I thought I'd place this in the random section. Here goes....
---
Crystal Pepsi was only on the market from 1993-4, and upon its initial launch in January 1993, it ran ads during Super Bowl XXVII, set to the Van Halen song "Right Now". But now, for a short time, it is back.



I've included this brief vid of myself taste-testing the cola for the first time. :)

I will admit Pepsi has grown on me but I have always liked Coke more and really my choice is Dr Pepper, 7up, and Sierra Mist. Thats it really, I don't drink a lot of soda and Pepsi was horrible for a while but I can drink just about anything now.

I couldn't care less. :roll:

However, if they ever bring back another huge marketing failure known as "New Coke", I will care. I will take that as a sign that world really is coming to an end, and I will be stocking up on suicide pills.

On that note I hope Coke starts putting cocaine in their drinks again before the end of the world. I'll be having a lot of that thanks :mrgreen:

This is going to sound like I'm a complete freak, but, I've never been able to tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi....! :oops: I know, I know, everyone in the world can tell the difference! I don't know what's wrong with me, seriously. I can't tell! They taste the same to me. What is that?

That might be because there isn't much difference, Pepsi is a little sweeter to me but thats about it.

Thank you! I've seen people get so vehement about the difference (not here but elsewhere and even a real-life friend), people saying "Oh I refuse to drink Pepsi/Coke [insert preference here], Pepsi/Coke is far superior!! Get that other stuff away from me!" -- and I'm thinking "huh??" :lol:

It was actually released July 7 in Canada, so last month. Check your local stores if they still have it, I say.

I'll have to look for it. I don't think I got to try it the first time. I was really young and my mom is anti-soda.

Slight correction: It was first released in April 1992. It left the market in late 1993. Apologies for my flawed research.

Wish i could try it (American/English stores in Stockholm probably import it) but i've given sugar based sodas a miss because of my health issues.

Before that i used to have Dr Pepper and Cherry Coke running through my veins...

I love soft drinks so I should keep an eye out for this. I also like Pepsi a lot more than Coke.

I need to try it. I wasn't born when it came out the first time, but when I was in middle school, one of my special interests was the 1990's, so I am excited about this :)
Next, I hope Fruitopia makes a comeback :D

Never liked "Crystal Pepsi," to be honest. You might as well drink 7-Up!

and New Coke really sucked back in 1985.

I might try it...then again there is that Pepsi 1893, which is phenomenal so not sure I'd pass that up to get a bottle of pepsi crystal instead.
