message: There's a new coffee flavoured Pepsi Max out now. Anyone know the date it was released so it can be added to the article? -- IICATSII 20:10, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It isn't even a new concept.  Here in the United States, Pepsi introduced a coffee-flavored cola called "Pepsi Kona" around ten years ago.  The Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley areas of Pennsylvania served as test markets, and the product was discontinued without ever being distributed to the rest of the country.  I recall seeing many television advertisements (because I live near Philadelphia), but I never tasted it.  The idea of combining coffee with cola seemed utterly revolting at the time, and it still does now.  —David Levy 22:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's one of the most disgusting drinks I've tasted in recent years, and I accidentally drank a beer with a cigarette butt in it last week. -- IICATSII 14:30, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I really like it! But I can't compare it with a beer+cigarette butt... Coke + Ribena is nice too. Halsteadk 17:28, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Now that Diet Pepsi Max has been renamed "Pepsi Max", i it should be merged into this article. The article should discuss in one place the different histories and formulations of these beverages that now share a common name. It's too confusing to maintain them in separate articles.--Srleffler (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I second this notion.--Bkopicz3 (talk) 06:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I disagree. It seems that Diet Pepsi has only been renamed Diet Pepsi Max in the US. In other markets Diet Pepsi (or "Light") and Pepsi Max remain distinctly differently-formulated products. I would also note that applying the US Pepsi Max logo to this page is wrong, since the "old" logo remains in use in the traditional Pepsi Max markets, especially Europe.

replies: text: To be clear, Diet Pepsi has not been renamed in the United States.  A different product called "Diet Pepsi Max" was introduced and later renamed "Pepsi Max," and this remains separate from Diet Pepsi.  However, it's equally separate from the pre-existing Pepsi Max sold elsewhere in the world (this article's subject), so I also oppose a merger.  —David Levy 21:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Oppose The US version is a different formulation aimed at a different market (energy drink vs. regular cola), and should remain on a separate page. --Richmeistertalk 13:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, though it doesn't seem to be promoted as an energy drink.  —David Levy 21:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Why is there no mention of the suicide-themed ads?  Even though it was a short-lived fiasco, shouldn't it at least be mentioned? --138.237.169.27 (talk) 00:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

message: After I watched the USA v Spain game, there were some advertisements for Pepsi MAX that said "We can't call ourselves a ZERO" or something like that, possibly as a joke to Coke Zero. GuyWithoutAUsername (talk) 18:26, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The reference to the amount of caffeine in the drink is for the US drink, which is different. Secretlondon (talk) 17:57, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Caffeine ref is to the US version 

message: So it says at the top,   this is about the Pepsi Max product sold outside North America,  for which there is a separate article.    But then halfway down,  it says the name was "Diet Pepsi Max",  which was then changed to just "Pepsi Max".  AFAIK,   the non-American product was never called "Diet Pepsi Max", and this claim would appear to apply to the North American product,  and belongs in the other article.
Reference is made to the fact that Pepsi Max supposedly has a lot more caffeine than "Diet Pepsi".    How much caffeine does "Pepsi" have ?
It might also be useful to explain how "Pepsi One" fitted into the evolution of low-calorie Pepsi products.Eregli bob (talk) 12:52, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  confusing 

message: Near the top of the History section, it says "unavailable in the United States until only recently" and nowhere else in the article does it state when Pepsi Max was introduced into the United States, although it does imply that it was available before 2007, and the time when acesulfame potassium was approved by the FDA implies that it was not before 2001: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2001-title21-vol3/xml/CFR-2001-title21-vol3-sec172-800.xml Julyo (talk) 13:14, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Recently" 

message: Is their now any difference between Pepsi Max and Diet Pepsi in the UK or elsewhere outside the uSA? All the sources I can find suggest that outside the USA the difference between the two drinks is that Pepsi Max contains acesulfame K. UN Diet Pepsi now contains acesulfame K. Does this mean that the sole difference is marketing and audience segmentation? I can find no suggestions that caffeine content or taste are different. Stub Mandrel (talk) 10:19, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
