Brad Tries Crystal From Pepsi
It was Pepsi's 1994 attempt to reformulate the drink and salvage the name Crystal. But you can't change greatness.
Plus, Brian and I try out the G-Series Pro line of Gatorade made specifically for professional athletes. Featuring a guest appearance from our friends a http://www.youtube.com/chibicat13 who sent us these drinks.

Keep fighting the good fight. Maybe you and the Snob fans can get them to bring back Crystal Pepsi after all!

You'd think with all the retro love going around, AND with the success of the Throwback brand that Pepsi would take the dip and do a Crystal Pepsi, Crystal From Pepsi, Pepsi Clear whatever limited edition and make some coin off it.
PS- Also that Crystal looks like the fluid that encased the putonium in Back to the Future, probably as healthy to drink too.

I'd love to see you do a Brad Tries on Milksteak. Just make sure to some of the finest jelly beans, raw, on the side.
PS - I said it before and I'll say it again: Lloyd needs his own show!

I always felt that the consistency of the Gatorade 01 was that of melted Jello.

Brad, I hope you have a panel or booth at Anime St. Louis and record the experience because I predict said panel or booth will be surrounded by crystal pepsi signs.

How bout someone dresses up as Pepsiman and holds a sign about bringing Crystal Pepsi back?

After watching your gatorade episode I need to add a few things.
1. I ABSOLUTELY agree with Ryan in the comments above. Lloyd often seems to want in your Brad Tries episode, so I dunno have a show where you film him playing and dub a snobby inner monologue over it. Actually you could probably make that a joke in one of your snob reviews that watching that is more engaging than whatever movie you're watching.
2. Bryan is weird.
3. You said hot drinks without singing the Wendy's jingle? Shame on you!

If you do manage to get them to re-release Crystal Pepsi, you should totally do advertisements for them as 80's Dan.

Get Lloyd his own show! Love it when he just got up in front of the camera and stared into the lens, as if to say "Hi everybody!"
Reply to this
I swear that cat was talking as much as you were in this episode.

Lloyd freaking loves the camera! If I remember correctly, you once said you have more than one cat (I think two others?), but Lloyd is by far the one we see the most.
As much I would like to get behind the "Give Lloyd his own series" movement, I think the reason we love seeing Lloyd so much is because he only makes infrequent cameos in *your* shows. Giving him his own show would lessen the impact of his cameos.
I think, instead of giving him his own series, you should make a single "Lloyd Tries" episode of him trying some a few treats or drinks for cats. If that goes over well, you could always make more every few months or so, or you could make a bunch and save them for whenever you need to put a new video on the site.

When Lloyd was looking into the camera, I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure he could see into my soul.

Ahhh, ABBA ZABBA, the only candy bar to ever influence a Captain Beefheart song. I pretty much see it every day in one particular liquor store, though I can't say I've seen it anywhere else lately. It was fucking awesome, that's all I know.

I wish I had that good a memory about Crystal Pepsi as you do. The only drink I remember that they don't sell anymore (at least where I live) are Sprite flavored Icees. Those things gave me good energy while I was on the High School Wrestling Team.
So, just to remember what it tasted like, I would love to see Crystal Pepsi make a return. Next time I'm at a wrestling event, I'm gonna bring a Bring Back Crystal Pepsi sign. If it makes it on Raw or Smackdown or a PPV, even better.
Now, away from that topic...you know what I would like to see on a Brad Tries sometime? Brad Tries dnL. It's a discontinued soda made by the 7up company (the dnL logo is pretty much an upside down 7up logo), and was like an inverse 7up (caffinated, not clear, etc.) Maybe also during that episode compare 7up pre all natural flavors (make sure to get a can or bottle with Cool Spot on it!) vs. current 7up.
Just a suggestion though. Tried to find some dnL on eBay for you, but couldn't.
Anyway, keep it up. Can't wait to see more of these.

Brad...don't bother taking Airborne when you are sick. The stuff is useless

Here in the uk you can buy capri suns with a resealable tops instead of the straws, Im guessing they dont do them in the us then.

Mello Yello and Sun Drop recently hit the West Coast... so I'm certain we can get Crystal Pepsi back!

Lloyd can see into your SOUL.

clever, not putting "we" in the video description, making me watch one featuring Brian again, the most boring man on the internet...

Awesome! I had hoped that plan would pay off!

Genius also missed this part in the description: "Plus, Brian and I try out the G-Series Pro line of Gatorade made specifically for professional athletes."
Reply to this
Just let the man stew in his own cesspool of negligence, where his irrational hatred granted him the inability to read a paragraph to inform him on the video. Where as any logical person would read the description, you write it for a damn reason. It's even above the fucking video. Apparently you're going to have to make it in bold/italics and red font to catch the eye of some people.
You're awesome Brian, don't let one ignoramus cretin tell you otherwise.

the company that makes Pepsi in Iceland, Ölgerðin, has a soda water brand that is called Kristall (e. Crystal).

That cat is beautiful!

You know, I was never a big Crystal Pepsi guy. If we're going to fight to bring back a '90s soda, why not Josta? That stuff was awesome.
Reply to this
What's wrong with Brian? I like Brian!
Anyway, I'd love to get Crystal Pepsi over here in the UK so I could try that shit out for myself. They'd probably screw it up somehow though. For some reason Mountain Dew over here is marketed as an energy drink and is loaded up with caffeine. I like Mountain Dew but I could do without a shit ton of caffeine every time I want to drink one.

Part of the reason I love this series is the random Lloyd appearances. This episode did not disappoint.
Also, Brian is cool. I like his style.
Reply to this
Your show oneeds more Lloyd. Everybody loves him!
Reply to this
Lloyd sounds just like my (blue-point) Sapphire to the point where I thought she was yelling at me from the bathroom when he meowed at you early on. Then I got the Look of Death from her because I woke her up asking WTF she wanted, when she was asleep on the back of the sofa.
And such a handsome cat he is! I love that he decides he needs to be in the videos and that you let him.
Reply to this
What's the name of the other cat on your show!?
Reply to this
I think Lloyd wants his own show
Reply to this
Does it ever bother anyone else that whenever Brad tries a drink he only takes tiny little sips? You gotta get up in there, man. DRINK THAT SHIT.
Reply to this
you should try to find Orbitz drink... that thing was gross in 1998... i guess it's still awful today XD

I've been trying to get him to try that stuff since I started watching this series! But, I actually Liked the drink when it 1st came out, but it might have been more for the navelty of the drink!
Reply to this
Okay so, I made a "Bring Back Crystal Pepsi" sign to bring to MegaCon (the biggest convention in the South East) and everyone LOVED it. So many people who saw it said they wished it would come back, so keep the dream alive.

You know. since your talking about this drink which was around the 1990's drink era. Anyways. There was another drink made around that year it was called Orbits soft drink. I think you should snag some off of ebay and give it a go. I havnt seen you try it yet. Perhaps you would like to induldge in a fan's request?
Reply to this
I've been bothering him to try this for over 3-4 months now! I even given them links to multiple auctions or lots of Obittz with no reply or confermation that he'll do it!

Brad have you tried mixing different pepsi products together to recreate the taste of crystal pepsi? Like Sierra Mist and Pepsi? Just thought i'd ask

Yeah... weird one... I thought maybe they brought it back or something... not sure if I actually had this one or not... barely remember either one... very confusing... I also can't recall every seeing any of the G-line pouches anywhere... I like the episodes with Brain a lot by the way, he's a good co-(host)/sidekick.
Where the hell are chibicat and her friends from? They sound like Welsh/Russian immigrants. LOL. Not is a bad way though... They cool...
