Yesterday I took a nice long walk around my corner of Brooklyn. It was a beautiful day. I was walking through the area around the Gowanus Canal, a very “industrial wasteland” type area where you seldom see anyone other than truckers barreling past and the odd cab driver. There’s lots of garbage and rust and erosion. Great area to take pictures. Anyhow, amidst all the decay I noticed this bottle of Pepsi. It caught my eye because the soda itself looked different. I took a closer look and saw that, unbeknownst to me, the soda giant has evidently launched a brand new flavor called Pepsi Gold. It surprised me, cause, well, you know how these beverage companies are with their marketing blitzes. I checked the deli on my corner later but couldn’t find any. Must have been sold out. I wonder what it tastes like?

Oh well, guess I should have gone with my first thought Pepsi: Trucker’s Gold.
