Title: No Pepsi Max in U.S.... ??

What's this I hear about Pepsi Max not being allowed in U.S. ??
It's by far the best sugar free soda on the market..

They say U.S. got Pepsi One instead of Pepsi Max, which is a different formula.
Anybody tasted both, and can tell the difference ?

Pepsi Max contains Aspartame and Acesulfame K, as the original Pepsi One did. Now though it recently changed, Pepsi One contains Splenda (a sugar based sweetener)...PeACe

Pepsi Max in the US is called Pepsi One

It's not the same, they're based on different formulas, but marketed in a similar fashion.
Different sweeteners gives different taste.

Apparently, the Canadians had their own version of Pepsi Max, with 2/3 fewer calories than regular Pepsi.

This is interesting reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pepsi_types  8)

Pepsi Max is horrible, sugar free drinks are for faggots.

Or for people who's doing sports.  ::)
Pepsi Max taste better than 99% of regular sugar sodas.

none of these sodas are sugar free. i swear to god, i looked at this sugar free Coca Cola and on the side it said "sugar added" lol. i´ve seen the same with Sprite,Fanta,Pepsi and it´s funny as hell.

^^ There's no such thing as "Sugar free soda with sugar", LOL.  :D
There's a difference between "Low calorie soda" and sugar free soda, some is marketed as "light" when there's only a little sugar added.
Pepsi Max is sweetened by aspartame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame), not sugar.


Pepsi Max contains 0.3 calories pr. 100ml, vs. Coca Colas 42 calories per 100ml.

How does a sugary drink minimise someones ability to participate in a sport?

All these "diet" etc. drinks taste horrible (if you can even say they taste at all), they are like supermarket brand colas and taste flat.

The worst yet is that Coca Cola Zero which is basically Diet Coke, it's being marketed to men because they know men are too embarrassed to buy Diet Coke because it's looked upon as a ladies drink.

I'll stick to Irn Bru 8)

Coke Zero tastes like fucking bong water.

Pepsi Max is the only 'diet' drink which tastes of anything decent at all.

It doesn't, but drinking something with 42 calories pr. 100ml obviously isn't too smart if you're serious about sports or working out, especially not in high quantities.
That's 630 calories in a 1.5L bottle.

We don't have CC Zero over here, and we don't even use the "Diet" word, we use "light" instead.
Diet sounds kinda womanish, yeah.

There's a new Coke & Pepsi out every few months, I can't keep track of all the new ones.  We had Cherry Coke, then we Had Vanilla Coke, now we have Black Cherry Vanilla Coke.  We had Vanilla Pepsi for a while, then we had Lime Pepsi for a while. 

I stay the fuck away from Diet and Sugar Free sodas tho.  I don't want cancer.  How the fuck can a soda have 1 or no calories?

OK fair enough, personally I don't give a shit about calories and all that bullshit and I am willing to take the extra calories that come with the superior taste of none diet/light etc. drinks.

Oh man, you need to read up on the sugar industry, they're just as mafia as the tobacco industry.
Every time they discover/develop a sweetener that is sweeter, or better than sugar, and containing less (or no) calories than sugar, the new sweetener either gets banned by politicians "advised" by sugar industry lobbyists, or they produce some rumours that the new sweetener can lead to cancer, abort, sterility, or some other disease. They don't even need to prove or justify it, a rumour is enough, or some "research report" paid by you know who. The sugar industry puts money in so many million peoples pockets, that they can't risk some new sweetener taking over the market. Pepsi co. & Coca-Cola co. want new sweeteners to get the best sugar free sodas, and has been fighting with the governments around the world, but at the same time, they don't want to step on the sugar industry toes, because they're dependent on them for their headline sodas.
Why you think so many sweeteners gets banned in U.S... think about it.
