pepsi & coca-cola "sparkle"

I read a pretty interesting story today in the New York Times (and no, not in Starbucks) about some new drinks by Pepsi & Coca-Cola that are fortified with vitamins and minerals. They're calling these drinks "sparkling beverages." Basically... pop on vitamins.

I have a feeling like these will tank like Pepsi Clear... anyone remember Pepsi Clear?

Oh Pepsi Clear! Why did they take it away from me?!? I loved the stuff. At least I think I did... Weren't we in elementary school when it was out? Hm...

I totally remember Pepsi Clear. That stuff was nasty! I read the same article yesterday in the Star Telegram.

Since Coke lost money recently, they are trying to woo the healthier eaters/drinkers. I still won't drink it, even if it does have minerals in it!

i remember there was 2 pepsi clears.

the 1st didn't have artificial colors and just tasted like flat pepsi...it played mind tricks with you with it's abscence of the artificial carmel color.

the 2nd pepsi clear was grapefruit flavor, a fresca-esh beverage. that one was good, but also...disappeared.
