Crystal pepsi was delicious. Clearly you have some parental neglect issues to work through, because most people know this.

- StrictDabbler 4y agoCrystal pepsi tasted like normal Pepsi but it didn't stain your teeth brown. We, as a society, drink intense dyes every day largely because of the legacy of prohibition... weirdly colored sodas were the social camouflage for "medicinal" liquor. Surely this brightly colored froth-tube can't be harmful! This rolled into the marketing illustrations of the mid-20th century. On a utilitarian level all sodas should be clear.
- nominusllc 4y agoThis comment resonates with me. I want to have a soda, but without all the dyes. Or any drink, or even foods for that matter like salmon that is dyed pink.
- fallingfrog 4y agoHahaha! I see your point but.. having "Crystal Pepsi" just seems weird from a branding point of view, why not just call it Sprite? Like, what's the expectation of what that would taste like? It's like saying "7-UP root beer", it's just really not clear what flavor I should expect upon drinking it. I have the same issues with other postmodern mashup fast foods, like, I've seen taco pizza and pizza flavored tacos. Make up your mind, are you a pizza or a taco? Such an abomination is a challenge to all existing categories of being.
