Clearly Canadian’s Triumphant Comeback Hits a Snag, and Fans Are Upset

Last year, the world learned about the imminent return of Clearly Canadian, the ‘90s-era clear soft drink that was known as something of an anti-soda. Appropriately, the world freaked out, and people signed up in droves for the crowdfunding campaign that promised, if all went well, to finally return bottles to store shelves. However, getting the mountain-blackberry-flavored bubbles into those bottles has been a more difficult task than first imagined by the brand’s new owners, including chairman and CEO Robert R. Khan, and people are wondering where the product actually is. The good news: It’s now on its way, albeit at more of a trickle than fans might like.

When the company first announced the planned comeback, the owners said they would start production after receiving 25,000 orders. On March 18 of last year, they announced the goal was met. Fans got excited. But several target dates for shipping were missed. Indiegogo-ers who contributed to the campaign were initially told to expect their goods in September, but the month ended with no Wild Cherry in sight. An October email to crowdfunders promised bottles would arrive in mid-November "barring any delays." More holdups did indeed follow, and as of the beginning of this month fans were told that the first shipments would go out February 8 "at the latest." Needless to say, the continued delays tested the patience of some of the crowdfunders, who took to the Facebook page to express their discontent.
