I just changed "clear-colored" to simply "clear." Perhaps I'm being a bit too picky, but clear isn't a color where I come from. Maybe someone could do further research which may warrant a description such as transparent or translucent or whatever.Gabenowicki 02:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

"Clear" on its own is a bit ambiguous. "Clear-colored" doesn't sound right either. Somewhere in the article is a reference to "color-less" sodas - how about that? Rd232 ^talk 08:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Just a note on why this failed, from my experience (on a short detour from working on New Coke). I remember shortly after rollout, a lot of the supermarket chains started putting their own clear colas out (it couldn't have been that hard to just leave the caramel coloring out of the syrup). Not all of these tasted so good (I remember in upstate New York, the word got out pretty quickly to avoid Wegman's Diet Clear Cola). Crystal Pepsi had all the brand awareness, however, and took the flack for these tasteless imitations. Any research out there on this question? Daniel Case 17:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Here's my experience: Crystal Pepsi was priced as a premium brand, never on sale for the price I could get regular Pepsi at. Anyone else experience that? Any research that could be worth including in the article? --Keeves 03:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
