I have never heard of Pepsi Kona...maybe it was a test in your market? I hated Crystal Pepsi and wasn't that fond of Jolt either.

Yes, I believe that one was around from 1992 to about 1995 or so. I couldn't drink it from 1993 to '95, though, since that's when I had braces. As I recall, it was ok.
When did they stop making it?

1996 I think. I really thought it lacked a cola taste.

Okay, this is for all those companys out there wanting a fool-proof way to test market their products. Give 'em to me, ask me what I think and when I say "delicious, wonderfull" HALT ALL PRODUCTION OF THAT PRODUCT. I loved diet CP 'til they started pasteurizing it breaking down the aspartame and ruining the flavor. I loved Miller Clear. It was a lighter refreshing summer beer. Bring back Crystal pepsi!! I had 3 friends who should have been able to keep the market afloat......CP was their favorite mix for whiskey.
God lyk!

Diet Coke!!! !Dios mio! I can drink only 'bout 1/4 of a can. Once it starts getting warm, I find it unpalatable. I know lots of people that like it though. I like a soda that you can drink warm, in case I forget to stock the fridge. Diet Mountain Dew fits the bill.

OK, I remember a Mountain Dew-ish soda named "Surge" and I think it was put out by Coke. But the soda i look fondly upon was an off brand we used to get up in upstate NY called "Adirondack Cola."
I have many a fond childhood memory with a picture of their label in my head. All you Upstate people... Holla! (lol, I don't really talk like that)
I also remember a product endorsed by Richard Lewis, and it was a juice box for adults called "Boku." They made terrible commercials for it.

I'm not a fan of any sort of Pepsi. Ick.
I remember a skit they did on SNL that was a spoof of the Crystal Pepsi commercials that featured the song "Right Now" by Van Halen. Instead of Pepsi, it was for Crystal GRAVY. Very funny stuff! I still think of that parody every time I hear "Right Now."

Well if you still want "Adirondack Cola" you might want to head to Price Chopper and pick up some of their cola. It is bottled by the same company and has the same taste as Adirondack Cola. Adirondack Cola is still sold, its just not sold in as many places as it used to be. http://www.adirondackbeverages.com/

I remember Surge from 1996 or so, I don't think it's around anymore. I tried it once, even though around then, I decided to lower my intake of soda.
I remember seeing a CD with its picture of it(as a promotional thing), lying on the sidewalk by the mall near my high school, and since I didn't want to see it go to waste, I thought I'd pick it up and take it home with me... don't know why. Guess you could say I "adopted" it :P . The first song was the best one, but the rest of the CD was tacky, even downright weird on some occasions.
