A
fake product advertised in a
fake commercial on
Saturday Night Live on
October 2, 1993. The complete
script is at http://snltranscripts.jt.org/scripts/93bcrystalgravy.phtml. I won't quote it here, but the basic idea was a
reaction to the flood of
clear foodstuffs saturating the
market in the
early 90's. The idea was that
clear was pure and better for you somehow. So
crystal gravy was shown being poured over
meat and
mashed potatoes and one of those
tacky voiceovers was saying things like, "
Finally You Can See Your Meat" and ranting about how good something that you eat AND is
clear must be.
I think it was shortly after this that Crystal Pepsi stopped being made, and in general, I think this was the beginning of the end of the clear products movement.
