    This clear pepsi sounded lame anyway. I would take the short-lived Surge anyday.

          i worked for pepsi and all it was was pepsi without the carmel coloring. it tasted the same. if you don't think so, it's all in your head anyways.
          Image can affect taste a lot. Why do you think no one liked Heinz's green and purple ketchups? They tasted exactly the same, but mentally people knew they were different, and didn't"like the taste".

          Ha ha yeah, back before they increased the points value by like 500 times. I had everything from the catalogue, minus the leather jacket. I kid you not. Every hat, every duffel bag. Every towel. Every shirt. CD Holder. The whole works pretty much.

            C'MON ITSSSSSSSS EVEEEEEERRRRYYYYYYTHINNNNNNNNGG

            question to former pepsi employee: Wouldn't the caramel coloring add to flavor on some level? in some small way, i mean 'pepsi' is the sum of its chemical components- who knows how caramel coloring interacts with the rest of these said elements? i'm hoping you do cause this is interesting.

                  I'll bet if I were to drink New Coke and Crystal Pepsi I would like it.

                      That was Van Halen, wasn't it?

                      I loved Crystal Pepsi and Surge both. I don't remember Clear Coke, though, but they may not have marketed it here.

                      When they had that Pepsi Points thing, I was working as a janitor and I would take all the caps from the bottles people threw away. I think I got a couple sleeping bags or blankets or something (hard to remember because my brother stole them shortly after), a couple DVDs, and I won one of the auctions for a Coco Lee video+CD set. Turned out I didn't really care for her music, though. I really wanted an mp3 player (this was back when they were relatively new) but by the time I had enough points they were out of stock.

                          caramel coloring is flavorless, just like caffeine. and i know what your thinking: "but decaf coffee is gross, caffeine MUST have flavor!"
                          no, it's flavorless. the only reason de-caffeinated coffee tastes different is because of the procedure by which they decaffeinate the beans. anyways, useless info.

                          like someone else mentioned...i think it's all mental. kind of like the colored ketchup phenomenon, it was gross because nobody liked the look of green slime all over their fries.

                            Caffeine does have a flavor, a very bitter one. Here's an article to back me up....

                            And if you do a Google check, caramel color ALSO has a bitter flavor....

                                  I was going to let this run its course, but since people keep posting in both Crystal Pepsi threads and the other one came first, I'm locking this one up. We don't need two threads on the same subject.
