Crystal Hot Sauce

Now, I realize this is simply a brand name, probably inspired by the “pure” part of the slogan…but I can’t help but be reminded of the brief fad for clear products in the early 1990s. Remember Crystal Pepsi? Of course you don’t.

Saturday Night Live summed up just how unappetizing this fad really was in two words: Crystal Gravy.

Thankfully, Crystal Hot Sauce is not clear (as you can see!), and actually tasted pretty good.

Acai Berry Wheat Beer

The trend has gone too far!

Note that it’s certified organic, too…

Three Fads in One!

Acai Apple Pomegranate Granola

Okay, maybe not for granola.
