Diet Pepsi MAX

I don't like the name:
Diet Pepsi MAX

PURCHASE, N.Y. - February 22, 2007 - Today, Pepsi-Cola North America announced plans to launch Diet Pepsi MAX, an invigorating zero-calorie cola with extra caffeine and a touch of ginseng. This formulation is specially designed for adults to get them through the day. The product, which received high scores in consumer testing, hits stores nationwide in June.

Diet Pepsi MAX is for 25-34 year-old diet drinkers, as well as transitioners-- those making the switch from regular colas to diets. Nearly 80% of adult consumers say that maintaining energy is a top priority and nearly 60% find that there's not enough time in the day to do the things they need to do. Diet Pepsi MAX serves up the invigoration they're looking for in a familiar, great-tasting beverage - a zero-calorie diet cola.

In other words if you are afraid that soda makes you fat this is your drink.

I stick with a few cups of coffee for my caffeine lift. Sweet drinks in the morning are not a joy for me.

Fact is, I rarely drink sodas anymore. Lost the taste for them, I guess. Does that mean I've finally grown up, or that I'm just getting old?

I vote for getting old. ;)

My favorite ever pepsi was "pepsi generation x." This is because while translating the slogan into Japanese they accidentally made the claim that "Pepsi will bring your dead ancestors back to life."

Awesome.

If they could make a diet sweetener that didn't taste like I'm drinking my old chemistry set, I would try it.

They've had Pepsi Max in Canada for at least 10 years now.

I didn't think it had been as many months away from here as it has clearly been. I was certain I had updated this place in December and ...
