This popular drink from the '90s might be making a comeback

Pepsi might be bringing back Crystal Pepsi, a popular drink from the 1990s.
The clear-colored beverage, which tasted like regular Pepsi, debuted in 1992 in a couple of test markets and rolled out nationwide a year later.
But after a couple years, it quietly disappeared from stores.
The drink might be making a comeback now thanks to an online campaign begging for its return. The campaign was launched by Kevin Strahle, who has more than 1.2 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.

Reposted on: 17.6.22 1232.33 | I remember that Crystal Pepsi was supposed to taste like regular Pepsi without the coloring. But it didn't...it had a medicine-like taste.
Don't care if I ever see it again.
