The clear-colored beverage, which tasted like regular Pepsi, debuted in 1992 in a couple test markets and rolled out nationwide a year later. 

But after a couple years, it quietly disappeared from stores.

The drink might be making a comeback now thanks to an online campaign begging for its return. The campaign was launched by Kevin Strahle, who has more than 1.2 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.Strahle, known as "LA Beast" on his YouTube Channel, told Business Insider that he got a letter from Pepsi's official Twitter account on Monday:

Soon after Crystal Pepsi launched, Coca-Cola came out with its own clear cola called Tab Clear.
