Along with my views on Japan segments, I'm gonna be doing some other ones, hell if I work hard enough people may actually start reading this bad boy. Soooo to start this off, let's look at a drink I haven't seen in well over a decade. That oh so refreshing, oh so pure, oh so healthy, oh so not not brown soda known as....Crystal Pepsi:
Oh Crystal Pepsi, how much I miss you. For those unaware of the delight... and really I use that term loosely here, known as Crystal Pepsi, allow me to take you back to the year 1993. You may have been 6 like I was or older, or younger or heck, maybe not even born. The 80's were slowing in their influence over the decade and the 90's were just beginning to get their own identity. It would still be some years before the Macarena or the Spice Girls, but Crystal Pepsi slipped into the health craze with a storm. Just think about, all the great taste of Pepsi minus the bad stuff like caffeine or brown! In reality, everyone thought that making their drink clear like water made it pure like water but Pepsi Co. were really just fooling us. Sure it lacked caffeine, but the high high HIGH amount of sugar still reigned supreme. But hey I was 6 and health wasn't so much on the agenda as having clear pop. It was like drinking Sprite, except without the lemon-lime sensations tingling on your tongue.
Well to make a long story short, after everyone drank it to death in the span of a year, Pepsi got rid of it. I thought it was making a comeback in Japan, but instead they introduced Cool Cucumber... what kind of a taste is that?
