About Pepsi Max
Pepsi Max launched in 1993 aimed at men who avoided diet drinks, and is sold as Pepsi Zero Sugar in the United States. It contains more caffeine than regular Pepsi, which the branding around maximum taste has always implied. The two names for one product exist because the word diet carried a gendered association the company wanted to avoid.
