Their colas are so tooth- achingly sweet ... even their diet stuff. Back around the turn of the century Pepsi came out with a "diet" product called Pepsi One - claiming but a single calorie in a 12 oz. serving. And it was pretty good tasting a lot like Coca Cola. But it was hard to find and the gas station where I worked at the time could not get the route driver to leave more than minimal amounts of product - which always sold out quickly. Then Pepsi started promoting the "Pepsi One" and lots of product was available. Sadly they had reformulated it away from the original taste. It did not sell well.

Haven't seen ginger. I like grapefruit, cranberry and cherry flavoured seltzers though.
