My wife comes back from shopping.

"I saw something. Pepsi...Crystal?"

"What."

"Crystal Pepsi maybe?"

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. It was a shelf of singles, along the sides of one of the aisles where the chips are. Not with the other pops."

*Quickly checks phone* Wow! They did bring it back.

In June 2016, Pepsi announced that the drink would be making a second return, hitting Canadian stores on July 7th, and American stores on August 8th of that year. The soft drink is reformulated with caffeine and High Fructose Corn Syrup, and will be sold for eight weeks.




I now have some chilling in my fridge. They won't be ready for a few hours.

As noted above, it is different this time around, but I'm hoping it still has that light citrus flavour that I dug so much back in the day. Seriously, my friends and I loved the hell out of Crystal Pepsi back in the 90's. I texted them about this, and here is one of the responses:

"New Blink 182, everyone is playing Pokemon, and Crystal Pepsi. What year is it???"

Gonna party like it's 1999 1993.

    I thought Crystal Pepsi was pretty good back when it first was available, actually.

    For years I thought that Crystal Pepsi was just a clear Pepsi, which sounds delicious (because Pepsi is delicious)

    Then the Bombcast shattered my dreams when Jeff revealed that it was some 7-Up-like concoction and wasn't actually just clear Pepsi at all

    For years I wanted Sprite Remix to come back, and a few weeks ago I found it had, just under a different name

    It tastes exactly like I remember, but I don't like it anymore

    The saddest possible ending

  • LTMLTM Bikes and BeardsRegistered User regular
    I don't think I've bought a single Surge since it made its comeback. Which is sad, because I liked it back in the day.

    I will probably get in on the Crystal Pepsi reboot, though.

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    I wish Surge came in smaller cans. I kind of like it but get sick of it about halfway through, every time I have one. Plus it's way too much sugar and caffeine for me these days.

    Fruitopia is still here in Canada.

    Man, I haven't had a Jolt in forever though.

  • LTMLTM Bikes and BeardsRegistered User regular
    Portland used to have a lot of places that carried Jolt. I haven't found it in a store in a long time though.

    I remember there was a big controversy at my Junior High, because the school wanted to put soda machines by the cafeteria, and a couple in the locker rooms at the gym. Everybody was all "Think of the children! They'll drink all this tooth rotting sugar filth, and the chemicals will stunt their growth and warp their minds, until they all become tiny weak-boned criminals and sex-deviants!"

    But then they put the machines in anyway, and they were full of Crystal Pepsi, which they could get super cheap because Pepsi was trying to promote it super aggressively. And no one wanted any, so the machines were gone after we came back from winter break.

    Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

    Coke is the only good soda. Pepsi is at best a tolerable replacement. Soda is bad overall

    If your taste buds are wired to make you think that Coke is good then I could see why you have a bad overall opinion of soda

    At what point does the band stop being that band

    Blink-182 without Tom DeLonge, that doesn't really seem like Blink-182 to me

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    it's weird that it is in Canada first. I don't think we had it here very long because at the time out food and drink laws prohibited its existence.

    What does it even taste like?

    Sort of the old axe problem, but with even more vaguery. Some bands are driven by multiple people and can persist as at least a version of themselves with the loss of one. Some bands really are defined by a single talent. I don't know enough about Blink-182 to say where they lie. Wikipedia says only one founding member remains, so maybe they're Blink-61 now
