Huh, never tried it when it was out before, will give it a go this time. Don’t know why they bothered, regular Pepsi over ice was fine with me. Must be a novelty thing or some such silly-ass crap, but most times manufacturers screw with a product, they tend to bone it up.
If it’s not made with “real sugar”, then I ain’t buying it.
“In-store marketing will include push-button devices that play the 1990s-era song “Whoomp! (There It Is).”
So it failed when marketed before by Whoomp! is gonna sell it this time?
I used to love crystal Pepsi. When they decided to take it off the market, I ran around to as many stores as I could trying to buy them out until I realized I would only be able to drink so much before it expired. I also hope they don’t poison it with HFCS and I hope they don’t make the mistake of turning it into a citrus flavored drink again.
There is no way I can describe the original taste. Not quite Pepsi but brighter. It was smooth and delicious ice cold. I’ll be checking the store tomorrow, but it probably won’t taste like I remember. A quarter century later, my taste buds have surely changed or they will have cheapened the formula.
[[When it originally launched in the early 1990s it was backed by a $40 million ad budget. But the soda flopped as consumers grew disenchanted with clear sodas…]]
They spent 40 millions dollars and it flopped .
Why would they try it again ?
I want mine “right now!”
It’s been available here in Canada for about a month now.
Tastes like a “cleaner” version of Pepsi. I hope it sticks around this time because I’m a sucker for 80’s and 90’s nostalgic goodies.
That crappy Zima drink came out in 93 as well. I think all these clear drinks must have been marketed to women, at least in my crowd a guy drinking Zima raised eyebrows.

The return of Crystal Pepsi is due to the internet lol In fact a youtube influencer who goes by LABeast made this his cause and his million plus followers assisted with the challenge to bring back Crystal Pepsi.
I tried it when it came out. I found it didn’t taste very good.
