Crystal Pepsi
Yes, I want it back, I absolutely loved the shit, and weren't there two versions, one with a citrus taste and one without?

Can looks like it was spawned from a combination of a normal can and LSD

All 'color-coded' Pepsi products taste like ass*.
The only good variation on a normal cola product besides a Cherry version would be Vanilla Coke.

Well, I tend to object to Pepsi on principle, so I'd say "oh hell no."Shrykull wrote:Yes, I want it back, I absolutely loved the shit, and weren't there two versions, one with a citrus taste and one without?
Just thought I'd provide a bit of a counterpoint.

Crystal Pepsi seemed like a good idea but to me it had an odd chemical aftertaste. In theory it was supposed to taste exactly like Pepsi but it wouldn't have caramel food coloring added. Obviously there must be more to it than that. I don't like original Pepsi compared to Coke but Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One and a couple of other Pepsis all taste better than Crystal Pepsi.
The commercial for this stuff used Van Halen's "Right Now" as it's tune.
As a big Mt. Dew fan, both original and diet I officially state that Code Red is nasty. It is remotely tolerable if it comes from a soda fountain but otherwise it's just gross. I like Vanilla Coke but a little goes a long way. I'm not really into any kind of cherry soda. Cherry 7-Up was decent and Cherry Coke was tolerable (both better than Cod Red). That Blue crap Pepsi is putting out right now looks very very nasty.

I also hate Pepsi. It has a highly acrid taste to me. Coke is for me.
I voted no. I had it while vacationing near Denver waaaay back when Pepsi was test-marketing it, which had to be easily ~10 years ago.
My reaction was basically "Eh..." It tasted exactly like regular Pepsi, and the clear thing made it kinda weird.

Whenever I drink Pepsi it feels like I ate a ton of sugar...
Crystal Pepsi was basically the same flavor, except without the colour additives. To me it tasted the same, but drinking it from a can kinda defeated the purpose of it being transparent.
I think Coca Cola tastes a lot better, but it's more likely to melt your teeth

A friend of mine had a great gag article about an upcoming drink called 'Pepsi Rainbow', unfortunatly, I think it was lost when the site changed servers. I'll go bug him about it to see if I can get a link.
