Has Crystal Pepsi returned in 2017?
EDIT 1/14/17: On Twitter, Pepsi said that Crystal Pepsi is back, so yeah.
EDIT 1/22/17: I just bought some today. It's back for a limited time.
This is my first post about something not related to Mountain Dew.
​
Crystal Pepsi, an odd but popular soda. It was first released in 1992 with a great following among fans. It was discontinued in 1993 because of poor sales at the end of its life, but another reason is from Coca-Cola releasing Tab Clear, a "kamikaze" drink that was advertised having 0 sugar. Consumers then mistook Crystal Pepsi of being a no sugar, diet soda. The final batches of Crystal Pepsi was distributed in early 1994. 19 years later in December 2015, fans of the beverage were given the chance of finally drinking it again. Along with the Mountain Dew Pitch Black sweepstakes, a similar Crystal Pepsi one was started. 13,000 six-packs of the soda were distributed to the winners; my friends dad won a pack. In 2016, Canada and the United States were given Crystal Pepsi once again the stores, now containing Caffeine and sodium benzoate. That promotion started in August and ended in October. The month we thought it was discontinued, Pepsi re-released the drink for a limited time exclusively for the Prime Pantry service on Amazon, I quickly got a pack of the drink when it was released.
​
So that was the whole current history of Crystal Pepsi, but what about the future? On Wikipedia, it says under the Revival and re-releases section that "On November 1, 2016, Pepsi announced that the drink would be making a third return for 2017." Now it's Wikipedia and I know that anyone can edit the page, but it's been there for 2 days now. I haven't found proof of that online, except for Youtube. Avery Heaney TV, Joshua Jerry Pheneuf Planet, and several other Youtubers have found the soda once again in 2017. So is it back? I have no clue... In my area I have not seen it, but I will believe these rumors once I see it again in a store. Until then, I still have 3 more bottles of it left, I'll drink 1 or 2 and then save the rest.

Thank you for reading, more posts on the way.
fun fact: While typing this I was drinking Mountain Dew Black Label. Do you think it's discontinued?
