Yes - it was taken off the market due to lower than expected sales. I don't recall any rumor linking it to cancer.

Initial sales were good, but they quickly fell, making the product fail to generate a profit adequate to warrant continued marketing, since many consumers did not like the taste of it while others thought it was too similar to regular Pepsi to merit sale as a separate product. Pepsi pulled the drink off the market, but returned several months later with a reformulated citrus drink and retitled "Crystal by Pepsi", but this was short lived as well.
However, Crystal Pepsi still has a small following, particularly on the Internet, where several websites have been created to honor it. Some remaining cans and bottles can be found for auction on the commercial website eBay. In late 2005, some grocery stores in Mexico started carrying "PepsiClear" which was a limited edition of a clear Pepsi.

i think it just wasn't popular. it had a kind of weird taste if i remember right.

dont remember it

I DO AND I THINK THEY TOOK IT OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SALES!

I do, for some reason it just was not selling.

i remember it and it was taken off the market because of low sales. a drink has to make money for a company or after a certain length of time it is removed from the market
