Crystal Pepsi launch ad - 1-minute version - 1993

[cakedoodle]

Im curious what it was like!

[theghostsofgiants]

Not ironically; nostalgically. (Crystal Pepsi was way better than everyone gives it credit for.)

[xJellystix]

I was looking for the SNL parody.......

[circle3me3bert]

I wish i could thumbs up the description. made me laugh

[VCRchivist]

@circle3me3bert Thanks!

[wildsmiley]

Right now I wish I was drinking Crystal Pepsi. Right now it's been 18 years since I've had it. Right now I'm getting nostalgic about 1992, playing Sega Genesis in my buddy's basement and drinking Crystal Pepsi while listening to Metallica's black album. Right now I feel so old.

[TommyboyGTP]

@wildsmiley Ironic you say that, cause I did exactly the same thing, and I even had a Sega Genesis!

[Vinnylevinesh0w]

Right now, the clear craze is over.

[Mrbaltimore2001]

Who ever thought of advertisting crystal clear pepsi like that, I hope got their ass whopped, and then fired.

[InternetVagrant]

The video comment is right. Why can't I find any Crystal Gravy around here?

[yamilink03]

For about 20 seconds, you have no idea what is going on.

[mr2del]

I honestly miss that drink!!

[flyersfan4888]

*random change* LOL

[ch20stn]

Right now, Van Halen's career is in the toilet.

[gabeguzman]

They should bring it out for like a spring or summer thing once a year. I remember trying this stuff it was good. I can't believe people are actually drinking a 18 year old soda now! 

[Iloveitloud62]

Van Halen is still trying to un-do the damage from that one!

[2JC]

Right now they need to bring back Crystal Pepsi.

[Tizzebow22]

OMG they had DIET Crystal Pepsi?!? BRING IT BACKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TimmyCherry]

I actually thought it was pretty good. They tried saying it tasted exactly like regular Pepsi, just fresh and natural, but it was different. Similar to Pepsi, but with a bit of a Sprite taste. I was conditioned to associate this Right Now song with Crystal Pepsi. Whenever I hear it this drink immediately comes to mind ...

[Mannywallace]

I remember buying it..can't remember what it tasted like. Perhaps it's best that way.

[EchidonaMicHog]

RIGHT NOW

Not see kola

[jaredholmgren]

IT REALLY TASTED LIKE LOTION

[RagnarokSam]

So Serious.

[HenryBloggit]

Right now somebody is realizing that "clear" doesn't mean "good for you". High fructose corn syrup is clear, and Crystal Pepsi was loaded with it. Drink Pepsi Throwback instead if you're feeling nostalgic.

[BRD453]

Ah. The 90's. My teen years. The decade I started out a boy, and ended a young man. Probably the most memorable decade of one's life.

[vigo894]

Bring back Crystal Pepsi Pepsico. And do not kill Cap'n Crunch.

[ThaFlameofATown]

So 90s that it hurts.

[edgexxi]

Right now, I wish I had a bottle of this clear elixir.

[XXcrystalishaaXX]

I reamber gettin' this from another country xD

[morbiddolly]

i LOVED crystal pepsi too bad it didnt take off it was too werid for ppl to fathom damn cave dwelllers

[ningle4567]

what did it taste like

[bigal2k643]

@ningle4567 it tasted like cafiene free pepsi mixed with pepsi twist it was delichios(bad spelling is cool)

[willy7369]

Right Now , I'm missing all the years of my youth and the great commercials and TV shows from the late 70's thru the 90's. What has happened to TV and commercials???

[VanHalenWorshiper]

Right now im wishing that pepsi would reissue crystal pepsi

Right now im googling crystal pepsi

[JBhab30]

LMAO i was born in 92 this was made 17 years ago i want them to make it again it looks cool i wonder if it taste good tho

[CitySkin09]

@JBhab30 - It tastes just like regular pepsi which is frickin' awesome. It was clear too!

[Diskoboy1974]

This was the last soda I remember buying in glass bottles :(

[logmein84]

that shit was good. The video hypnotises me.

[GuyOnChair]

I'd fuck it....

[NakedCreep]

Goddamn so many subliminal messages in this video.

[tuxedomark]

Anyone remember Crystal from the Makers of Pepsi? It was a citrus drink that came out just after Crystal Pepsi was discontinued, using pretty much the same label. I seem to be the only one that remembers it. =(

[rkmugen]

Pepsi should have something like an iTunes store. Pepsi would re-make the sodas of the past (Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Blue, Summer Mix, Josta, Pepsi Throwback), and when people go onto the online store, they can purchase these drinks that local distributors just can't and/or won't carry. It's a win-win. Pepsi can see directly which market wants which drinks without guesswork, and the consumer gets to bathe in as much of the drink of their choice without reprisal.

CRYSTAL PEPSI & PEPSI BLUE 4 EVER

[VCRchivist]

@rkmugen Maybe a bottle-on-demand or limited-edition type service? The Coke museum in Atlanta apparently has a soda fountain that includes lots of drinks available only in other countries... so the technology isn't too far a stretch.

[HenshinVault]

Crystal Pepsi > Coke Zero

[whatisthedeal01]

I thought it tasted just like regular Pepsi. Bring it back!! ha

[gedaman]

Does anyone remember Pepsi Kona? It was the coffee flavored Pepsi which was around in 1996. I remember drinking a lot of that stuff back then.

I really liked Crystal Pepsi. It's something Pepsi needs to bring back to the market.

[VikingLady219]

Pepsi should bring back this product and also bring back the Pepsi Twist (the one with lemon) and the Pepsi Vanilla! It was a bad decision to discontinue these!

[Mysterwright]

@VikingLady219 It was. They had no excuse with Crystal Pepsi. They claimed that someone found a needle inside a can?! Lame. If you notice, each time Pepsi comes out with a new flavor? Troops are deployed to the Middle East! O.O Conspiracy? Maybe its like Eddie Griffin in Double Take (2001) bitching about the government calling in "goddamn Mother's Cookies."

[Alemirex]

YES! RIGHT NOW I HAVE A RARE BOTTLE OF DIET CRYSTAL CLEAR PEPSI...ITS STILL CARBONATED...PAYED 40$ AT EBAY...ITS SOO RARE I MISS IT...I CANT DRINK IT THOUGH!!!! PEPSI PLEEEEEEEAAASE FUCKING BRING IT BACK!!!!!!

[vidaa82]

i remember snl did a spoof on this about clear gravy.

[wrnchhead76]

@vidaa82 Lmao, me too, and it looked so GROSS!!!!!

[Kilmonjaro117]

@clarkoisp yup Ctfxc FTW lol

[clarkoisp]

CTFXC FTW?

[texasjay]

Is that Elizabeth Berkeley at 0:40?

[Removes]

There really was no difference in taste when I tried it back in the day. Actually, I prefer the crystal look to the sludgy shit brown caramel color, but apparently everybody else doesn't. Oh well, it's just like green ketchup.

[ANONONJEWTUBE]

0:20

Oh shit, look at that futuristic font!

[odysseus0681]

Dengray: "Right Now" by Van Halen

[DengrayKai211]

is there like a longer version of this song?

[RichGilly]

I wish I could taste this sweet sweet drink again. I miss the Slushy version too!

[Bigmikecj7]

This stuff was the greatest, I wish Pepsi would bring it back

[hougly]

Here Here!! I agree!! I really miss it.

[mainhoomsanjeev]

Why did they stop selling it?

[wiccaboi83]

Lots of reasons, the main one being very poor sales.

[LeonMeekis84]

@wiccaboi83 and because of your fat ugly momma

[iCON752]

i remeber drinking this stuff it was good!!

[SpamNapkin]

Right now someone is drinking an expired bottle of Crystal Pepsi.

Right now they aren't feeling so good.

[bigal2k643]

@SpamNapkin i did that before quiteafew times 93 gtreat 95 still great 98 still great 2000 good 12005 decent 2008 bad 20010 disgusting

[0ldtimeh0ckey]

@SpamNapkin Even fresh off the corner store cooler back in the day I felt sick after drinking that stuff.

[skymunro]

Brings back memories......

[talbotfisher1984]

Haha 16oz bottles!

[tytania7]

Haha, great video info

[anarchist316]

[phatkix]

This drink was the shitt. Good song too.

[imagesk8r6969]

Van Halen fucking RULEZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sbj9210]

[Shavo358]

I read an article about flying creatures. And birds were in it.
