One of the biggest flops in the history of American beverages may be making its way back to your local supermarket.
And we couldn’t be more excited!
Kevin Strahle, a YouTube user who went viral in 2013 for posting a video of him downing a 20-year old bottle of Crystal Pepsi, has been hard at work to get the drink back on shelves across the country.
He and other enthusiasts have signed a Change.org petition… created a Facebook page… emailed the soda company’s CEO… and even put up billboards promoting their #BringBackCrystalPepsi campaign.
Might all this effort actually soon pay off?!?
This week, the group was rewarded with a letter from Pepsi, which Strahle tweeted on June 8 and which reads in part:
"Your love for Pepsi is clear – crystal clear. The passion you’ve shown for Crystal Pepsi is unmatched, and we love it!"
The message concluded: "We definitely hear you and your followers and we think you’ll all be happy with what’s in store."
Pepsi has since confirmed to NBC News that the letter is real, saying:
"We take customer feedback very seriously and we do think Crystal Pepsi fans will be happy with what we have planned."
Between this and Bud Light apologizing for sounding pro-rape, maybe beverage companies really do listen to their customers.
