...to Pepsi Blue? Where did it go? Why is it gone? Why? Why? WHY? I really liked Pepsi Blue. I loved it, more like. And now it is gone. Its actually been gone for awhile. Does anyone know why production of this wonderful beverage was halted?

It went the way of Pepsi Clear. Remember that one?

I can't believe they ran out of clear.

Running out of blue I can understand. They called up the guys at Pantone and the guys at Pantone said, "We don't know either. Yesterday it was just gone." But clear?

They spin stuff like this out every now and then and when it doesn't catch on it dies.

Anyone remember Pepsi Free? Or am I showing my age...

The only reason I remember Pepsi Free is the diner scene in Back to the Future.

I remember Pepsi Free. I also remember Crystal Tab. Now, that was a fad I wish had caught on; it was yummy, like a cinnamon soda.

Pepsi Blue caught on in the In Crowd, or, for those of you who are skeptical, my best friend and I really liked it.

My mom and I always got one 20 oz. bottle of the weird sodas just to try them.

Pepsi Blue was the only one we both absolutely hated. We had to dump over half the bottle out.

I miss Coke 2, although I doubt I could stomach it now (as I can't really stomach Coke anymore).

They had some kind of coffee flavored Pepsi (or maybe it was coke) at one time. My Grandfather bought it, he thought it was great stuff.

All I had to say was...EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

I remember that! I think it was called Pepsi-Kona or something. Made with Kona coffee. A lot of the people back in Hawai'i thought it would be great for our economy (we needed it). I guess you can tell how well it worked.

I imagine it must have tasted something like Tia Maria and coke. Only, you know, without the alcohol. Pointless really.
