To get a rough idea of what Pepsi Max Cino tastes like ... try this . . .

(...)

I cannot guarantee it'll taste exactly like Pepsi Max Cino, but it'll give some idea of what to expect.

Have you tried your method yourself?

Funnily enough, I tried the above method this morning ... the result was a very similar taste, but not exactly
the same. It tasted slightly bitter, so I think I might have put a little bit too much Nescafe in my glass ... !

I recently found this article about Pepsi Max. The poster claimed that Pepsi Max was Pepsi One in disguise!
Although, the fact is that it's the other way round ... Pepsi One was launched over 5 years after Pepsi Max.

Seeing as I've been drinking Pepsi Max since it was launched here in the UK, I just had to post a rebuttal.

Some people need to get their facts straight (and their miniscule brains in gear) before posting stuff online!

Before I see the new Pepsi Max Cino in supermarket shelves, which instant coffee did you use? (brand, and any special type?)
What if I mix it with a bit of espresso?

I used Nescafe Original . . . although on hindsight, I think Pepsi have emulated a hint of the taste of
sweetened black coffee, and fused itt with the regular Pepsi Max flavour to create Pepsi Max Cino.

Has anyone tired the new Sprite Zero (blue bottle)? It tastes great!

It's available over here, and branded "Sprite Z". It takes almost exactly the same as 7UP Light.

AFAIK ... both Sprite Z(ero) and 7UP Light use the exact same sweeteners as Pepsi Max.

New? It's been here for at least six months. It does taste good though!

I just saw it on the shelves of Coles last week.

Pepsi One sold in the U.S. has Splenda for a sweetener. Pepsi Max is not sold in the U.S. and I have not seen it in Canada, so I cannot determine for myself whether the two taste the same.

I have found the Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi sold in Canada to taste sweeter than the products sold under the same name in the U.S. The U.S. products have aspartame (sold as Nutrasweet) as a sweetener, the Canadian versions have this as well as acesulfame potassium added as a sweetener.

Sprite Zero is in the U.S., but I believe it is in a clear bottle. I have yet to see anything Sprite in the U.S. that is in a blue bottle.

Pepsi One sold in the U.S. has Splenda for a sweetener.

True ... the current version of Pepsi One sold in the US contains the (sugar based) Splenda sweetener.

But the original Pepsi One (IIRC) used the same sweeteners that've always been in Pepsi Max, those
being aspartame and acesulfame k. Originally, Pepsi One was a copy of Pepsi max in all but name.

Now that Pepsi One uses Splenda, it can never use the slogan Pepsi Max has always used since 1993

Maximum Taste - No Sugar

Although last year, there was a variation on that theme . . .

Apparently the Pepsi Samba didn't sell very well here, since neither Coles nor Woolworths are stocking it here anymore. A few weeks ago they had it really cheap on clearance, for 30 cents a bottle.

Sprite Zero is indeed sold in the U.S. in a clear bottle. I tried it last week, it appears to be the same as Diet Sprite.
