They could probably call it "Crystal Energy" which would make it sound like a Final Fantasy consumable. That said it might also remind people of Final Fantasy XIII, so maybe not.

Or they could release their own Crystal Meth made from cristalized sugar and pepsi syrup.

Wasn't there some candy shop that made "Blue Sky" candy based off of Walter White's special brand of crystal meth? I recall seeing an article on that.
I really want to try this!

Viral marketing for Pepsi, or LA Beast?
If you mean Pepsi, Beast's been promoting Crystal Pepsi for waaay too long a time to suspect something fishy. Hell, the only reason he was able to advertise his campaign was through crowdfunding.
pepsi sounds and looks like a really strange word after reading this thread

Dewshine tastes awful BTW. Tried a bottle not too long ago and drinking it is basically:
1) Cool sensation on tongue
2) Faint hint of lime with an even fainter hint of lemon and no less than 75 metric ass-tonnes of sugar
3) 140% sugar-water after-taste not more than 1 second after initial sip, after-taste lingers for several minutes
If you really want to know what drinking it is like, just rip open 5-10 of those sugar packets you see in restaurants (or use a sugar cube), put a few drops of lemon/lime juice on your tongue, then scarf down the sugar and chase it with water. That's it.
[QUOTE=s0beit;47920008]People keep saying Crystal Pepsi was just clear Pepsi, but I thought (though I was alive, I hadn't tasted it, but I've heard from several people) that it has a distinctive flavor people seemed to enjoy.
People don't just want to bring back Pepsi which is clear, they want the taste[/QUOTE]
It did have a distinctive taste, and I personally felt that it tasted nothing like regular Pepsi, so I personally didn't care for it, but clearly a lot of people did.
But the good news is, with Crystal Pepsi coming back we can continue to power The John.
[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;47919223]quick wikipedia check says nothing; it's just caffeine free pepsi that's clear.
because clear = healthier[/QUOTE]
I don't understand, why do we want caffeine free drinks? Caffeine is the lifeblood of civilized society: all office workers and students would simaltaneously die without caffiene and the world would devolve into complete anarchy.

I had completely forgotten about the holiday spice flavor. I loved that stuff.
Oh shit, Jazz too. Also loved those.
It will probably be a limited run, have them in stock for a few months then they will be gone again.

I didn't know Pepsis favourite movie star is Joe Pesci

Truly a relic of the greatest era of the synergy of marketing and industry. Pepsi and Coke truly showed the world in the 80s that advertising psychology was all you need to sell a product. People didn't enjoy coke more than pepsi - but change the coke formula and take an option away from a consumer, even one they didnt use - and they would riot. Pepsi really took it to the next level with Blue and Crystal. Look at the amount of celebrity endorsees they used too - im sure Pepsi could've charge 5 bucks for water and it would sell.

I really want to try Pepsi Azuki. I would totally get addicted to soda again. I love sweet red bean shit.
If they do end up bringing it back, it'll flop just like it did last time because it's just clear Pepsi. The only reason anyone's paying any attention now is because some dude on the internet made some funny videos about it and blew a bunch of money on billboards and an ad truck.
Man, what a waste of time, money and dedication.
