Was anyone else in a test market for Pepsi Kona in the mid-1990s? It was right after all the rage of "Crystal Soda" and all that and was absolutely nuts. It was a coffee flavored version of pepsi. I never had it, but with that much caffeine, I'm sure it would be loved!

Someone should test market this kind of stuff in SL to stop big companies from making themselves look REALLY stoopid.

Do they still make Crystal Pepsi? If they don't make Crystal Pepsi or Pepsi Kona any more, can we create them in world without fear of trademark or copyright infringement? Just wondering! :-)

You say that now, but you have no idea the miserable tragedy it will bring upon you.

I'm not sure if they're marketing this everywhere yet, but I kinda like this coffee-flavored Coke: http://www.coca-colablak.com/us/index.jsp

When I first read this, I read: "Bring back Pepsi, Kona!"

As if Kona Linden didn't have enough to do already... ;)

Yeah, I do. Has to be really cold, though -- disgusting warm. The teensy little bottles annoy me, and it's overpriced, or I would buy it more often.

(Back closer to topic) Coke has their own 3D avatar chat thingie, but I've never seen them use it for test marketing, only for building brand loyalty & etc.
