If you don't know they changed the diet pepsi formula and it's now made with splenda. Sounds nice but the taste is extremely sweet, it has a bad after taste, and it's flat!! If you are a diet pepsi addict like me and you don't like this new taste try Pepsi Max. I am not sure what makes it MAX all I know is it taste like real diet pepsi.

    Yeah, I was really disappointed with the new Diet Pepsi. I miss the aspartame :(

    I haven't noticed much in the two cans I've had so far. There's an unopened 12-pack I'll drink soon (I usually do Diet Dr. Pepper, and since they're mostly produced by 7-Up they shouldn't be affected), so I'll have to see if I can stand it that long. My mom has already said she wants to switch from CF Diet Pepsi to CF Diet Coke.

    Yeah, Ace-K pretty much kills it. I'll take Aspartame. I was really disappointed in the new formula. So it's PepsiMax or CokeZero for me.

    I have stocked up at Sam's with REAL Diet Pepsi since they still have some w/ aspartame. I called Pepsi and they may go back to their original formula but it depends on customer demand. I have called 3 times, so far lol.

    I've drank Pepsi Max for years, it has been available in Australia since 1993. If that isn't available I drink Coke Zero. Diet Pepsi and diet coke are blah in comparison.

    I didn't really notice it until I grabbed a warm can by mistake.

    I couldn't get the flavor out of my mouth after that can. :s

    I don't know if they changed it in Canada but when we were in the US recently my husband bought a bottle. I had no idea there was a change. I took a drink of his and was like "wth is this". It was awful. Then I noticed the label. Ugh. Gross.
