I just want them to bring back that clear pepsi, I don't care how much cancer it causes.

Clear Pepsi was awful. Although it didn't produce quite the vomit-inducing reflex of the menthol beer Miller test-marketed back when I was in school.

You know what else is in there? Carbon Dioxide. Why does Pepsico want to destroy the planet?

With that name, "Raw" I suddenly had a thought of a science experiment we did in third grade. We dropped chunks of raw meat into cola, and each day we would monitor what was left of the meat. I think it only took 4 days before the pepsi dissolved te meat.

mmm....meat soda....

All joking aside, they might really be on to something. I think most people would just be happy with cane sugar instead of HFCS. Has anyone tasted it?

Great. A Pepsi product that tastes like Coke.
 
2008-02-11 11:41:06 AM
I'm getting sick of this organic green horseshiat. Unless you live naked in the woods and survive on berries and rain water, you're part of the problem and always will be.

I saw some dumb biatch at the grocery yesterday trying to be "green". She refused the plastic bags and instead went to another checkout lane to grab some extra recycled-paper bags and bagged her items herself, all while yapping on her cell phone and brushing aside her fake hair weave. Oh, and she was purchasing just about every tabloid rag piece of shiat magazine in stock. So after being all green with her recycled paper bags, she purchased some tree-killing magazines and got into her air-polluting car and drove home.

Oh, and her leather wallet was a nice touch, too.

I attempted to drink that soda in a Potbelly's, once. I ended up vomitting nearly vomitting in the bathroom just after the "soda" hit my tastebuds.

Crystal Pepsi tasted exactly the same as regular Pepsi. The only difference was it didn't have the coloring added. Any perceived difference in taste was purely psychological.

cubsfan07, you're half-right. But I take the tack that any little thing you do to contribute adds up in the long run. It's not a question of living naked in the woods...nobody's going to do that (well, almost nobody). But there are hundreds of opportunities every day to choose to do little things that have a net positive value.

Get off your high horse and take care of your own business.

I'm pretty sure it was more highly-carbonated. At least, that's how it seemed to me (as well as anyone walking behind me)

Hippies will consume anything if you slap "organic" on it.
 
2008-02-11 11:57:34 AM
I hope you have as much fun drinking it as I will reading studies about its affects 10 years from now... assuming the product lasts longer than 6 months.

I guess drinking water is just out of the question.
 
2008-02-11 11:58:13 AM
I for one loved crystal pepsi and have been dreaming about it for years.

It is possible that nostalgia has taken over and I've exaggerated the taste as wildly different. All i know is that it was my favorite as a kid and i'm still pissed it's gone.

The iced tea brewed cola made by hippies, but distributed by a heartless, multi-national corporation!

I'm indifferent to organic labels anyway. But it's a sad sight to know that we have to call something "organic" just for being normal!

Why not just drink beer? Seriously. It's carbonated, delicious, all natural ingredients, and has been proven in studies to combat heart disease.

"Boosts personality" is a synonym-esque term with the real meaning of "makes your kid an annoying loud mouthed jackass".

So, exactly why must I have a high horse when I reuse my canvas bag at the grocery store? I'm not doing it to impress anyone.

First I got to save Africa by buying that "Tears are Not Enough" single.

Now I get to save the World by buying Pepsi.

I'm so awesome.
