"That is just beautiful. I like the KNN and Nakase and Teddylot scene"

I agree. And as always, kick arse layout.

It helps me to remember what month we are in.

A few months after the whole incident in Crystaltina and about six weeks after Miles started to mess with the spheres and garment grids, we find out that a lot of things have finally started to calm down for the most part. Most of the regulars here have been leaving Crystaltina and heading back to Earth more and more these days, staying longer than just a day.

It is now the summer of 2004 and both words (depending on where you live, actually) are both steaming hot and technically, it

Wait, I didn't say that Ranko was nice. I meant that he/she couldn't be Fem because she is nice.

Pepsi (without the cola part). I just like the taste of it better. But Coke is better in the fountain.

Course, I've been drinking Pepsi Vanilla for a while now.

Shame. We never got the diet version and I heard that didn't taste like diet at all.


They always say that it doesn't taste like diet, just to get you to buy it and try.

Of course there's better drinks out there than Pepsi and Coke......

Like rum and coke.

I'll say this, coke is better with alcohol than pepsi is.

Coke and pure vanilla extract is the best Vanilla Coke. That, or Vanilla Stoli.

Crystal Clear Pepsi was and will always be the best "flavored" pepsi out there.

It was out in the early to mid 90's and didn't last long.

Something about a chemical or something...bah......now that was good shit.

1K post about a grand drink:

A history...

During the 1980's, Madison Avenue advertisers created one of our societies most bizarre phenomena yet, the pinnacle of a century of pop culture and advertising prowess: The Cola Wars. In our over-technological, media-driven, consumer-happy, product driven culture, selling soda has become perhaps the biggest of American pastimes. Coca-Cola and Pepsi squared off for years and years of advertising coups trying to sell more soda to the already gas-filled, tooth rotted American public. A seemingly easy goal, but these companies have tried everything from pop-stars to bold challenges to the Americans persons.

In the early 90s, this trend continued. Among many new advertising campaigns, many soda companies tried introducing flashy new products that would catch as much media attention as possible. Crystal Pepsi was born in test markets on April 13th, 1992. (The guinea pig cities were my home of Providence, and also Denver & Dallas.) The cola was created by Pepsi Cola as a 'Clear Alternative,' a variant cola was formulated to lack any coloring, clear as water. Most clear sodas were lemon or lime flavored, but this would supposedly retain the cola's flavor. An American phenomenon was born.

Crystal Pepsi sailed through the approval process. Focus groups loved the stuff, and test marketing was stupendous. Crystal Pepsi went national in 1993 with a full scale media campaign featuring Van Halen's 'Right Now.' In the ad blitz that followed, sales were impressive...

And then it flopped....

Perhaps the American culture wasn't too easily fooled when it came to taking a familiar product and putting a new spin on it. Maybe the flavor difference was just too distracting. Maybe the Gods are fickle and Crystal Pepsi wronged them in some way. Crystal Pepsi, much like New Coke or the Titanic, remains as a reminder of man's hubris, our stubborn pride in creating something that just doesn't work and letting ourselves enough rope to hang ourselves. Or is it too complicated to read such big themes into such a mundane phenomenon?

The massive ad campaign was impressive. The soda's splash on the market was highlighted by being the focus of a Saturday Night Live parody for 'Crystal Gravy' featuring Kevin Nealon & Julia Sweeney dipping turkey drumsticks into a clear, gel-like replacement for everyday gravy.

A band called Gravy is titling their next album 'Crystal Gravy'

The advertising campaign has led to many lasting reminders of the now defunct cola.

The SuperGraphics company invented the world's first photo-realistic, computer generated bus wrap printing as their part of the campaign. Renting out the sides of buses, cars and trains with full bleed artwork wrapping is now a standard marketing ploy, based on this first experiment.

The fledgling PepsiStuff program featured for a short time, a Crystal Pepsi pool float.

The last phase of Crystal Pepsi's life was when it was resolicited to the masses as a citrus flavor drink. It was quickly drowned in a sea of other flavored, non-cola beverages.

Today, a web search for the term 'Crystal Pepsi' reveals that it has been mentioned about 160,000 times in various websites, usually in passing as in 'It will fail quicker than Crystal Pepsi' or 'Remember Crystal Pepsi? Me neither..' It is a true urban legend among the last wave of Gen-X-ers and the subsequent children of the 80s.

No mention of the product can be found on the Pepsi website today.

Contained: Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup and/or Sugar, Phosphoric Acid, Citric Acid, Natural Flavorings, and Modified Food Starch.
Caffeine-Free....100% Natural Flavors....Low Sodium....No Preservatives

Frightening but true! Crystal Pepsi still exists! People are selling unopened bottles of the stuff on eBay: search 'Crystal+Pepsi'

BREAKING NEWS Just found reference to '..a free promo Crystal Pepsi compilation w/ the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Camper van Beethoven and crap like that. (oh and the Rembrandts.. can't forget them, ha)..' on a webpage. The story is being pursued, and I am compiling a more complete track list. Which I now have..

~~

yadda yadda and it goes on..but you get the idea.

I loved it and wish it would make a comeback...it it looks doubtfull.
