Melissa mentioned to me about an hour ago that Pepsi has decided to bring back their early 90’s failure of a product Crystal Pepsi. My first though was that it will make a lot of money now.

Why would I say that? Well, back in the early 90’s, I want to say 1992, the world was just too close to Coca Cola’s 80’s failure of Coke II, and didn’t want to see something as “different” as a clear cola. Also, Crystal Pepsi didn’t taste like a cola but something similar to Sprite.

Now, with the way society is, with social media and today’s youth gravitate to these gimmicky concepts I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised that Crystal Pepsi is a bigger smash now than it bombed in the earlier 1990’s.
