They had a crystal Pepsi machine in my highschool. It was always sold out. I really didn't care for it.

That's awesome. I'm kinda hoping this little marketing stunt kick starts a full return of crystal pepsi, even if its a very limited run. This initial 13,000 crap is dumb.

The only problem with that is, Surge was remembered fondly before it came back out. People were asking to bring it back years before it was finally re-released. Crystal Pepsi was only looked back upon as a market failure that no one was upset about when it left.

They have a million different flavors these days anyways.  Back then, the only had a few.  Probably not a big deal to bring it back.  Wonder if it will taste the same. Not really sure if back then they used high fructose corn syrup.   I dont really remember what it tasted like though.

The only reason it kind of gained recent popularity was people drinking 20 year bottles of it on youtube.  For those that dont know, for some reason LA Beast decided to start a campaign to bring it back which surprisingly worked.

Doesn't matter.  People will buy it just to try it, so they'll have no troubles selling a relatively short, small run.

It was only available in Florida, I believe.

And no, I never tried it.

Because New Jersey.

I've  never tried it. I had tab clear once out of a swimming pool vending machine for 30p. Didn't like it.
