US vs UK Pepsi | Food Wars

Pepsi in the UK has cherry max as well. Also a max caffeine free version

[farhanmahmood]

There’s also Pepsi Max Vanilla, lime, strawberry and cherry flavours in the UK.

As someone that works for Pepsi, you described Bubly perfectly.

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.

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

Sparkling water is not for everyone, but it is funny that grapefruit was the least favorite flavor. It is my personal favorite next to blackberry.

[wamfaj]

Can't believe you missed Cherry Pepsi Max, Harry! My favourite drink!!

[robbiefl]

They share one thing though- that horribly oversimplified logo. Bring back the early 00s logo Pepsi!!

[JoeMama]

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.

[wakcedout]

i worked in the syrup production room at a local fountain beverage company, and i sampled a little of the plain high fructose corn it gives a sharp bite on the sweetness factor.

[KingDeadMan]

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.

As a Wisconsinite, the most exciting part of this video was the New Glarus glass

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!!! ❤❤

The Japanese Pepsi's are amazing. More bubbly, seasonal variants, the midnight blackcurrant flavour was sublime.

[BartekSoltys]

For drink sizes in the UK we also have a small 250ml can, at least for Pepsi Max (source: drinking one right now)

Many years ago my husband confused a waitress in Las Vegas by asking for a “gin and lemonade”. I managed to tell her he meant Sprite.

[TR]

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.

[LegalVampire]

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

[evanyaboi]

Bubly is aromatic. It’s actually supposed to just taste like carbonated water with a slight scent of the flavors. I actually love them

[Lil-Dragon]

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.
