Diet Pepsi Max: With More Caffeine

diet-pepsi-max.jpgPepsiCo 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 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.)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cheri

    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.

  • theresa

  • Tramlaw

    So far I like it. It tastes like regular Pepsi. Try and make a Mountain Dew Max….Zero calories but the taste of regular Mountain Dew. Diet Mountain Dew sucks…I hate the after taste.

    Pepsi Max never pushes the GINSENG amount in the drink.
    I don’t think they use much, it’s diluted with so much water you will never really know. Pepsi is a company that
    promotes how good they are but I can assure everyone
    They will cheat every chance they get. If you look forward in the future, Pepsi may not be there
    because of their deceptive ways. Ask the people at pepsi if they buy the little ginseng they use in China.
    Cheap and possibly worthless. Don’t spend your money on MAX

  • Beth Lee Lacombe`

    i love pepsi max.It’s the only soda I drink and I drink a lot of soda.

  • Tim

    I tried it for first time today. I have never been a fan of diet taste drinks in the past. I am still not a fan of diet taste drinks. Although I do prefer regular pepsi over coke brands. I just don’t buy them any longer because of the redicueles price.
