Is Crystal Pepsi or Pepsi Clear Still Produced and Sold?

I have been looking all over the internet for an answer to this question. I found an old website showing a contest for a case of Pepsi Clear.

http://promociones.esmas.com/pepsiclear/
The wikipedia article doesn't suggest if it is still made.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Pepsi

It was my favorite soda as a child and I would love to locate it and perhaps order a case if possible. If you have instructions on how to do that it would be greatly appreciated.

Is it still sold in convenience stores in Mexico?

There's good news, and bad news . . .

The bad news: Although it was only in production from 1992 to 1993, there is an online petition you can sign to help "Bring Back Crystal Pepsi" for those who really liked it!

The good news . . . ? There seems to be a guy selling a 6-pack of Crystal Pepsi online for the low price of only $234.99! Wow, what a deal, right?!!

Who knows, maybe I've got the good/bad part backwards, I can't tell.

No, it's no longer sold or made because sales were not that good for Pepsi. Crystal Pepsi was a caffeine-free soda made by PepsiCo from 1992 to 1993 in the United States, Canada, and for a short time in Australia. Crystal Pepsi was sold for a longer time in Europe.

Initial sales were good, but quickly fell. Pepsi pulled the drink off the market, and returned several months later with a reformulated citrus drink titled "Crystal From Pepsi", but this was short lived as well. In 2005, Crystal Pepsi was sold in Mexico as "PepsiClear" for a limited time.

No - it only lasted from 1992 to 1993, and was brought back (briefly) in 2005 in Mexico.

In 1992, Pepsi tried to jump on a fitness bandwagon and introduced Crystal Pepsi to the masses. They wanted people to think that because it was “clear,” it was healthier. I don’t blame pepsi for thinking this though… This was the same time that soap and cleaning products were also introduced in “clear form.” I guess you can say there was a Clear-Craze… or something.

The best part about crystal pepsi is, it confused the consumer. Drinkers who enjoyed a “Cola” would obviously buy a dark product. People who prefer Un-Cola would obviously buy a clear product (7-up, Sprite, etc.) So Crystal Pepsi didn’t appeal to anyone…

And that's why they don't produce Crystal Pepsi anymore!

Unfortunately there is no longer a market for Crystal Pepsi, seeing that it's final days on the market were in 1995.  However, you can still find varieties for sale via Ebay!

Also if it truely is something you are adamant about bringing back, fill out A Petition to Bring Back Pepsi Clear.  Given PepsiCo's new throwback models of Pepsi and Mountain Dew using the 70's recipe with real cane sugar,  this might be your opportunity to get a throwback Crystal?
