7/8/09 - Crystal Pepsi


Am I the only one that actually liked Crystal Pepsi? I guess so, seeing as how it didn't last more than a year or so on the market... For whatever reasons (most likely lousy marketing, et al), I think people expected it to taste EXACTLY like original Pepsi... but it didn't. Back in '93, my "friend" (Lord only knows why I hung out with that unfoundedly cocky, pretentious, supercilious fellow) in high school said it "tasted like turpentine" -- which, rather than making him look so decisively "witty," merely begged the question: how the HELL would he know what turpentine actually tastes like? I, on the other hand, actually liked it and was disappointed when Pepsi discontinued it.
