<p>Pepsi Kona was available for sale by my house when I was in ... umm..&nbsp; 10th or 11th grade.&nbsp; I find it odd that they test marketed a product like this in the Lehigh Valley, I would have thought they would have tried it in a bigger place.</p><p>I remember not liking it.&nbsp; Maybe I just didn't like coffee much back then, Coke Blak I find pretty good.</p><p>I also remember my chemistry teacher making Pepsi+Coffee+booze drinks for himself before this stuff came out&nbsp; When it came out he said it didn't have enough kick to it.&nbsp; Not like anyone cares but it at least shows that people were mixing the two products together before Kona came out.&nbsp;</p>
