The meteoric rise and mysterious disappearance of a 1990s cult favorite
In short: In the early 1990s, Clearly Canadian was a cultural phenomenon that practically invented the sparkling water market. This video explores how a brand with a massive following and iconic branding managed to vanish almost entirely within a decade.
The brand became a sensation in 1992, fueled by a cult following and high-profile appearances on shows like Seinfeld. It was distinguished by its unique baseball-shaped bottle and was considered years ahead of its competition.
Despite its early dominance, the brand faced a beverage industry shake-up that led to its disappearance by the early 2000s. The video examines the brand's history, including failed attempts at comebacks and an unexpected celebrity connection.
