Geek Grub #4: Crystal Pepsi is Crystal Good...

Read title; Review over.See ya next time...

Ok I'll elaborate...




History lesson first... In the early 1990s Pepsi released Crystal Pepsi. It was hyped up like crazy. It had no artificial colors, no caffeine, it was set to be a more healthy alternative to colored Pepsi, for those who wanted the taste of regular Pepsi, but weren't to fond of that much chemicals and unnecessary ingredients, it even had a big marketing push behind it. It was popular for a while, By a while I mean a a few months. There are many theories on why it failed, but some believe the confusion between the similar yet different Tab Clear from Coca-Cola caused both drinks to fail, There were a couple attempts to revive the drink in one form or another as well as rumors and mock-ups, but none were as hyped as the re-release recently with Crystal Pepsi back on store shelves.right now. How does the drink fare?


Crystal Pepsi has that cola taste to it, it's sweet, candy like, and comes in a form similar to 7up or Sprite. but don't mistake it for that because this has caffeine, and A cola flavor rather than a lemon lime flavor (FAST FACT: Pepsi at one point had Crystal by Pepsi, it was an attempt to revive Crystal Pepsi, but with a taste more similar to 7up rather than Pepsi), It tastes exactly like Pepsi, but with no colors. I like Pepsi more than coke just FYI. It should get your nostalgia senses in a swirly straw if you had crystal Pepsi when it was new, but I'm assuming that based of the design, I was only -2 in 1993. However if you want to get it, get it by October, because that's when they stop selling it. However I wish that they release it permanently, because if there's one cool thing in the junk/snack food market, it's releasing revivals of classic products in that market. Thumbs up.


I just await the day that they re-release Pepsi Blue...
