About Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi launched in 1964, eighteen years before Diet Coke, and was the first diet cola from a major producer. Its 2015 reformulation away from aspartame was reversed within a year after sales fell sharply. The episode is often cited as evidence that removing a disliked ingredient can still cost more in taste loyalty than it gains in reassurance.
