At first, one marvels at the technological zeal that propelled men of science to learn how to deep fry a liquid. Then you realize the Pepsi just replaces the water in a batter that gets fried.
For $4.00, you get about eight ping-pong-ball-sized chunks of dough that are smothered in powdered sugar, cinnamon and whipped cream.
The first thing you notice is the crispiness; like all fried foods, the Pepsi has a pleasant texture. It's doughier than a funnel cake, and you can almost swear you can feel the carbonation on your tongue.
The toppings sort of overwhelm the flavor: only the aftertaste offers an ever-so-slight hint of cola.
And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's really a pretty good dessert -- Just not for the reason advertised, Not for the joy of Pepsi.
