They're still the same cola flavor, but without the caramel color your mind wanders hard as fuck trying to place the taste. That said it's mostly a gimmick. No reason to drink it over regular stuff.

It's soda. It's all junk and I avoid it except sometimes when I eat out. But it's not junk because the sugar comes from corn. It's junk because there's so much sugar at all.

Corn syrup is the cheapest sweetener in the history of humanity. Regardless of whether you like the taste or not, avoiding stuff with corn syrup is a pretty good life rule to avoid eating crap made to cater to the absolute bottom of the barrel of shit taste. It's like suiting - some very fine suits have viscose liners, there is nothing inherently wrong with synthetics, but if you see a suit with 47% polyester fibers it is GUARANTEED to be junk.

>so what did they taste like?

It tastes like a store brand version of sprite (like faygo) with a horrible cloying amount of cinnamon up front, and an indistinguishable aftertaste that tastes a little chemically (we now know real natural cinnamon oil isn't meant to be consumed like crazy). It tastes like a mistake at the soda fountain machine where some 8 year old thought it was funny to hit all the buttons to make his Big Gulp unique.

I am old. I remember the original Crystal Pepsi, and I think it was only a niche of people who liked it back then too. I didn't love it, it was just interestingly enough similar to pepsi caramelly spiced soda flavor to make you want to try it, maybe twice. Mind you, back then? There were few choices of caffeinated beverages that didn't turn your teeth colors so I'm sure caffeine addicts might have really latched onto that fact. Today? We have energy drinks that are mildly colored and only as sweetened with empty calories about half of that of sodas, so the choice is "clear" pun intended, that if it's not as delicious as the original Crystal Pepsi, there's no point in an inferior second version.

Jokes aside:
Good shit, OP, tried Crystal Pepsi for the first time ever last year when they brought it back, and it instantly became one of my favorites- I started hoarding about a half a dozen bottles at a time for my own personal consumption, but good on you for saving up that many to either drink at your leisure, or sell off to desperate hipsters and foreigners

The problem with corn syrup is that it allows for making things sweeter than sugar can, and they almost always do make it that sweet. Sugar sodas are already way too sweet as is more often than not, hfcs ones way moreso.

>> No.8706682

>>8705162
For the record it mostly tastes like a smoother version of a regular Pepsi, but with that same crisp feeling you'd normally get from a Sprite.

>> No.8706875

>>8705220

There is pretty clearly a taste difference between typical sugar sodas and HFCS sodas. I don't know if that's attributable to the different trace products left from the different methods of sugar extraction, or maybe leftover taste-carrying chemicals from the corn, or what. I have no idea.

But my man, I tell you, I prefer the taste of sugar. I'll take Mexicoke over American Coke any day.

What happened? Did they take it off the shelves AGAIN? This shit was readily available for like 3 months last year and they SAID "oh we're bringing it back for good this time!" but now I can't find it anywhere, what the shit.

The difference is fructose and glucose vs just sucrose. Sucrose gets broken down into glucose and fructose by the digestive system, but tastes less sweet on the tongue.
