In Loving Memory of my Beloved Crystal Pepsi 

Crystal Pepsi 1992

UPDATE! If you liked Crystal Pepsi, go to kathi.rosafort@pepsi.com and ask that they bring it back! (But be nice; corporate people don't listen to hate mail!) This one is interesting. Only about nine seconds are fully dedicated to showing the actual product, whilst the rest of the commercial has rhinos, naked babies and clocks.
