Pepsi Special Editions

July 30, 2006

Went to Giant Hypermarket last week and saw 2 new Pepsi editions, Pepsi Gold and Pepsi Max. Pepsi has always been my favorite cola, especially Pepsi Twist. I bought a bottle (600ml) of each, priced at RM1.59.

As the name implies, Pepsi Gold is gold in color (including the bottle cap) I believe it is launched along with the World Cup 2006 event because it has this SMS competition that allows buyers to win 2 David Beckham’s gold medals. All you need to do is find the 6 digit codes under the bottle cap, and send it to a certain number along with your personal details. Frankly I am not really interested lol.

Taste wise, I feel that it doesn’t differ with the original Pepsi at all. It’s like drinking Pepsi, but in gold.

Pepsi Max is Pepsi without sugar but gives maximum taste, as claimed by its label.

Same with Gold, Max tastes similar to original Pepsi (close to 90%) The weird thing is, it tastes sweeter? Even with no sugar? Personally I prefer Max to Gold (less gas and NO sugar! LOL) Most of the photos I took are blurry, paiseh for that, shaky hands that evening
