Crystal Pepsi: not safe for life. Back in the early 1990s, when “clarity” was all the rage, Pepsi came up with the wise idea to make a translucent soda, because the future, man. It was dubbed Crystal Pepsi and marketed with the tagline, “You’ve never seen a taste like this.” That’s not untrue — less than a year after its debut, Crystal Pepsi was pulled from the markets, never to be seen again, except on late-night The Arsenio Hall Show repeats.
And on eBay, which is where “L.A. BEAST” recently purchased a bottle for $80. Why? Science, man. Also, because he wanted to try some two decade old soda (NOT pop, SODA). The results are not pretty.

I could have told you this 20 years ago
bwahahaha that was the perfect response
This is what I wish upon everyone wearing a “swag” sweatshirt
a swag t-shirt OVER a hoody
when he looks like he’s 35
not appropriate at any age… and what’s wrong with being 35, huh?
He normally drinks vinegar and water.
What is this human being wearing?
I loved Crystal Pepsi. The original version, not that citrus crap they changed it to.
But the only drink I would pay $80 for is an Ecto Cooler.
Cactus Cooler > Ecto Cooler
Welcome to the future.
You can make Ecto Cooler: [www.uproxx.com]
I just live with the Orange Lava-Burst…it’s alright.
Orbitz…… I don’t know why but I loved that shit. And I hate Bubble Tea…
My wife makes a great pitcher of Ecto Cooler. Tastes just like I remember it. Apparently takes a lot of tangerine.
OK Cola was the best soft drink ever. I still make it whenever I’m at a fountain that has Coke and Orange Soda.
The Ecto Cooler recipe is legit as close to the real thing as I’ve ever had.
this story is happening again in 19 1/2 years with a twinkie
Twinkies hold up.
All that swaggerific layering makes it look like this dude had his head shrunk.
Fuck off with your “Soda NOT POP” garbage, Kurp. We are in the year 2013, Soda vs Pop has been done to death, lets all move on.
Fuck off with your caring that much, maybe?
And both are wrong. It’s Coke.
Is this that same moron that lost a toe butter pranking himself?
I prefer Crystal Gravy. [www.hulu.com]
Yes!
SWAGGY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“The results are not pretty.”
But they are pretty clear.
Wait, so he waits around at the kitchen table, or wherever, for a solid minute and a half instead of going to the bathroom to puke? What a dipshit.
He is wearing a “swag” shirt and calls himself L.A. Beast. He (pepsi) clearly makes some questionable choices in life.
Puking was staged. If, by chance, the 20 yr old CP did not induce vomiting, the off-camera moments would allow Sir DoucheSwag to imbibe some ipecac to induce vomiting.
/heh heh, Sir DoucheSwag…
“Not that I know what that smells like!”
Thanks for the qualifier, dipshit.
@MickTravis4Life I was thinking the exact same thing
I don’t know if I’ve ever been more happy seeing someone puke.
Can someone sponsor an entire web series of making this dildo throwing up?
old man nutsac and syrup.
Pepsi should bring this product back immediately based on this video alone.
My husband just laughed until he cried…. what is this joy we get from watching other people loose control of their bodily fluids?
My husband paid a guy he found on the internet $250 for a box of Surge fountain syrup that he has entirely no idea how to extract from said box. So, yeah.
He’d still never do some asshole thing like wear a “SWAG” t-shirt over a sweatshirt, though.
I swear I could hear tortured souls escaping from that bottle when he opened it.
Man I’ll bet that guy hasn’t felt like that since the time at the frat party when he gave, like, 19 blowjobs.
OK, so I just watched this, and call bullshit. This dude clearly was furiously gagging himself off camera during that cut away, thinking his hapless vomiting prowess would quickly skyrocket him to YouTube fame and a spot on Tosh 2.0.
Gagging himself? Ipecac is cheap and easy.
I hope you were not speaking from bulimic experience. My 2nd ex-wife had that and it was some sick fucking shit.
Ironically, it gave her incredible control of her gag reflex and the ability to give the best head on the planet.
As much as bulimia sounds like the most glamorous diet ever, I strangely hate throwing up more than anything in the world so sadly I just wouldn’t have the wherewithal to commit.
And I don’t know what ipecac is, but if it makes you vomit than maybe he took that. All I know is that this guy is a giant douche faker.
This couldn’t have happened to a better person
It kinda smells like an old man’s nutsa… an old man’s nutsack
Zack Morris has hit hard times.
Slow news day.
all in the name of SWAGSWAGSWAGSWAG
#SwagGag
There was also Pepsi Clear
Where was the homeless hitchiker with the hatchet?..Smash Smash SMAAAASH him right when he said awesome for the last time.
What he’s drinking there is Pop… that is all
If dressing like Mark Wahlberg circa 1990 didn’t protect him, nothing will.
So that douche paid $80 just to puke? What does he think this is? Six Flags?
This guy is one derp away from being my college roomate. Not a compliment.
well that was $80 well spent. since traditional caramel color is no longer fda approved and it’s replacement is more expensive so why not crystal pepsi 2.0 (i guarantee that’s what they’ll call it)?
Quick, put it back in the bottle and sell it to some idiot for $80!
$81. You have to make a profit!
It’s POP. Called more pop in more places in America than Soda. Cali calls it Soda, but they don’t matter.
Maybe in more places, but not by more people. Cali + east coast. Pop sounds dumb
Guys it’s not nice to make fun of people with obvious brain damage
