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.
I think the “crystal clear” version was to counter the buggaboo about the caramel coloring in colas being carcinogenic. And it is.
The FDA sez that if you drink a gallon of the straight undiluted caramel coloring every day for 5 years, you might get cancer......or something along those lines.
