Blasting News on history of clear soft drinks

Blasting News has an article about the history of clear soft drinks that concludes with this paragraph:

Crystal Pepsi’s return is credited to Kevin Strahle, a competitive eater and You Tube star, who once worked for PepsiCo. His online campaign began after he bought a 20-year-old bottle of Crystal Pepsi, drank it on camera and proceeded to throw it all up. Will Crystal Pepsi revitalize PepsiCo’s bottom line? No one can say, and not even the crystal ball at this time, is very clear.

    Kevin Strahle has to be congratulated for succeeding in his idea. I wonder whether or not they will advertise. I do not think his YouTube “commercial” is a great selling point, but stranger things have happened in the world of competitive eating and in the media world.

    10:39 must have been busy checking supermarkets all over the Northeast. I doubt that the reason was to be able to buy Crystal Pepsi. When people make statements which seem untrue, they should tell their research methods.

    Well technically up here In Canada, I am buttcugging Crystal Pepsi through a plastic tube instead of maple syrup b/c it’s only available up here in Canada. It’s been selling out like when Crack Cocaine hit the market. August 8-October 1 in the states is all we get from Pepsi for now, until they see it sell out in the states

    The only reason you should buy that crap is to sell it and make money off it. So far it looks like a profitable venture and competition is not issue. Plenty to go around for everyone to sell especially customers that still have a hard time finding it even when it becomes available in states

    If LA Beast is a true humanitarian , then he would hand deliver a bottle or case of Crystal Pepsi to anyone that is in dire need of the product throughout the United States by foot

    At the present moment i am drinking pepsi from a bottle with real sugar and cannot stop guzzling it down after a huge corned beef sandwich on rye . My blood sugar has probably skyrocketed but i don’t care i am addicted and i will be twice as addicted once i grab a bottle of refreshing Crystal Pepsi with artificial fructose and other harmful chemicals which will eventually be responsible for my demise
