message: I thin it would be worth a mention of the #BringBackCrystalPEPSI hashtag started by L.A. Beast in the Revival Speculation section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.46.195 (talk) 09:45, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

message: there is another simpsons episode to mention crystal cola.  In the episode, a character reminises about the product.  I cannot rememeber the episode though.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.229.181.173 (talk) 01:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I expanded the bullet about Human Giant in the Parodies section. Technically, though, those aren't all parodies. Just because Crystal Pepsi appears in a TV show, that doesn't necessarily make it a parody. Perhaps the "Parodies" section should be renamed.  --scott
:Agreed and done.  Renamed "Pop Culture References" (pun intended).  --BizMgr (talk) 13:52, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I just changed "clear-colored" to simply "clear."  Perhaps I'm being a bit too picky, but clear isn't a color where I come from.  Maybe someone could do further research which may warrant a description such as transparent or translucent or whatever.Gabenowicki 02:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Clear" on its own is a bit ambiguous. "Clear-colored" doesn't sound right either. Somewhere in the article is a reference to "color-less" sodas - how about that? Rd232 talk 08:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone remember Crystal Clear Amaco Ultimate (Gasoline)????
*I do.  It came out around the same time Crystal Pepsi came out.  Clear was the hip thing during those times, it seems.  161.225.129.111 15:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Clear product 

message: The first and only time I had this was when I was about 9 sneaking into the Faulkner Hospital's vending machine room with my friends (this is what we did for fun and adventure) and then in a sugar crazed frenzy we would proceed to the parking garage and jump off the back of it. This was especially fun when it snowed and they would plow all the snow form the top most level over the edge and create large snow piles to land in on the ground.
Another more funny (less relevant, but funny nonetheless) aspect of this memory is seeing the many many home made bongs made of small plastic bottles with a hole punched in the side, a straw inserted in said hole, and some foil on the opening on the top to act as a screen and not knowing what it was at such an age. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, "Rejoice O young man in thy youth..." (and ignorance)
The Faulkner Hospital, as I remember it (before the renovations), may be viewed in the movie Southie featuring Mark Walberg for those who are interested.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.17.221 (talk) 03:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  I Remember... 

message: I vividly remember flipping bottles over myself looking for winning caps.  I cannot seem to find any media coverage of it, though.  Which seems strange.  Anybody else have any luck?  
On the up side, I've pretty much got everything else referenced now.  --BizMgr (talk) 04:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a "duh" concept since any clear soft drink in a clear bottle would show anything under the label.  With Sprite, they use green-colored plastic to cover it over.  But this is just logical and I don't think it would actually need to have some sort of media coverage.  But I guess the Wiki-rules apply to all or they apply to none.

message: David Novak (CEO of YUM! brands) wrote a book in 2007 called "The Eductation of an accidental CEO".  He was the creator of Crystal Pepsi, and in his book talks about how he went through with idea despite "warning signs", specifically negative feedback from Don Kendall (founder of PepsiCo)and the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Association.  In Dec., 2007 Novak was interviewed by Judann Pollack in Advertising Age.  In the interview he says that Crystal Pepsi was his worst marketing mistake.  He also says that Crystal Pepsi was ahead of it's time and that it could have been sucessful if managed properly.  This is my first time to participate in Wikipedia so I'm not really sure how it works.  Any advice would be helpful!  If anyone wants to use this info. feel free.

message: Pepsi Clear was sold in some mexican cities for some months in 2008 but it's hard to find now. It didn't taste a lot like the original Pepsi, it had a rather citric flavor added.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.169.152.83 (talk) 22:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I have been told by a Pepsi employee about the short shelf life of this product. Anyone knows if this is true?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brunofvalli (talk • contribs) 19:39, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Low shelf life 

message: The statement "Initial sales were good but quickly fell" would need a different source entirely, not just an additional source. The paper in question has only one statement about Crystal Pepsi: "On the other hand, despite extensive market research that suggested likely success as well as Pepsi’s large marketing budget, consumers evidently had a strong preference against a caffeine-free, clear cola (known as “Crystal Pepsi”)." Not only is the source of this information not given in the paper, but it doesn't even imply the sentence that was in the article.Ulmanor (talk) 18:10, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Revival Speculation
The first Facebook like page to bring back Crystal Pepsi was created on July 23, 2011.  https://www.facebook.com/BringbackCrystalClearPepsi by Neal Enright.
Then in September 2014 The Coca-Cola Company re-introduced the soft drink Surge, leading to speculation in the public and amongst media about the return of Crystal Pepsi.[10] Then the Bring back Crystal Clear Pepsi page reached out to LA Beast in April of 2015.  He responded with a video directing his fans to the Facebook page.  Offering a t-shirt giveaway to all that supported.  Afterwards the following of supporters reached into the tens of thousands. LA Beast himself raising money on a gofundme page for 15 billboards erected around the Los Angeles area, and a commitment to ride a mobile billboard truck at Pepsi's Purchase, New York headquarters on June 15 & 16, 2015.[12][13][14][15] The interest from this campaign led to an official response by Pepsi Co. on June 8, 2015, which indicated that Crystal Pepsi would be making a comeback.[16][17]

message: TAC PlazaMaster, with regard to the proposed infobox images, I would personally say that neither are the best - the original image has excessive lens flare that disguises the actual crystal clear aspect, and the new image has condensation that does the same thing - you cannot see the crystal clear contents.
The infobox should be the best image to represent the article subject, and of the two, I'd say that the original is just - and only just - the best option as it does show the clarity.  But I'd be on the look out for an alternative to both.
Finally, I think that Smuckola needs to moderate their edit summaries - frustration aside, the image certainly is not "garbage".  Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:47, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
