Crystal Pepsi

Picture
Crystal Pepsi was a caffeine free PepsiCo. product that was sold in America, Canada, and for a while Australia. Also sold for a longer time in Europe. This new Pepsi tasted much like the normal cola, unlike other clear products that tasted more "citrusy" if it was clear. The marketing on this product didn't go to well and in a few years fell apart. So a good tasting product was washed out of the system and hasn't come back...yet.
