I would also note that applying the US Pepsi Max logo to this page is wrong, since the "old" logo remains in use in the traditional Pepsi Max markets, especially Europe.

Is their now any difference between Pepsi Max and Diet Pepsi in the UK or elsewhere outside the uSA? All the sources I can find suggest that outside the USA the difference between the two drinks is that Pepsi Max contains acesulfame K. UN Diet Pepsi now contains acesulfame K. Does this mean that the

So it says at the top, this is about the Pepsi Max product sold outside North

In the popular culture section it says that the "pepsi max" name was changed in a video game due to copyright infringement. Using a name brand product within a game/movie/book/song does not violate any copyright laws in the United States. If it was illegal then
