I could understand if Crystal Pepsi was released in 90 or 91, but 93 was well into the decade.
Also if I find any this August I'm definitely getting some!

How is '93 not part of "the 90's"? It definitely isn't part of the 80's like people keep claiming.

Coke actually had Holiday Spice Coke in there freestyle machines last Christmas.

If I had to guess? They have a limited memory of the first half of the decade so anything they don't remember they're assuming must have been before they were born, in the 80's.

It was like a lava lamp you could drink! The bottle was even shaped like a lava lamp.
And if we're resurrecting dead beverages, Kool-Aid needs to bring back Purplesaurus Rex.

People were just weirded out by it, though. It might fly now that more people in the West have had bubble tea.

It was an awesome drink. Then again, I like weird, kooky stuff like that. But I loved the flavor and the texture. It was always fun to catch the little floaties and squish them with my tongue.
I've always looked at the first two or three years of a decade as being transitional. For example, blues and psychedelic rock were still popular in the early 70s, and disco in the early 80s. The only exception seemed like the early-2000s because of the whole "New Millenium" hype. Crystal Pepsi was released from 1992 to 1993, with withdrawal from the market months later by the time the 90s were in full force.
Surge was definitely the poster child for a 90s fad drink, and is especially evident by the marketing from its revival. Don't be surprised if Vault or Red Fusion come back in the future, but by that time Surge and Crystal Pepsi will be gone again, and Coke still won't have sorted out the Mr. Pibb/Pibb Xtra confusion.

Daily reminder that New York Seltzer did it first.

I miss Surge. I'd love to see that come back. I've heard it's been available in limited runs in certain parts of the country, but not where I live from what I've seen.

That's gay and unrealistic. They were in full force as soon as the date started with 199.
It's not like that happens gradually. Just like you're not a little bit dead or slightly pregnant.
^Right, because somebody had a crystal ball and envisioned Crystal Pepsi on the morning of January 1, 1990. Trends tend to be spontaneous or evolutionary, and there's a degree of risk and time involved when committing to something. Pepsi learned the former the hard way, as nobody predicted a trendsetter like mass market bottled water, which made the "clear and pure" trend Pepsi bet on irreverent.

That stuff was utter shit and made wine coolers look hardcore.
Supposedly it is still being made but I haven't seen it around in years. The last I saw was those cans with caps, and apparently, some dipshit legal dispute with the company that made those cans bankrupted the company.

It's already arrived last week in Canada. My friends and I were so confused when we saw it on the shelves.
The amount of sugar in it per bottle is pretty crazy. Most bottles of soft drinks have 40 grams or so, but this stuff's got at least 63. It's like first aid for a diabetic that's dying of hunger!

It's only a touch of cancer. I'll be right as rain in a week or so.

As a 90's kid I am obligated to say that I fucking love Surge and I can't figure out why they discontinued it. Forget betting, if I had access to a time machine I'd use it to get Surge or Crystal Pepsi. And maybe a few boxes of some bacon-flavored crackers that used to exist.

Is Cheerwine even sold outside of the Upper South? I only ever see it that Virginia/North Carolina coastal plains corridor.
