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.
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.

I decided to stop drinking soda to see how much weight I would lose & in 3 weeks without soda i lost 19 pounds…but I am such a pepsi addict I really missed it…I always hated the taste of diet soda but when I saw the diet pepsi max I figured I’d give it a try…& to my surprise WOW I love it…all the taste of pepsi without that nasty diet after taste plus a little boost of extra caffiene & ginseng…so I would say to anyone that loves pepsi but not the pounds it can pack on pepsi max is the way to go…
Diet Pepsi addict here…. Max not as crisp like someone said but………
I’M ADD – caffeine mellows me out and helps me concentrate – just the opposite of you regular folks. I get triple shot lattes so at 69 mg caffeine – still not enough for me. Hate Mountain Dew even diet.
Hey – I’m an old chick too – well past 34 – why is it we boomers shouldn’t like this drink????
is diet pepsi max good for people with heart problems and diabetic please respond
Tastes great. But there needs to be some verbiage on the bottle or can that states it’s a higher caffiene content than regular Pepsi. I bought it because the store was out of regular Pepsi but had no idea it had more caffiene. I liked it though and will definitaly drink it on days when I need an extra boost.
i think it tastes just like reg. pepsi (which makes me happy)…and i absolutely love their commercials – they make me yawn everytime…if you havent seen them you should go to their website (wakeuppeople.com)…on their website you can even upload a picture of you yawning…great marketing!
Best diet soda I have tasted
What are you all smoking! It was the grossest thing I have ever tried, we even passed a bottle of it around the staff where I work and no one liked it. I think you need to go back to the drawing board on this one. I can’t believe I wasted my money on that poor excuse for a drink.
you people are all retarded. go drink your “now more cancerous” cans of poison. idiots
If I have to hear those people yawning one more time,I am going to just shoot my $4,000 TV set!!!! Pepsi,you have made the most annoying commercial ever,we have to mute it or change the channel.I also just wanna hit one of those ugly people.
Refuse to ever buy the pepsi product due to the most ridiculous commercial I have ever seen. Totally sick of this commerical and would never by product because of this. Have to mute or change channels when starts up!!!!
I started to drink Diet Max religiously and I found this site which exclaims that they are targetting 25-34 yr olds who want caffeine but not the calories. Yea.. that’s me.. great drink though, tastes like Coke with no calories or sugar. Kicks Coke Zero’s ass.
Ginseng is a bonus.
umm this product does not work becasue it made me tired after drinking!!
Masha, you probably felt tired because you were already dehydrated. Drinking some water after drinking any energy type drinkg and feeling tired brings you back up.
I tried diet pepsi max at school and I’d have to say I kept me awake through an entire hour and a half of boring lecture. Love the caffine kick and the taste is very close to regular pepsi. I never drink diet anything but I have definitely stocked up on diet pepsi max. Love it.
I love Pepsi Max!! I am a teacher assistant and I need all the energy I can get. I drink one a day at lunch and it gets me through the day! The taste is so much better than diet pepsi!
If anyone gets tired after drinking anything with allot of caffeine means you addicted to it.
Tried a sample can which came with my online grocery order. I came to this website to find out how much zip this offered and was disappointed on the high caffeine content. I’d love decaf that tasted this good.
It took me 2.5 hours to get to sleep last night. I woke up 25 times during the night. I drank about 12 oz of this before I went to bed as I just grabbed it off the fridge shelf & didn’t see it was MAX.
never again.
