This might sound like a dumb question, but what would be the best environment to store a stash of a soda that is being phased out? (AKA Pepsi Blue and SoBe Mr. Green) I assume it would be a cool, dark place like a basement. Would refrigeration make it last any longer? I know soda doesn't last too long, but I would like to be able to drink my Pepsi Blue as long as possible.

Drink before a year because if it is in cans they may start leaking by then.

I keep mine in the basement. A cool, dry place. It seems to last well over a year. Though I shudder to admit the fact that it is in those nasty glass bottles. Hey, what can I say. I am a traitor to my own cause!

But what about those people who buy bottles of Crystal Pepsi ten years out of date off of eBay just to drink it one last time? That can't be good for you....

dude, it ain't good for you, and i highly doubt they take more than one sip. i've got plenty of full 20oz from like 1992 when they switched from straightsided to contour bottles but i wouldn't touch em
