Pepsi Zero Sugar[edit | edit source]

Pepsi Zero Sugar, formerly known as Pepsi Max, is a zero-calorie, sugar-free, carbohydrate-free, ginseng-infused cola beverage by PepsiCo. It was first introduced in the United Kingdom and Italy in April 1993. The United States saw its introduction in 2007.

History[edit | edit source]

Pepsi Zero Sugar was first introduced as Pepsi Max in the United Kingdom and Italy in 1993. The aim was to compete with Coca-Cola Zero, another zero-calorie drink. In 2007, PepsiCo decided to launch the product in the United States. However, the product was rebranded as Pepsi Zero Sugar in 2016.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The primary ingredients of Pepsi Zero Sugar are carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, aspartame, potassium benzoate, caffeine, natural flavor, acesulfame potassium, citric acid, and calcium disodium EDTA. It also contains trace amounts of ginseng.

Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]

Pepsi Zero Sugar, as the name suggests, contains zero grams of sugar. It also has zero calories, making it a popular choice for those watching their calorie intake. It does, however, contain 69 milligrams of caffeine per 355ml can, which is slightly more than a regular can of Pepsi.

Reception[edit | edit source]

Pepsi Zero Sugar has been well received by consumers, particularly those looking for a sugar-free alternative to regular cola drinks. It has also been praised for its taste, which many consumers believe is closer to regular Pepsi than other diet colas.
