I actually drank one during its original run. It tasted like regular Pepsi which is probably why it didnt draw dimes. Never had a New Coke though.

The whole reason they made it in the 90's was to capitalize on the "clear craze" and New Age trend.
>During the same year that Crystal Pepsi was released, several other manufacturers also released colorless versions of their existing products, such as colorless Palmolive dish soap, colorless Softsoap liquid soap, and colorless Rembrandt mouthwash. Even the Miller Brewing Company released a colorless beer, called Miller Clear, in Richmond, Minneapolis, and Austin the following year.

>probably why it didn't draw dimes
It drew well until Coke sabotaged them with a deliberately made shitty clear cola alternative
>Crystal Pepsi was launched in 1992 with a huge marketing campaign and to great success, capturing a 1% soft drink market share worth US$474 million in its first year (equivalent to $1000 million in 2023). According to Coca-Cola's chief marketing officer, Sergio Zyman, Tab Clear was released at the same time, as an intentional "kamikaze" effort to create an unpopular beverage that was positioned as an analogue of Crystal Pepsi to "kill both in the process". The "born to die" strategy included using the poor-performing Tab brand rather than Coke, labeling the product as a "sugar free" diet drink to confuse consumers into thinking Crystal Pepsi had no sugar, and marketing the product as if it were "medicinal". Zyman said "Pepsi spent an enormous amount of money on the brand and, regardless, we killed it. Both of them were dead within six months."

I appreciate your research and Ill take the Coke execs words at face value. But if I was a betting man Id say it just sounds like Coke disinfo from a shitty exec who wanted to pretend he ever did any carny shit in the fizzy drink business. I dont even remember Tab Clear or any ads for it. If I was a schizo Id accuse you of coming from an altetnate timeline.

Do you remember ads for regular tab, lol? That was point, they didn't want to take an actual chance on clear cola (even though Pepsi made a billy on it in the first year) so they decided to make it lame instead, and what better way to make a new soda lame than attaching fucking Tab to it

That's exactly what the marketing director said lmao. It was a kamikaze cola meant to make all clear sodas uncool and return things to the status quo. It served its purpose.

You're right for the most part but there were two things separating them. Crystal Pepsi is caffeine free and a lot of consumers found it to be noticeably less acidic with the removal of caramel coloring

Crystal Pepsi is good. There's no reason for soda to have color.
