Canadian Pepsi Max

[dumpster]

As per the previous discussion thread, about Coke's differing standards across the world, I heard a story once about the Kebab shops that sold imported drinks getting into a whole heap of trouble.

Apparently, in Canada and the USA, Pepsi Max contains sugar, as sacharrin is illegal over there, so, as these cans have english writing on them, they are very difficult to spot, when sold here.

And diabetics drink the stuff as it apparently contains no sugar, and well, you can see the rest of this story so I'll shut up.

I don't mean to sound pretentious, but this would probably work better as a reply to the coke thread rather than as a separate thread.

Interesting point about pepsi, though.

I did try to give him a subtle hint.

It was.  Worth noting, especially if you're diabetic.

By the way, I think you meant "patronising", not "pretentious", Sheepy said patronisingly...

Oh dear, the old Morecambe vs Lancaster rivalry finally rears it's ugly head on C&B.

Why can't we all just love each other accross the Lune?

sacharrin is illegal over there

Why is that, then? Is it some sort of Chemical Of UnEnding Badness?

Just curious, since I currently *live* off P-Max.

He's lucky he's not from York :)

Seriously though, I didn't notice his location. I'm also quite worried about his point because my girlfriend is diabetic and drinks Pepsi Max a fair bit :(

According to a recent post on the other thread it causes bladder cancer, and is banned outright in Canada.  It was banned in the US, but the ban was temporarily lifted and nobody's bothered to unlift it yet.
