Diet Pepsi Max: With More Caffeine
PepsiCo is launching a new drink in June: Diet Pepsi Max. The drink will have about one-third more caffeine than Diet Mountain Dew.
Diet Mountain Dew has 55mg caffeine per 12oz – so we’re talking around 75mg caffeine – which is very similar to Mountain Dew Amp.
The drink, Diet Pepsi Max is geared toward consumers ages 25 to 34 who like the buzz of drinks like PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew, but are starting to become more concerned about their weight, the spokesman said (from MSNBC).
Speaking of PepsiCo – anyone notice their new slogan – “More Happy”?
UPDATE: Official – amount of caffeine in Diet Pepsi Max is 46mg per 8oz. Thus a 12oz can contains 69mg.

love this drink, very refreshing, gives me a huge boost of energy…and no calories!
I am an electrician with a love for coffee. I find that my love for coffee in the morning leaves me wiped by lunch and w/out a coffee maker. I reach for “diet” pepsi max (i detest diet soda) and i love the taste and the wicked boost of energy. I will always stock this drink in my lunch bag.
Pepsico may be TARGETING 25-34 year olds but don’t anybody believe that the younger ones, age 6 and up, are not going to try it and…. get hooked. Just what they need, to be hyper everywhere and without sufficient sleep, on top of being super agrresive already.
I certainly hope that schools WILL NOT add it to their vending machines!!!!!
( and I thought that Canadian Mountain Dew was not allowed/supposed to have hidden caffeine…..contrary to the U.S.)
I found that I like diet pepsi max alot. Now that I found something that I like, I can’t find it in any gas ststion or store in the loose pops. WHAT’S UP !
i love it
Regular Pepsi is the only way to go. I came across something today that most certainly gives to my expression of my desire for Pepsi over Coke, and thought I should share it. I am a REGULAR Pepsi person and always will be. Follow the link to a true Pepsi lover that will put his money there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj7iwxMzxHA

Drink it religiously, doesn’t have the gross taste of diet soda, no calories, and it WAKES YOU UP!
Love the taste! Does not really buzz me. I can polish off a can before calling it a night and will sleep like a baby 
I ABSOLUTLY LOVE DIET PEPSI MAX!!! I WAS A REGULAR PEPSI DRINKER FOR MANY MANY YEARS, THIS IS THE BOMB!!! I NEVER EVER THOUGHT ID BE DRINKING A DIET DRINK!! I HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH, DID THEY QUIT WRITING DIET ON THE MAX CANS, OR ARE THERE 2 OF THEM NOW…..DIET AND REGULAR MAX????????? I ALSO HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THIS IN STORES…..DONT UNDERSTAND IT……THE BEST DRINK EVER!!!
THANKS

This stuff rules! I can’t stand diet coke after drinking this. I could swear it was regular with sugar and no crazy bittery aftertaste. Get yourself some. TASTY!!!
i am such a caffeine junkie…. my husband is too! we LOVE pepsi max! does anyone ever pour half a cup full of left over cooled coffee over ice and then fill the other half with diet pop (try pepsi or dr pepper) – or are we freaks??? i know it sounds weird but it’s good i swear.
Love it! I have always hated the taste of Diet Pepsi(to lemony) but enjoy Diet Pepsi Max. Tasts much more like regular Pepsi. Didn’t notice the added caffine and could do with out it as far as I am conderned. Hope it sticks around.
