Crystal Pepsi returns August 8th

[Deleted]

I don't remember ever drinking it.

But it was in the 90's. So it must have been great.

[Jester Joe]

Go ahead and enjoy your inferior drinks and celebrate the return of another Pepsi variant.

Dr. Pepper is the one true soda, and they need to bring back their crowning achievement: Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.

Behead those who insult Pepper

Dr. Pepper is the nectar of the gods.

Steins;Gate told me so.

But I've always have and will love Dr. Pepper the most.

Best regular soda, best flavor variants and the best diet version bar none. Coke is a close second with Pepsi being garbo tier but I'll still try this out of curiosity

I just started it and it pleases me how integral it is to the story

I'd put A&W in second I think. Dr. Pepper>A&W>Coke>anything else.
Holy trinity of sodas

A&W is pretty good, better than Pepsi for sure but maaaan I really got to be in a particular mood to enjoy root beer. Somedays it's the best thing ever, others the overwhelming sweetness just nauseates me. You still need to force me at gunpoint to drink that dirty mop water that is Pepsi

I agree, although usually when I try saying Diet Dr.Pepper is good, I get attacked I try explaining that I don't consider it a diet alternative, but it's own flavor.

It was called Dr. People I believe in the game, just as a fun tidbit, but the anime did change it.

They had tons of things dodging the copyrights though, like Starbucks but with a different name.

Kinda getting off topic I guess though, I still will hunt down Crystal Pepsi and try it finally, although I hope it isn't extremely hard to find.

I pretty much only drink Diet Dr.Pepper if I'm on a binge for soda but sometimes I get cravings for the regular. Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi I understand the hate... (Don't hate Diet Coke though) but Diet Dr. Pepper has it's own unique and sweet taste with no after taste unlike Coke

It's great that Crystal Pepsi will be hitting store shelves again but apparently it's only going to be a limited 8 week run which will encourage people to buy them up and sell them on eBay for an inflated price.

It will be Pepsi Pass promotion all over again.

You would think someone who felt so strongly would know it's "DR" Pepper and not "Dr." Pepper...

Actually we are both wrong. It's not DR or Dr., it's Dr

There's always that one guy though that always has to find the negative in every situation.

I capitalized both letters on purpose for pronunciation purposes.

That's not a pronunciation problem, though.
Unless you are implying you are supposed to say DUR Pepper, because the only pronunciation of Dr I know is "doctor"

[IIamaKing]

Never had it. Can you relate it's flavour to anything?

Bad, I can relate it to other bad tasting things.

Or merely handing out a tip.

[Rad1um]

It was AMAZING! It was a novelty item. Anyone who says it taste bad either never had it or doesn't remember it taste EXACTLY the same as regular pepsi.

Time to bust out my 90's starter pack

Won't rest until Pepsi blue is back.

You'll never see that come back, the sales on it were so miserable they were having entire truckloads go out of date. I worked for Pepsi when that was launched and they put tons of money behind promotional material for it and purchased floor space in major grocery chains across the country and it was just a flop of epic proportions. They couldn't give that stuff away at the end it was so bad.

See how you pronounced Dr without the period as doctor? That's what I was trying to prevent.

"The period (full stop) after "Dr" was discarded for stylistic and legibility reasons in the 1950s. Dr Pepper's logo was redesigned and the text in this new logo was slanted. The period made "Dr." look like "Di:". After having been used intermittently in previous logos, followed by some debate, the period was removed permanently."

Are you trying to say the soda is called "Dee are Pepper"? Because I'm pretty positive that's not true.

Another quote from Dr Pepper historians (stupidest thing I've ever said)
"Morrison is credited with naming the drink "Dr. Pepper" (the period was dropped in the 1950s). Unfortunately, the origin for the name is unclear. The Museum has collected over a dozen different stories on how the drink became known as Dr Pepper."

I'm almost positive the pronunciation of the name didn't change after the period was dropped

Pretty sure I still have my pogs up in my parents attic.
