Pepsi Max Flavour Issues

Lozb3n on 11/11/2022 - 09:01

Has anyone else noticed issues with Pepsi Max flavour being "not right" lately?

I had several boxes of Pepsi Max from Amazon that didn't taste right, almost as if they put too much syrup in. Expiration dates were both in Feb. I contacted Pepsi and they said there were some issues for some Jan/Feb batches but that it should be fixed now.

I ordered 2 more boxes with expiration March and April but they too don't taste right. I even got a few bottles from Coles of which 2 were fine but 2 had the same issue as the ones from Amazon. Anyone else had similar experiences?

    Most likely near or past the best before date.

    The non-sugar ones go off a lot earlier than the sugar ones.

    I just mix my own Pepsi Max these days and it tastes way better.

      they're all well within best before dates. expiration is up to April next year.

        Maybe they used 'old' syrup in the factory???

      +1 to Mixing at home, really good
      Would give Coca-Cola syrup a whirl if available

    I had 2 boxes from Amazon. One was off and one was fine. I think the best before dates might not be marked correctly and Amazon just offloads that stock on the cheap.

    Maybe it's a sign to drink less Pepsi…

    That sounds like a lot if you are consuming all of them personally.

    Nothing as refreshing as an ice cold pepsi max from the can on a hot day.

      Upvoted, but mostly for your name and photo.

      Hats off to you for not seeing race.

      Didn't open the link, but am going to go with 'partial credit'.

      Also username definitely checks out!

    I had a 30 pack a month ago that tasted strange so I would say yes, they had a batch that wasn't right.
