Board 8 > Today I went to 3 stores trying to find Pepsi One.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That'll teach me not to Google stuff before doing literally anything.

God damn you aspertame loving masses.
---

To be fair, it went away because Diet Pepsi basically became it, not because people love aspertame
---

Still aspertame in Diet Pepsi, though, and Pepsi Zero. Just checked while I was there.

And now nobody seems to have Diet Hansen's, either?

Looks like Diet Rite is my only option, and even that's almost always sold out everywhere and just in original.

Like fucking HELL am I gonna drink Zevia.
---

Isn't it basically Pepsi Max now?

Oh, wow. I didnt know they added aspertame back. Pepsi One basically died because at the time they removed the aspertame in Dirt Pepsi and replaced it with the stuff in Pepsi One

Whats Pepsi One?

Also aspertame.

Was an alternate version of Diet Pepsi removing aspertame, which is one of the worst fake sugars out there. Looks like they backpedaled hard earlier this year and took it off the market. For a while before that I think it was just the standard Diet Pepsi before everyone freaked.

bro what the fuck are you talking about do they not have sprite where you live?
---

Has the lowest amount of soda that has it at 50mg, but still there.

And why the hell would you drink Diet Sprite, just buy Lemon Lime flavored American Ice at that point.
---

You could do Coca-Cola Life. It's got calories though, but not as many as normal coke
It's a Sugar + Stevia drink.
I get it when the coke products are on sale and it's pretty good.

Have you TRIED Sprite Zero? Its fucking delicious.

And the danger of aspartame is overblown as fuck.

I wonder why they bother selling "Diet" and "Zero Sugar" as different bottles. I tried both Cokes side by side, and it was the same stupid drink, taste, caffeine content, etc. I would imagine Pepsi does the same tactic.
---

What were the names of the actual stores you went to?

I'm tired of being ignored.

What were the names of the actual stores you went to? What time did you actually go to the store? Couldn't you just buy a smaller portion of the soda at the convince store and buy the liter size version of it next week? As long as it's Pepsi One isn't just a 12 oz bottle enough to satisfy you? Why did TRE nominate Scyther and Shellder and not Team Rocket in the Character Battle?

@Hardcore_Adult @HaRRicH @LapisLazuli @Anagram @Commodore @Strife2 @Team_Rocket_Elite @WickIebee @LeonhartFour

Why didn't you just buy 2 12 oz bottles if you want to take it with you on the go? Bringing a 2 liter oz sized bottle with you in the car is not necessary.

I haven't seen Pepsi One anywhere except random convenience stores I rarely go to. Or my grandma's house (so maybe Walmart). Both Diet Coke and Coke Zero Sugar are sold in my building.
---

I refuse to drink aspartame and would rather have actual sugar in the soda I do drink. I only drink one soda a week, so it's not like it affects my health much.

I'll often get a low-calorie root beer (50 calories in a 16-oz. bottle) that has natural sweeteners so I completely understand your perspective. My caffeine of choice, however, is cold brew coffee, so I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to tell you.

Best of luck, man.

No Disrespect but You can shove all your Light/Diet/Zero Drinks up your arse.

Where are you from? I legit haven't seen Pepsi One in many years. I honestly forgot it existed until this topic.

Sales of diet sodas started to fall because men found the word "diet" too feminine, so the soda companies started making new low-calorie lines to appeal to them. They didn't actually change the new drinks much because the taste wasn't the issue.

I haven't either, but the article about it is from February of this year.

I think the article is confused.

Pepsi One has been gone since 2015.

Diet Pepsi got rid of aspartame in 2015 and basically became Pepsi One, then brought the aspartame back this year/had articles about it in February.

Sugar!

Your taste palate is broken if you think Diet Coke and Coke Zero Sugar taste exactly the same.
---

Yeah the reason the make Diet Coke and Coke Zero is because Diet Coke has it's own unique flavor.

It's crisper and cleaner and doesn't make your mouth feel sticky with syrup
---

I just got Diet Pepsi without Aspartame like a month or two ago, but havent found more since. Just dealing with the aspartame kind until I can get myself off having a soda regularly

If you can find Diet Rite that works. Walmart usually has at least some.
---

Apparently they still make non-aspartame Diet Pepsi but you can only order it online
---

I think I found a decently priced alternative?

Never had it.

Sucralose is not good for you either

I mean nothing is good for you in large amounts

But sucralose is much better than aspartame

If it's anything like the before mentioned Coke Life, it's alright
