Can confirm the cherry Max. Buy it semi regularly as I think it's great. Though I do agree with the comedian Ed Gamble who said it is very filling, perhaps moreso than a normal Pepsi Max or Coke Zero
Wow, in russia pepsi max vanilla have a diffrent name! Its pepsi DARK VANILLA. My favorite! Im quite suprised that you have a diffrent name there, and its not because of translation coz name is on english x) Quite weird, but i glad to know that my favorite drink availible in other countries because i thought its Russia exclusive.
I often wonder what part of the UK Harry lives in as he frequently seems to have trouble buying UK products that I can buy easily in almost any supermarket and often in local shops too. Pepsi Max Cherry, Raspberry and Lime seem to be very widely available around Yorkshire and I've never had a problem finding any of them. Pepsi Max Ginger isn't as common but does still seem to pop up now and again but I suspect it's been discontinued as it's becoming less common.
Tbf the lime sells out all the time at my supermarket, I put a pack of 8 on the shelf the other day and they were gone within an hour (Morrisons aldershot for context)
Here in Brazil we have a whopping variety of 3 Pepsi flavors. The other two are Twist and Black. Current Pepsi Twist is zero-sugar with lime squeeze, there used to be a sugar variant but was phased out some time after. Black is basically Max, and it's relatively recent, being introduced here only a couple of years ago. I just wish we had more variety like the rest of the world
@@ShaneWalta never seen any pepsi factories in my life never seen any application processes on job websites never seen any roles to apply for anywhere etc
@@kbrarn8784 yes I just think pepsi is produced by the gods and angels put them on the shelves in our shops , your comprehension skills are clearly not the best . I said I’ve never seen jobs advertised/potential job opportunities at these places nor ever seen any buildings/factories relating to pepsi
@@dragoner3211 the older logo was recognisable too, without it looking like it was thrown together in MS Paint. There's a whole lot of videos on oversimplified logos that you can watch if you want proper opinions on why they're shite
I got my hands on Crystal Pepsi about 5 years ago when they rereleased it. I was excited and bought it as soon as I saw it. It tasted like sugar in carbonated water and little else.
Random facts: HFCS is most definitely worse than sugar, although not by a wide margin. It is 55% fructose, thus harder to metabolize due to the fact that only the liver can process fructose and it causes more weight gain because of the imbalance of sugar types. Also, New Coke/Coke II is still available-as Sam's cola (Wal-Mart). They bought the recipe from Coke after it was discontinued around 1991 and it's almost identical, albeit slightly watered down.
"New Coke/Coke II is still available-as Sam's cola (Wal-Mart). They bought the recipe from Coke after it was discontinued around 1991" I'm pretty sure this is a myth. Do you have a source?
I like it how Harry measures the items in grams and millilitres and Joe measured the items by ounces and fluid ounces. I just love it, it just tells you different ways of measuring groceries and lots of other things. And also in the US you have way more portion sizes of Pepsi compared to here in the UK. You have seven compared to our four. Also, the ingredients are basically just corn syrup and chemicals in it and in the UK we have basic ingredients. No idea if I’m wrong but sorry if I am. I’m wished I lived in the US to be honest because your portion sizes and exclusives are nothing but spectacular. Food Wars is the best!!! ❤❤
i worked in the syrup production room at a local fountain beverage company, and i sampled a little of the plain high fructose corn syrup.......yea, it gives a sharp bite on the sweetness factor.
Actually, you can also get the 3L Pepsi in America but don't expect to find it just anywhere, as it's not offered by alot of stores that only sell the two main sizes of every kind of soda/pop.
I got to try Crystal Pepsi when I went to America as a kid and I was amazed at how it could be clear but taste exactly like Pepsi! I'm surprised people hated it because it was a pretty cool novelty to me
I prefer Pepsi Max to regular, but Pepsi Max Cherry is my favourite. I've tried Pepsi Max Raspberry and that was possibly the worst soft drink I've ever tasted.
About the Sodastream syrup, it has cola flavor but tastes in my more or less humble opinion much closer to the inexpensive cola drinks, the super market offers under the own name. I made the experience, that overdose tastes a bit better than underdose, but I would add fresh lemon juice, so it's a bit like the lemon piece in the glass. When I want cherry cola taste, I take some of the Sodastream cherry syrup. About the syrup bottle envelope, when you carefully break it, it doesn't look so fuzzy.
Recently, mango pepsi max made its way into UK stores, and I'll be honest, I love it. I'm not really much of a soft drinks person, but I could have mango pepsi quite regularly
I used to drink regular Pepsi for years but switched to Pepsi Zero Sugar about 3-4 years ago. I drank a can of regular Pepsi for the first time in a while the other day and it actually tasted very strange to me. Not at all how I remembered it lol
One thing you pointed out which frustrates me massively is that we dont list our caffeine content in the uk unless its super high (like energy drinks). When i was pregnant the nhs tells you dont have more than 200mg of caffeine per day but then nowhere actually discloses how much in stuff. I dont drink tea or coffee which meant i was probably fine, but chocolate also has it in, so essentially i just allowed myself one can of coke zero every so often as i knew i was unlikely to go over with this. I wish more companies listed it honestly. There are more reasons other than pregnancy to try and restrict caffeine and i think it would be helpful for people to be able to make informed choices
You should do a food wars of uk vs us vs aus! Australia frequently in the products for food wars have a hybrid of the American and UK offerings as well as exclusive offerings!
I'd be curious to have one fly to the other place so they can try all the things, then they both fly to the other place and do the same. Supposedly our food standards are much better than the yanks but I'd like to see people actually compare them
7up free is my favourite drink. Afterwards it's full sugar Pepsi if no 7up free is available at the cinema as i need sugar to focus not sleeping in the dark. Helped me during class without a distracting aftertaste. Plus I like lemon lime.
Can confirm the kidney stones, never thought I'd get them at 25, but alas I did, and at like 2litres a day, no surprises there. 3 years later my consumption of Pepsi/similar drinks is WAY down.
I prefer Pepsi max and love the cherry version. In the UK Costco do 8 2L bottles of either Pepsi/Diet or Max in packs strapped together for about £7.50. Can easily pay £2-3 for just one bottle these days so it’s much cheaper to buy in bulk. I’ve also seen the 3L Pepsi max bottles in B&M bargains
Now with the Atlantic Canadian Pepsi Flavors. We have an entire list of Crush Sodas that are mainly manufactured here in Atlantic Canada, like Lime, Birch Beer and Pineapple. They show up in various other places, but those are the main 3.
What you can find in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Pepsi: 250ml cans 330ml cans 500ml cans (imports for sale in other countries so hard to find and not officially sold) 330ml bottle 500ml bottle 1.5L bottle 2L bottle Multipacks come in 6s 10s and 24s (330ml cans) Pepsi max (no sugar) comes in the same sizes as regular Pepsi but also comes in a 15s 330ml can multipack Additional flavors are Pepsi max raspberry and Pepsi max vanilla in 1.5L bottles. You can also get the Pepsi max vanilla in 6s 330ml can multipacks. Might be some others these are just the ones I've seen :)
The bit about pepsi having the largest navy is wrong they did have a agreement to get those ships but they changed the deal. For the USSR to make 2 big oil tankers and give them to pepsi but the USSR collapsed and it was abandoned. But if they did get the warships and subs it would not be enough to have the 6th largest navy
In March 2023, Pepsi UK changed the original recipe of their classic drink adding sweeteners instead of sugar. This means that Pepsi no longer offers a full sugar drink in the UK.
Good video! Luckily in my country we have lot of variations... Classic, Max, Max vanilla, Max Mango, Max Lime also the Twist, Wild cherry, Max rasberry and the Blue are easy to find in some stores!🇭🇺
The thing that annoys me about the sugar tax is they actually reduced the sizes and changed the recipes to include less sugar at the same time the tax was introduced - they didn't even wait to see what the market wanted.
@@VictorDude98 I think he’s saying people in America have too much sodium in their Pepsi for no damn reason not that Americans wouldn’t like Pepsi it’s not like it matters since America is the best anyways
@@christianwilliams8967 But that’s the thing, if everything in your diet contains a lot of salt, suddenly consuming something that has less would make you dislike it. And in addition, salt makes you thirstier
For years I had maybe a glass of water a month, the rest was Pepsi then coke and at one point quite a lot of red bull.. Most of my teens was like this, I have no idea how I'm alive.
@@b_hav_6365 always been stick thin and I guess I was active enough to maintain a 6 pack I'd gained from working out as a preteen for a few years somehow, didn't eat a whole lot though, hate food. Alcohol's the only way I've gained any weight
@@b_hav_6365 I used to drink a 2l a day and was medically underweight, main reason for stopping was my dentist said i would lose all my teeth if i carried on. Now i drink only sugar free pop and a lot less of it
In Canada we have - 222ml can in a 6 pack, 355ml can, 591ml plastic bottle, 710ml plastic bottle in a pack of 6, 1L plastic bottle and 2L plastic bottle. 12pack of 355ml cans, 18pack of 355ml cans and 24pack of 355ml cans
OK I have to clarify, Pepsi didn't have the 6th largest navy because one, the deal never happened and two, even if it did the number of ships wouldn't even be in the top 20, though admittedly it is an impressive number for a private corporation
a Funfact about New Coke is that people reacted very angry, when they had been told, that they picked the New Coke instead of the Old one in a blind taste test . A Classic Example of: "They Changed it, now it must suck and i stand by it, even if i'm wrong!"
@@HughGort That's a non sequitur, nothing to do with what I said or at very least you knowingly twisted the context of my meaning because you thought you'd sound smart. Also if you actually have a twitter account you should know, I do not and have never used twitter.
you guys so should get someone from brasil to do this with. maybe brazil vs japan since you already filmed america and england. subject suggestions are: doritos, RUFFLES, any soda basically (we have 3L, pepsi with lemon, teeny cans, and slim cans just off the top of my head those r different from you guys)
I drink water/ Orange Juice and Beer! Thats it and feel great! I gave up soda 10 years ago along with caffeine and never looked back.. That be said loved the video brings back memories.
I moved to UK and lost 10 kg over 5-6 months just coz its overall healthier lifestyle here tbh. Harry you should proudly rep the appropriate sizing here
In Spain I've seen multiple bottles that are not mentioned in this video, such as the 333 ml one. I love that one and I buy it when there's stock of it because it has the same capacity as a regular can but can be sealed which comes really handy ngl
Here in Norway I'm pretty sure Pepsi Max is the largest soda brand, perhaps after regular coke, I'm not entirely sure, but they both take up large portions of the soda section. I'm not even sure I can remember having seen regular Pepsi stocked in recent years. When I haven't had Pepsi Max in a while, it does have that kinda chemical taste, but that goes away as you get used it and it becomes utterly addicting. I had to completely stop drinking it since it was so addicting, and we even had had story about a girl who had financial trouble partially due to her Pepsi Max consumption. (financial management in general was the bigger issue, of course. That said, I did try Pepsi max when I lived in the UK for a while and, well, I didn't continue. Perhaps we just have better water, idk.
Sparkling water is great for those of us that don’t enjoy sugary sodas. My kids absolutely love Bubly and it’s the only carbonated drink we buy in our house. I didn’t know it was owned by Pepsi though. I find Coke products far better than Pepsi normally. We do have the Pepsi and 7up soda stream bottles here in Canada as well.
As far as sparkling water goes bubly is the most disgusting ones I’ve ever tried. LaCroix is so much better in my opinion. I stopped drinking soda for the most part and stick with sparkling water and now a normal soda tastes so over the top sweet and sugary.
Fun Fact: "Diet Coke" uses the "New Coke" recipe, but with Aspartame instead of Sugar and HFCS. That's why it tastes so different. They then took the "Classic" coke recipe and replaced the sugar and HFCS with a blend of Aspartame and Acesulfame Potassium ("Ace K") and sell it as "Coke Zero Sugar". Oh, and speaking of, Crystal Pepsi was largely killed by Tab Cola, an alternative clear cola (produced by Coca-Cola, though they made sure they kept their name away from it), and sold with "Low Sugar" and "Health benefits", successfully tarnishing the "clear cola" segment and tanking Crystal Pepsi with it (See "Killing Giants: 10 Strategies to Topple the Goliath in Your Industry" by Stephen Danny, where there's an interview with Sergio Zyman, former chief marketing officer at Coca-Cola)
I once got home early from work, and stumbled on an episode of Bodger and Badger where Bodger bought a Sodastream and Badger used it to make fizzy mashed potato. Epic.
Alot of people (including myself) believe that the failure of New Coke was a calculated plan by Coca-Cola. They changed the iconic formula of Coke knowing that the public would be outraged and demand that they bring back their beloved Coke. They make the New Coke taste like Pepsi, and by rejecting New Coke they at the same time are unintentionally rejecting Pepsi at the same time.
I mean polls showed that people liked the taste of pepsi more in a blind test. Im guessing thats the reason they tried to copy it, but people are gonna complain when anything changes, for better or for worse.
In czechia we have 5 pepsi types, Normal, Max, Max Lime, Max Mango and Max Pineapple + Mint and we have 8 sizes for normal and max 0,25l 0,33l 0,5l 1l 1,5l 2l 2,25l and 2,5l. The ones with flavour come in 0,33l-(only lime and mango) 0,5l 1,5l and 2,25l
99 cent Only Stores, until recently, sold 3 liter bottles of Pepsi, as well as Shasta soda. Recently Shasta has dropped to 2.5 liter bottles for 99 cents. The 99 cent Only Store(s) also sell the Pepsi Max 2 liters for 99 cents (as well as cherry flavors).
Obversations for UK Pepsi: You can get a 750ml bottle of Pepsi max / diet in supermarkets, also you can get another version of the 500ml pepsi bottle, showing liters and fluid ounces. That’s the same for the 330ml can. Also, you can get a 440ml can of Pepsi Max / diet which you can’t get for the classic Pepsi. And there’s Cherry Pepsi Max and Lime Pepsi Max.
Joe, I'm gonna give you that one on the weird smell of Bubly. The "Bubly Burst" (caffeinated version) is almost tolerable. However, I might be giving it a pass because I'm such a caffeine fiend.
