I firmly believe Crystal Pepsi would be popular right now if it made a comeback

r/

I recall it not doing very well before just because it didn’t look the same as regular Pepsi so it turned people off. Now with the health consciousness of people, excluding the syrup while maintaining its general taste would be a popular thing with today’s market. Clear sodas of all kinds are seemingly preferred nowadays compared to the ones with heavy syrups and artificial dyes.

    Did you taste it? It was pretty gross.

    They brought it back a few years ago for a limited time. I loved it!

    Nobody healthy drinks sodas. Nobody.

    Nah, people still hate Pepsi cause they didn’t give that kid his jet and caused chaos in the Phillipines.

    Not 8 years ago when it flopped again when they brought it back?

    It was back a few years ago. I don’t think, in this day and age, anyone who still drinks soda regularly is making health-based decisions on their soda choice.

    Do you have any evidence for this other than “I really like Crystal Pepsi”?

    It was fairly popular where I was when it came back last time. CAN- ON was always sold out

    I remember the crystal pepsi, know that I had it but don’t remember anything as far as the taste. kind of surprised they haven’t brought it back on occasion. LA Beast did a video some years back of him drinking a vintage bottle he bought online

    No, that’s not why Crystal Pepsi failed. It was a concerted effort by the Coca Cola company that killed it. Coca Cola launched Tab Clear with the specific purpose to kill both of them. They heavily advertised Tab Clear as a zero calorie version of coke, which people back then really hated. People then associated Pepsi with that as well, and it died 2 years later.

    It didn’t do very well because it was gross. End of.

    It would just get lost in the sea of other gimmicky limited time sodas.

    It was great when I was a kid! I don’t remember how it tastes but I would certainly buy it.

  17. Moe_Danglez Avatar

    It would be popular because it would be trendy for a while then fizzle out. The product has to be good, bottom line.

    It came back for a limited time for several years in Canada. Sold well the first year, did not sell well the subsequent years.

    What was the taste ?

  20. Hand_of_Doom1970 Avatar

    Health consciousness was a thing back then too, maybe more so.

  21. loki2002 Avatar

    I liked it but I knew no one else did so I took it to every event I was sent to as a kid where we had to bring something to share.

    Ommgggg. I agree. I miss Crystal Pepsi!

  23. Greedy_Ray1862 Avatar

    It comes back every so often. I believe I got one 2 or 3 years ago at a Walmart

    Pepsi Anything sux. If it weren’t for the huge subsidies from the Salty Snack Division of Frito Lay, Pepsi soft drinks wouldn’t exist anymore. Pepsi, as a stand alone beverage company, can’t and hasn’t been able to make it on their own since the early 90s. Frito Lay saved their ass from Coke almost buying them out.

    What about Crystal Gravy?

    This is the most popular opinion in my one bedroom apartment that I stay in. I’d kiss you if I could. More people should preach the crystal gospel.

    I bet if the head Cheeto drank it his maggot would follow

    Middle of the summer, three month LTO, would be perfect

  29. Blinkin_Xavier Avatar

    It comes back all the time, and then noone buys it so it goes away lol

  30. DocThundahh Avatar

    What syrup are you taking about? Sprite is loaded with high fructose corn syrup

  31. Grelivan Avatar

    I loved it when it came out and if it came out now my blood sugar would take one look at it and be mad as hell at pepsi for not letting me have it back when I could drink it.

  32. nopester24 Avatar

    it did come back and again it didnt do well. and that just proves to me how many people in this world are idiots because it is freaking awesome

  33. robbadobba Avatar

    Not as hot as Crystal Gravy.

  34. ScattyTings Avatar

    even better. i feel if crystal pepsi had a limited return around the same time LA Beast did his “trying crystal pepsi” video, that shit woulda SOLD

  35. fhxefj Avatar

    Yeah, what if you were drinking a Pepsi and someone tried to stab you

    You wouldn’t be able to see past your Pepsi and guess who dead?

    You, you’re dead, stabbed

  43. RolandMT32 Avatar

    They brought it back just a few years ago but they didn’t keep it around for very long..

  44. Agile_Cash_4249 Avatar

    I still think Pepsi should bring back seasonal Holiday Spice Pepsi. I can’t imagine it not doing well with the emphasis on seasonal drinks these days.

    That’s why I only drink Zevia. No sugar or artificial dyes

  46. Pretend_Barracuda69 Avatar
