Diet Pepsi Max
By: | Nov 3, 2007
Diet Pepsi Max is Pepsi's new ginseng infused diet cola. Adding ginseng gives the soda a caffeine boost to 46 milligrams per 8 ounce serving compared to 24 mg in regular Diet Pepsi. The taste of the Maxxed out Pepsi is very similar to diet Pepsi - no weird aftertaste. If you're still drinking sodas, then you'll like this, and if you claim you don't like diet sodas - then I would say give this a try and see if you don't become a convert.
A 12 ounce bottle has 69 milligrams of caffeine, which is more than Diet Mountain Dew and Mellow Yello with 55 and 51 mg per 12 ounce. Diet Vanilla Coke and Coke with Lime both have 45 mg in 12 ounces; and a Tall Starbucks Coffee has 260 mg. Check out the caffiene database at Energy Fiend.
The sweeteners used in Diet Pepsi Max are acesulfame K and aspartame and of course, there are no calories. Too much caffeine is not good for you at all - but considering that this has half the caffeine as a cup of coffee, I would probably get this if I needed a soda fix. I prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke - what's your soda of choice?

I really like Diet Pepsi Max. It's what I'm drinking as I try to reduce my energy drink consumption.
I also prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke. And I really like Diet Pepsi Max. Diet Cola is probably my most unhealthy vice, but I have been cutting back. Still, since I don't drink coffee it's not like I'm getting too much caffeine like you pointed out!
I don't tend to like diet pepsi all that much, but I had a coupon for diet pepsi max (and I cannot pass up a coupon!) and really enjoyed it. Am I crazy or is the taste different?
I am obsessed with this stuff. It tastes so much sweeter!!
I first had Pepsi Max in Australia 2 years ago and fell in love with it then. I am currently living in Guam and am so happy to have found it again....love it, absolutely love it! I hear they have Dr. Pepper Zero in the UK, hope it makes its way "across the pond" soon.
The Pepsi guys just gave me a sample of this. If you roll on the Pepsi side of life this product is amazing! It is just like Diet Pepsi, but with more of a "kick". It's great for a mid-day pick me up.
I have something much better for you! How about an energy drink, with NO caffeine, NO sugar, tastes great and is backed by the ONLY clinical study in the medical community to enhance energy, stabilize mood and loaded with a BALANCE of antioxidants!! email me for more! SUSAN
