PepsiCo

I thought it was the case that I just purchased and I even checked the date under the can. I threw one can out because I thought it was the ice. Drank another can without ice and still same nasty taste. Went to my mother in laws a week later and drank a Pepsi and same nasty taste. My sister in law said she taste the same thing. What did you so differently and change it back. Cherry Pepsi tastes normal but that regular is just nasty.

My husband and I bought 2 eight pack bottles of diet Mountain Dew from Publix approx 12-Jun-2020. We have not drank mountain dew in about 8-12 months before this purchase. When we opened the soda everything seemed fine, but then we caught the smell - it had such a foul smell coming from the soda we stopped drinking it and threw it out. Now we aren't sure what to do with the remaining bottles other than to toss them. Very disappointing as this is our go to soda when we get in the mood.

I’ve noticed since Mtn Dew Zero came out, Mtn Dew is flat and has a chemical taste to it. I only drink 12oz cans, but a coworker bought a 20oz bottle at work and said it was flat. I am curious if anyone on the west coast is experiencing this as well.

I'm not impressed with the reward program Pepcoin by PepsiCo. You can't enter only drink codes or only snack codes. You must enter a drink and a snack code. It is timed, so don't enter one code until you have the other. It doesn't accept larger (family size) bags of chips, it says invalid entry. It shouldn't matter what size you buy. Not worth wasting your time. I'm done.

I purchased a case of Pepsi Max (Pepsi Zero Sugar, new name) and first noticed the new can appearance, which looked cool. But when I opened one it tasted like a cheap store brand or Diet Coke. Not good!!! Go back to the original flavor!!

I have bought a bad 12 pack of the 12 oz cans of Throwback. Pepsi already took my call, and even sent a coupon. Now a second from the Same grocery store, is spoiled. It smells a little of fermented and tastes of malt liquor. It just smells like it's spoiled. And the taste is pungent. Not so good at all. Anyone having this issue, recently? The second pack was bought on November 17. The first was on the 4th of November.

The last couple of months I don't know what happened to the formula but it taste like a cheap store brand instead of a brand trying to compete with Coke. Until they go back I am done with Pepsi. I am going to miss that old Pepsi taste. Very disappointed consumer.

I have drank Pepsi for many years. I see warnings out that there is chemicals in it that can cause cancer. I love my Pepsi but have noticed that recently taste different and though I just drink one a day usually I am thinking it is better if I don't drink it anymore. I drink the Regular and Cherry favor and noticed a different taste.

This year I've noticed a strange chemical taste to Diet Pepsi, in bottles and cans. It's ruining the experience of drinking my favorite cola. It's a taste that hits you right at the start of drinking it, please make this go away- I would even prefer the non-aspartame variety over this!

I drink a lot of Pepsi every day, more so since you started making it with real sugar instead of artificial crap and corn syrup, I drink several daily (yes I realize I’m addicted but that’s another story). Every once in a while I’ll get a can or a 12 pack that seems like it went bad, all I can taste is carbonated water, tastes like club soda or something. The expiration date gives no clues, I thought maybe heat exposure during storage altered the chemistry or something, but it was so rare I figured it was a fluke, until lately, I’ve had 12 pack after 12 pack this way, I open a can, pour it over my just right sized ice cubes and take that first sip only to spit it back out when it tastes gross. In the last few weeks I have dumped enough cans to total a case or two.

My husband and I have been drinking diet caffeine free Pepsi for years. The 12 pack we just opened has a chemical taste to it. We bought at Meijer in Richmond, Indiana. Afraid to drink anymore. Saving the rest of the 12 pack in case the company needs numbers off the box or cans.

I was about to start collecting codes for this, but in order to do that, I need to sign up. Problem is that this birthdate is in scroll form. Months, Jan. thru Dec., fine. Dates, 1-31, fine. Years, 1860 thru 1960, not fine! Folks, I was born in 1986. And Pepsi doesn't recognize the younger generations? It was built on the younger people who hate Coca-Cola and decided to drink and think young, okay? Try to set an e-mail to complain about that, and my computer want to use my GMail account on the e-mail app? To that, I say no deal! Do not use PepCoin! It's just another excuse to get people to get a PayPal account. I am giving this a failing grade. An F-! Nobody who was born in 1860 is still alive today. I'll still drink Pepsi, but I will not participate in PepCoin. Unless they fix the scroll issue.

What is going on with Diet Dew? I've been a fan for ages but am considering not buying anymore. Lately, most of the what I've purchased is not fizzy enough if you don't drink it immediately, it goes flat- I end up throwing it out. One of the reasons I have loved Diet Dew is that I could leave the open can for hours and it would still be fizzy. At first I thought I must have gotten a bad batch, but this has continued for the last several months.

I drink Pepsi every day, really addicted to the drink. Yesterday I poured 2 new 2 liter Pepsi's down the drain. To be honest it tasted so strange, almost a medicine-chemical taste, I was afraid to drink it. Do not think I will buy any more 2 liters in fear of getting sick. Going to buy a 12 pack of Pepsi in cans and if this tastes the same I'm going to change caffeine brands.

I love Diet Pepsi, I'm glad they bring back **. It's a true better taste since my younger days in the 70s, Thank you so much PepsiCo! :) I like the old Pepsi logo and I always buy Diet Pepsi all the time, it's taste and smell so good I know of, that I recognize for decades! Take care.

I have noticed a change of recipe in the regular Pepsi. I have been a loyal Pepsi customer for many years and have noticed the change in the last couple of weeks. I have had friends taste the drink as well and was told it tasted flat, chemical tasting like aspartame, and some agreed with the Vick’s. I have thrown out several bottles and purchased at different locations. After my last bottle on Monday, I have decided it was no longer my drink of choice. I hope Pepsi changes their mind on this new recipe to bring me back. But until then, hello Dr. Pepper!

We have been a die hard Diet Mountain Dew family since it first came out but the recent change to the taste has made us go to other brands. It is flat with an odd flavor. We all hate it. Why do they change a good thing?

Its 6/29/2019 I buy individual bottles of Pepsi and Diet Pepsi from the same place my dad gets his cigarettes because they have the coldest units in town. The last two days we have picked up diet Pepsi and there is a horrible aftertaste. Reminds me of the exact aftertaste when they removed Aspartame a few years back. I checked both bottles and both contain Aspartame and after doing some online research I don't see any other major recipe changes. My father is in his 60s and very set in his ways. He doesn't like any other soda product besides Diet Pepsi. I really hope this is just a bad batch the place we shop at picked up.

I buy Mountain Dew a lot, drink it every day. The bottles I have gotten the last few weeks have been flat and have a funny taste. This stuff costs too much to taste funny. It’s like it has little to no carbonation.

We have a Pepsi machine in our new air conditioned office. We store the inventory of pop in a cabinet next to the pop machine. I came into work this morning to pop running out of the cabinet and across the floor. There was at least 15 cans of different flavors that were leaking or completely empty. Took my co worker and I over 2 1/2 hours to clean up the sticky mess. It ruined the custom made cabinet! I took pictures and emailed Pepsi. Their response "We can replace the damaged cans"! Seriously???

I love Pepsi. It's my favorite soda but I am looking for a replacement because I have been consistently getting product that is either not sealed correctly and is flat or is so sticky and gross I have to wash it to clean it. I buy my product from 3 different grocery stores in my area and it happens at all 3. This just started over the last few months but it's not being remedied either and that's when I lose faith in a company.

Be aware that the bubbly cans from the strawberry line are exploding like bombs! We've had 2 bust open and both times our mini fridge door has blown open and had shards of metal in the door along with broken plastic shelves. Where the 2 cans busted are 2 holes that are the same size as the cans as they blew downward. This fridge was 2 days old and now has no working shelves as they've all been blown to bits.

We bought a 12 pack of the Regular Pepsi Minis at a Fry's store in Glendale AZ, the box was kept in a pantry at a cool temperature and the cans were not shaken but when we opened them, the top blew open in an explosive burst. The soda didn't spew out of the can as it usually does when the cans have been exposed to excessive heat or shaken. We still have a few cans left in the box. I love the size but I will not be buying any products that come in cans that particular size.

Pepsi ginger taste like poison and pills with a little ginger aroma. (Couldn't drink too much.) Pepsi max taste like poison and pills. (Couldn't drink too much.) Pepsi Classic is still 5 star for me. Price went up again today. I may not buy it any more. Use to drink 2-4 bottles (500ml) of pepsi classic per day. I don't like it when the bottle is more than 2 Liters and I usually go for maximum 1.25L.

My husband and I drink Mountain Dew in the can and live in Daytona Beach, Fl. We have noticed in the last few weeks, every can we open no matter the date or different locations we buy them at, are flat. I have bought cases where half were ok then the last half was flat. Purchased some out of a machine at Walmart and the same thing. I thought maybe it was just us but I decided to Google it to see if I'm losing my mind and find out I'm not the only one. What is going on with the product? I hope that this is not a permanent change in the recipe because oh my goodness it's nasty.

I have been a Pepsi customer for over 30 years. I recently bought an 8-pack of Pepsi Real Sugar 12 ounce bottles. This is my go to drink; however, when I opened every single bottle there was a pungent odor of alcohol. The flavor was horrendous - like someone mixed lemon lime flavoring with rubbing alcohol and just added the caramel coloring to make it pass for Pepsi. I opened every bottle in the 8 pack and there wasn't a single untainted bottle in the pack. Sorry, Pepsi, this is where I call it quits!

It has been over the last two years or so, but every couple of months, I will buy a 2 liter of either Mountain Dew or Pepsi, and it has an off taste to it. I usually end up with symptoms that resemble a stomach bug within a day of my 1st and only drink of these 2 liters. Whenever I get one of these, they usually have an odd taste, like the recipe is off or slightly dirty tasting. The next day, I will end up having pretty severe stomach problems that last for 2 -3 days! Anyone else having this happen in the last couple of years? Most recent example for me is today!

I don't know what's going on down there but it is getting sweeter and sweeter and it is now damn near undrinkable! Pepsi better do something about that. The prices keep going up. I'll just be switching to water.

I poured myself a glass of Diet Pepsi in a glass with ice and I tasted it and it tasted like poison. I poured it out and threw it out. I got the rest of the six pack that was left over and put it in a bag to take back to Publix to tell them and I noticed one of the lids had been tampered with so I’m assuming the one that I drank or took a sip out of have been tampered with with as well. I hope Pepsi will look into this when I take this back to Publix or if they see this to contact me while I still have them.

Mold in the bottle of G2 Lemon Lime - February 17, 2019. It was the second bottle from the 8 pack with an expectation date of 7-9-19. Bought it that week at the local grocery store along with 2 other 8 packs. I drank the first mouthful and didn’t really notice anything funky but I followed that up with another mouthful and could feel the slime or whatever in my mouth as I swallowed it!! As soon as it went down I coughed it up!! Checked the remaining GATORADE in the bottle to find that the bottle itself and the remaining fluid had a slime on it and floaters in the bottle. For the next 3 1/2 days I had a fever, chills, the sweats and uncontrollable diarrhea. From what I’m reading PepsiCo is aware of this people since I see post going back to as far as 09. The more I read this I kept finding more stories about the MOLD that they say it is.

I have been a Pepsi Max drinker for more years than I can remember, buying at least 3x24 cans per month. This year, 2019, I have had to toss out March expiry date cans as they have no taste and resemble black soda water. I have replaced them with August expiry date and all is well. I had been told that aspartame was the culprit as the product did not last long under hot conditions, and we have had record hot days perhaps so. However, the product should be withdrawn from sale when this happens.

I have been drinking Pepsi for approximately 60 plus years and this last couple of cases that I brought tastes piss-poor. Where has the flavor gone. I threw it out. Not the original; don't like any of the others that you have on the market either. Please always have the original available and make sure that it is stated on the packaging that this is the ORIGINAL PEPSI.

Something has been going on lately at Pepsi. Every time I buy a 12, 24, or 36 pack I am not sure what it's going to taste like. Sometimes it's unbearable to drink, sometimes you can tolerate. It's not like it used to be. I have called in to complain and they always take care of me etc., but I would like to know how I can help them get it fixed. How can in today's modern world be such a variation in product. You don't see this with other products. I know what it is supposed to taste like. I even gave friends cans to drink and they all agree. I have enjoyed Pepsi for 30 plus years. I wish they would take some things seriously or I and many others will be quitting. Maybe Pepsi cut out some jobs or is going with cheaper ingredients or something. This stuff lately tastes like Cheap Cola from dollar store and the prices continue to rise. Pepsi probably does not read this nor do they care. Too big for the little guy. Thanks.

I don’t know what’s going on but I have been drinking Mountain Dew daily for many many many years and all of a sudden in the last few days I have bought the 1-liter bottles as usual but they taste very strange... A friend of mine drinks the Diet and has also noticed it, we both have purchased from different places and notice the same thing. He also has drank it for many years, I have randomly asked a few other people if they notice a difference and they all have said the same. What’s going on?? I can’t stand the strange flavor and am sadly going to have to find something else now to drink.

About 6 months ago, I purchased 2 - 24 can packages of Pepsi from Brookdale ShopRite of Bloomfield, Nj online. There was a sale and I try to keep stocked. I drank the 2-liter bottles I had and left the cans for a later date. About 3 months ago, I noticed something leaking and discovered that at least half of the cans were at least partially empty, many completely empty, even though the cans were still sealed and there was no apparent holes in the cans.

73 year old always prefer Pepsi. In past with blind tasting I could tell the difference between Coke, Pepsi and Royal Crown. Preferred Pepsi then Royal Crown and last Coke because it was too sweet for me. Preferred beer in my older age but needed to drink less so went back to Pepsi and noticed immediately that it is not the Pepsi of old, taste is way off and not would rather drink plain Coke or just ice water. Would sure love to see something from PepsiCo that they are returning to the original recipe like Coke had to do years ago, and do it soon as hear PepsiCo is have financial troubles.

We provide our own sodas at this club. The bartender touched the flip top, the solid cover over the hole flipped up with a sound like a gunshot and burned her!!! It was awful!! I would like an explanation - a replacement. And an apology.

For the last few years & from no matter where I buy Diet Pepsi, Wal-Mart, Rite Aid or any other place, I'm encountering more and more bottle caps that are unable to be removed. I just struggled with a 1.25 L bottle, even using pliers, & while trying, my hand slipped & slammed onto the counter. Now my hand is throbbing with pain & starting to bruise. I have been a faithful Pepsi consumer for at least 25 years, but now I will to find a substitute. With all your profits PepsiCo, why can you not find a way to correct this painstaking & customer time consuming deficiency.

I bought four cases of regular Mountain Dew in 12 ounce cans. I purchased this product at two different locations in Miami Beach one at Publix and another at Walgreens. Every single can in each of the four cases contained flat Mountain Dew. The expiration date on the packaging was mid 2019. Again, every single can contained flat mountain dew and from two different locations and two different stores. I am about ready to never drink Mountain Dew again. I have been drinking it for more than 20 years. Disgusting!

I have been drinking Pepsi for most of my adult life… Daily. The last few weeks I have noticed that there is a taste and smell of oil to it all. I buy 8 to 10 (6 or 8 bottles per) packs at a time. My consumption has really slowed recently due to the fact that every time I open one I have the same experience. I’m hoping you’re checking water that you’re using very carefully, as I can’t think of another reason I would be having this experience. I find it hard to believe no one else is complaining of this. I’m finding myself drinking more coffee, even until the afternoon lately! I am missing my Pepsi… What is going on, or do you know?

Been drinking Pepsi for 30+ years, a few months ago I first noticed a can of Pepsi would go flat after just 20 mins of being open. Didn't think anything of it at first but every can or bottle I crack open lasts for maybe 15 mins until it's flat and disgusting. You either have to chug the entire contents immediately or it's wasted. Please for the love of God Mr or Mrs Pepsi fix this tragedy immediately or I promise you every Pepsi drinker in the world will switch to the dark side (Coke).

I first noticed the big change in the Taste of The Boss Pepsi Bottles around 1999, I sent 5 back to the company. They sent me 5 coupons for 5 more free. I got them and they were bad too. So I quit buying those. But I have been drinking Pepsi for at least 50 yrs. And they have just RUINED the good Pepsi taste in ALL OF THE PEPSI BOTTLES. That's the only soda that I like. I loved Pepsi. But now I just can't stand it. It's terrible! Flat, no flavor, no fizz, NOTHING. It's like drinking nasty colored water! I'm gonna start drinking Coke or Orange. I have to give up that Pepsi name. Because now it's just a name... Not a real Pepsi. This has been changing for a while, little by little. I can't find a real bottle of Pepsi anywhere! I hate it. I hope they will bring the Good Old Pepsi Cola back.

Many years ago Pepsi used to go flat in an hour. Then they fixed it and it would keep its fizz for hours. Now it is going back to being flat after an hour. I thought maybe they were just old stock, but looking at reviews I see it is happening all over.

I have been a loyal Pepsi drinker for years however for the last year it has changed, not for the better. I typically buy a 2 liter soda daily and my go to was always Pepsi. At first I thought maybe I was just getting unlucky buying a flat soda but it just kept happening. Sometimes the first drink would be okay then immediately goes flat. I got tired of wasting my money and have now switched to different products. I don't know why they messed with such a good product.

I have been drinking Pepsi ever since I can remember, it is the only soda I will drink. That is, until now. The first change I noticed was about 2 years ago, I was in my car and two cans, no joke, blew up like a bomb! The tops blew off both cans and they went from the back seat to the front like a launched rocket! This was not for leaving them in my car on a hot day either. When I picked up the cans I noticed immediately the cans were much thinner. So if anyone is out on a warm day with canned Pepsi I suggest you wear a helmet.

In the last few months I have returned 4-12 packs for being flat. Also have had three cans that the top of the can had separated from the bottom. I have come to expect 4 out of 5 cans to taste carbonated on the initial drink and then quickly go flat from there. The other can of the 5 is flat from the start. Having drank Pepsi for 45 years I am now looking to replace my go to drink.

I have been drinking Pepsi Max for years, however the cans I have bought recently just do not taste the same. Please, please Pepsi people will you revert back to the original recipe otherwise people will stop buying. I am almost 70 years old so I guess you have had a loyal customer for a long, long time so I know what I am talking about.

I'm 64 and have been drinking Pepsi since my teens. I am so extremely disappointed in the change you have made! I thought there was something wrong with my bottle of soda. It leaves a horrible taste in my mouth and maybe what finally gets me to stop drinking soda. So disappointed that I just purchased a 4 pack of 64 oz bottles!

Whatever PepsiCo did to Diet Pepsi it is horrible and flat. No other soda is this way. Even generic. I used to drink it exclusively from a kid but never again. I guess they do not care about their consumers because no one is going to want this.

Pepsi Max used to be my favourite low calorie soda, I enjoyed it as much as full sugar versions, I used to recommend it to everyone as much better than Coca Cola's equivalent, Coke Zero. I used to go out of my way to get Pepsi Max, if it wasn't available where I was shopping in the large 24 or 30 can packs I buy, I would shop somewhere else. However the last two 24 can batches I've bought have been horrendous! I bought one batch and tried 2 cans from it and was shocked, I assumed it was a dodgy batch. So I stupidly bought another 24 can pack from a different retailer. What an idiot I was, I should have got a single can, or small pack, because they were exactly the same.

I've been buying and drinking Diet Mountain Dew for over 20 years. The last 2 cases have a nasty metallic taste. I buy between 16-20 cases of Diet Mountain Dew every month for me and my family. I'm not sure exactly what has changed or if PepsiCo went to a new formula but the taste is horrible. I've read other complaints and reviews as to this same issue. I've been a loyal supporter of PepsiCo buying and drinking Diet Mountain Dew for over 20 years. If this is the new taste of Diet Mountain Dew then I will have to stop drinking and buying from PepsiCo. I really don't want to find a new drink but I need to drink more water and if Diet Mountain Dew stays with this new horrible formula then I have to make a change because I can't stand the metallic taste any longer. Coca-Cola here I come as your new client!

I took a swallow of Pepsi & felt something go across my tongue & down my throat! I look at the bottle and it has something nasty floating around in it. What the hell should do? Am I going to get sick, do I go to the doctor or ER??

56 years old-Diet Pepsi has been “my go to” for probably 40 plus years. Bought 2 cases, 5 minutes after opening each can, was FLAT as can be. Ok, thought I got bad batch. Purchased a 12 pack, at different store with different expiration date. Same experience! So, what went wrong? Aspartame? Wow, gotta say, so sad! Well, guess it is time to switch to water anyway. My doctor will thank you. I am sure Doctors all over the world will be thrilled if your product stays the same or your competitors will!

Pepsi has LIED with their Advertising stating "Same Great Taste!!!" Pepsi: The 'Same Great Taste' of Pepsi sucks big time. I have been drinking Pepsi since I was 5 years old. I am 64 now. I don't know why you LIED about changing the taste, but you did... I would spend well over $300 a month just on me getting Pepsi... However, My family (14 members) estimates they USED to spend over $1800.00 a month on Pepsi Products (their estimation, not mine), but are now buying from your rival. If it was your goal to drive away business, 'Congratulations', you did it!

I recently bought Pepsi. The can says, "Made with real sugar." I've been drinking Pepsi since I was a teenager (my husband works for Coke). I have opened 3 so far. They all have a weird chemical smell and DO NOT taste a thing like my beloved Pepsi. It is truly horrible! What in the world has changed?? I can't stand it! It tastes like some kind of poison, with a weird aftertaste. I hope someone sees all these horrible reviews and takes action.

We bought a 12 pack of can Pepsi tonight and one so far we opened is contaminated with poison or some type of machine oil. It smells retching like our horse's urine and is an abnormal color! We need a representative to contact us immediately please!

I would just like to say my experience with a 20 oz bottle of Mountain Dew was ridiculous. I purchased and went to my car. I tried many times to open it and it was sooo tight the process blistered my hand and broke the skin. So I traveled down the road a ways and stopped at a RaceTrac gas to get someone to try and open it or change it out. Fortunately the gentleman there was able to open it but not without difficulty himself. What a great inconvenience.

Diet Pepsi has returned to aspartame and it tastes terrible. This soda formula sweetness quickly degrades, especially if it is stored warm for relatively short periods (a few weeks). Once it degrades the taste is flat and leaves a bad aftertaste. Pepsi needs to return to the sucralose formula and stick with it. I would buy 6-12 bottles/week when the Diet Cherry-Cola Pepsi went on sale for $1/bottle. Pretty sure no one at Pepsico even looks at these reviews, so it'll be enough to make my statement and cease to buy Pepsi products going forward. With the slow death of Coke, thank goodness for Diet Rite Cola!!!!

I have bought 4 6 pack plastic bottles and have 2 cases of cans. I didn't realize they changed the ingredients. It's awful and now I'm stuck with all this Pepsi I can't hardly drink. They need to change it back. I'm done buying Pepsi. Going to call the company tomorrow and see if I can't get some of money back. Threw a lot of it down the drain.

I have had 3 cases of Pepsi since last Christmas. They were all the new "old" cans that are red/white/blue. This Pepsi tastes flat compared to the old blue cans. I will no longer be drinking Pepsi. Sure am glad it is summer when iced tea is plentiful. I have no idea why you would change the recipe, but I have noticed the local fast food places have canceled Pepsi and replaced it with Coke. Must have raised prices, too. Soda that tastes flat is NEVER okay. The instant it hits the ice cubes it is flat. I wonder who I can sell the last 1/2 of a case to? I will not be drinking it. I had thought I had just gotten some old stock, but no, all of it is terrible. After 60 years with Pepsi, I am no longer in Love.

I've been a Pepsi drinker since junior high -- way back in the early 80's. It's always been my favorite beverage, the sweet, smooth drink that made me feel better after a bad day. But these days the "Retro" Pepsi just ruins my days. I like the retro design of the cans, but the taste is horrid. Bitter, flat, and just plain gross. I won't be buying anymore until PepsiCo goes back to the old formula.

I have also been a long time fan of Pepsi products. I used to always have a Diet Pepsi in hand. My nieces even started calling me Bink (due to JarJar Binks on your Pepsi commercial lol. Yep that long ago). Well, the nickname stuck but... sadly I stopped drinking Diet Pepsi when you started messing with recipes. My niece called me up & was excited to tell me that the original diet Pepsi was back out on shelves. I immediately bought a couple cases. Oh man, my soul was crushed! It wasn't the same. I almost cried. I reluctantly went back to Diet Coke. What happened Pepsi? Hardest breakup I've went thru!

I have been drinking Diet Pepsi for years, I have never had a problem with getting the bottle open, the caps are put on so tight that it makes my fingers sore. I think your machines should be adjusted. This is my favorite drink, so please make this right.

Bold-faced lie that it’s the same great taste. I’ve been drinking Pepsi for the last 30 years and have stopped drinking it due to the change. I hope that Pepsi changes back to the old recipe but until that happens I will no longer drink nor purchase Pepsi products. I currently find myself going to older stores with not so much volume to find the old cans or bottles to purchase, but how long will that last.

Since you switched to the new old style design cans from the blue cans, I will say this. The taste of the new Pepsi is gross and is nowhere the same taste. I am a long time Pepsi drinker (since I was 13) and you have destroy the true Pepsi taste that everyone loves. I don't know what you are using now, but you are losing customers because it is not the same and it's sick to drink them. You better listen to your customers or you going to be out of business because I noticed that a lot of the food joints are switching back to Coca-Cola and I wonder why.

I noticed the retro cans and have to say I like them! I stopped drinking Pepsi when the lowercase logo was used. I did not like the lowercase logo and did not know anyone who did like it. But since you released the retro logo I have been buying Pepsi cans in bulk. I will continue to drink Pepsi as long as you keep the retro cans. This is the can everybody identifies with when they think of Pepsi, it does not matter their age, for some reason that design has stood the test of time.

Pepsi changed its sweetener and it did not taste good. Last year they brought back the classic diet Pepsi. It was so good that was once again all I would buy and drink. Then the classic disappeared again. I was livid. So yesterday I found out that Pepsi was making the aspartame diet Pepsi its main diet again. I run to the store and buy 3 1/2 packs. I was so excited to get my favorite drink back. I got home and put one in the freezer. Got it out took a big drink and yuck the aspartame is in there but the formula has to be different. It even smelled different.

I am an addict. I drink anywhere from 8-10 cans of Pepsi a day for 20+ years. I drink regular Pepsi from the time I wake up until about 7pm then I switch to decaffeinated until I go to bed. My teen years I was strictly a Coke drinker. The “new look” can of Pepsi tastes horrible. It tastes flat. It tastes nothing like the Pepsi in the blue can. I have been waking up every single morning with a migraine from hell. The deactivated Pepsi still tastes great but I need my caffeine. You need to switch back. I’m getting ready to switch back to Coke. Pepsi is now disgusting!!!

Been drinking Pepsi for over 50 years. I am 70 and over 4 cans a day so that is a lot of the good old PEPSI and as for the new Pepsi in the red white blue cans I can't even drink one. It taste like cramp so if you are going to say same great flavor make it be the same great flavor, The red white blue shows love to the USA. Like that part but the taste is so bad I'll start drinking something else, until PEPSI starts listening to the public and give us the great old taste back. Some changes are not good. So go back to the old recipe.

I have been happily addicted to Pepsi-Max for years. Lately, it has tasted different. It tastes like soda water with no actual Pepsi flavor. It is horrible. I have decided after over a decade of devoted addiction to stop drinking it. I don't know what they have done to it, but it is wretched.

I've been drinking Pepsi for years. Suddenly I take a sip and dump the rest. It's nasty! I think real sugar is ok but the reg Pepsi is horrible!! You just lost a loyal Pepsi drinker. WHAT DID YOU DO TO PEPSI IN 2018?? YOU DESTROYED IT.

Agree with other users. I’m a loyal Diet Pepsi drinker and have been for many years. Literally almost the only thing I drink. I’ve started noticing that they taste different recently and are leaving a gross aftertaste. Never thought I’d switch but I can’t drink this!! Switching to water or unsweetened ice tea.

I've been drinking Pepsi for quite some time and as soon as this new design came out, I've been telling everyone that it doesn't taste even remotely the same! I am very disappointed to be writing this review because Pepsi is legitimately the ONLY soda I drink. I hate anything else. Coca-Cola does the job every once in awhile when I'm at a restaurant or something of the like. But it's nothing compared to Pepsi. I actually purchased Coke from the store this week instead of my usual Pepsi. Never in my years did I think I would make such a change. It's embarrassing to walk up to the counter buying a pack of this "new Pepsi". The can looks terrible and the taste is even more so. Everything each one of these reviewers have said is all true. The taste is flat, bitter, and leaves a terrible aftertaste. I'm writing this to officially say I am joining the others in refusing to purchase Pepsi until we get the old stuff back!

Drank Diet Pepsi with Aspartame for years and stopped immediately when they switched to Sucralose (too sweet, no lemon taste, flat taste). Supposedly Pepsi has returned to using Aspartame and is calling it "classic taste"! NO WAY!!! SOMETHING IS WRONG! It still tastes like sucralose & leaves a horrible aftertaste!

I've been an avid Pepsi drinker since I was 14 and I'm 35 now. It's all I've drank for years! And let me tell you as long as you keep the retro cans I will never drink another Pepsi! The pop in the new retro cans taste nothing like the Pepsi in the blue cans! I truly hope you guys listen.

The new white labelled Pepsi is either coming from the factory flat with or they're doing something different. I hope they'll listen to all the complaints and fix it, but I'm quite sure they'll never listen to us. Anytime a company changes their product its main objective is to SAVE MONEY. They accomplish this by making a change to its formula or by giving us less product. With the new tax plan and the savings these companies are getting, should mean they can give the customer a little break in one way or another. But I'm quite certain they won't and that savings will go to the CEO, and his/her butt kissers???

I’m not a big soda drinker but I do love some soda in occasion. And recently I had the Pepsi in the new retro can and it tastes like medicine. When you pour it into ice it goes completely flat. And I thought my taste buds were crazy but when I looked in the old ingredients and new ingredients (in retro can) I notice something different. They took out high fructose corn syrup. I think that’s why it tastes different. I think they took it out because high fructose corn syrup is bad for health but jeez we’re going to die one way or another.

I started drinking diet Pepsi this winter. Loved it, loved the taste. I've always drank reg Pepsi but I switched cause of my weight. I also changed to diet cause it was without Aspartame. Aspartame causes cancer...then I noticed a change in the flavor and realized it has aspartame in it again. I'm upset beyond belief after reading complaints about aspartame being removed that people were upset. I don't want to stop drinking Pepsi cause Coke sucks... I LOVE PEPSI but can't find the aspartame free soda anymore. What do I do? Thank you.

Whatever change Diet Pepsi has recently made is horrible. I have always loved Diet Pepsi. This current change is horrid. The new taste is flat, sweet, and so far from the typical taste I am considering ANY drink before it. Please reconsider this change!

I have been drinking Diet Pepsi since the 80's. Suddenly the taste has changed. I've bought it in 10 six pack batches the last two weeks to try to get a better taste and it is HORRID. I have also bought it out of the vending machines. I will be quitting this product if they can't bring the good taste back. It tastes syrupy and very weak.

Bold-faced lie that it’s the same great taste. I’ve been drinking Pepsi for the last 13 years and have stopped drinking it due to the change in recipe. I hope that Pepsi changes back to the old recipe but until that happens I will no longer drink nor purchase Pepsi products.

PepsiCo insists they haven't changed the recipe of the traditional Pepsi, while at the same time introducing a new retro can. It's now very flat and tastes murky, like stale iced tea. I poured a can of each (old blue can, new white can) into identical drinking glasses and there's an obvious visual difference. I just scooped up the last of the blue cans off the shelves of my local retailers. This will be the last Pepsi that I will ever buy unless a change is made back to the old recipe. Been drinking this stuff for 40 years. I can't help but notice the cans say "Same great taste" rather than "Same product" or the like. It allows for some level of deniability should they fess up at some later date after people stop buying. Pepsi entirely and move onto something else. What they have done is tantamount to corporate suicide.

I have gone through quite a bit of trouble just to write this review. Filling out ALL of my personal information to create an account, find and confirm email, check this box and another box. Evidently it means a lot for me to tell you that the new retro Pepsi is flat and terrible! Same great taste is an absolute lie. Please don’t insult dedicated Pepsi drinkers by continuing to make that claim. Awful! I really cannot drink this anymore. I googled just to find out if anyone else felt the same way or perhaps it was just a personal problem with my taste buds...then I found these reviews... My my my- please Pepsi- please stop.

The new Retro Pepsi can is cool but the taste is horrible!!! I have been drinking Pepsi for over 40 years and loved it! This new taste is flat and tastes more like Coke. :-( Please, Please bring the old Pepsi back!!! I hate it so bad I’m not drinking it anymore. I guess I’ll try Dr. Pepper!!!

New white can Pepsi doesn't taste the same as the blue Pepsi. Says it tastes the same as blue, but it sure doesn't. Bring back the blue Pepsi label and recipe now!!! I've been drinking Pepsi 40 years and could instantly taste the difference between the white and blue can. Don't mess with a legacy.

I got a sweet deal at my local Harris Teeter for some five twelve packs for ten dollars and so I got the new retro design Pepsi because I thought the new logo looked cool, in my opinion. Got home, threw one in the freezer to get it cold while the rest chilled in the refrigerator. I cracked it open as soon as it got cold enough and I was given the most awful taste I have even tasted with Pepsi. I've been drinking Pepsi since I was a kid and I'm twenty-two now and I'm calling ** on that, "Same great taste" on the front of your new logo. I would be along side the rest of these people telling you the different taste of it and everything but it literally took you guys giving me one can of this new crap Pepsi then when I took one sip I spit it out and about gagged on the smell of it after recovering from how awful it tasted.

This NEW Pepsi SUCKS!!! I'm totally disappointed. I won't drink any more of it, and I've been a Pepsiaholic for over 30 years. Are you guys going out of business? Just because everyone else has changed their designs and product, doesn't mean you have to... You've got lots and lots of Pepsi fans, but you won't if you keep this nasty crappy flat crap. We want our old Pepsi back!!! Or we're all switching to Coke, then you will be out of business... Listen to the people. Before it's too late.

Why is there a horrible new taste with the new Pepsi can design?!? Been drinking Pepsi for 20 years and love it. Thought maybe it was a fluke with the case so bought 2 more from different store and they taste just as bad! Waste of money! They taste flat. I don't know how else to describe it. Why Pepsi!!?

I am a lifelong Pepsi drinker. Loyal to the core. Couldn't get me to drink anything else. Something has dramatically changed in the past couple of months. There​ is no longer that hint of lemon that set Pepsi apart and it always seems to be mostly flat. Rather than switch to something else I've just been drinking water. It's healthier anyway. I loved my Pepsi the way it was and hate it now. If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT! Please reverse whatever it was you did and all will be forgiven.

I just bought a case of Mountain Dew and it is flat and taste disgusting. I paid almost 8 dollars for it and what a waste of money. I've been drinking this for a while now and maybe I need to change due to the disgusting taste of whatever you did to it.

I am beyond disappointed with the taste of the new retro design! I have been drinking Pepsi for 25 years and this is definitely different! There is no umph to it, tastes flat! For the first time ever, I am considering switching to Coke. I bought my first one tonight and it was satisfying in comparison! This is not the same great taste!

Pepsi Blue bottle to Pepsi white bottle (the same great taste) It's Not The Same! (Sorry guys and girls.) What did you change? I have been drinking Pepsi since 2002-3, I know it cannot be me, I am 66 years old and that's all I have drank is Pepsi. Always thought it was the best flavored soda especially when you changed to the solid blue bottles. I don't drink anything else but Pepsi, Why did you have to change the way it's being made? Something's wrong and by now you must know it with all the complaints. I find it to be too weak plain flavor, whereas before it had a zing to it. Good flavor, and the zing is gone. And the flavor got weak, after making my purchase at CVS recently on 5 bottles this is what I found.

I am now on my 3rd 24 pack of Pepsi with the white retro cans. They say, same great taste but it's not. It's flat right from the start. Even opening the can doesn't have the same umph. After it's open it starts to taste soapy. This is ridiculous. I've drank Pepsi every day for 30 years. They've done something to the recipe while claiming not to have changed anything. I will give it a try once the cans switch back but I think we've seen the last of our Pepsi taste. I'll be finding something made by Coca-Cola from now on.

I've been drinking Pepsi for years. I go to bed with a Pepsi. Wake up with a Pepsi start my day. I just bought a 24 case of Pepsi 2 days ago and it tastes horrible. I don't know what y'all did to it but take it back to the old Pepsi. It stinks. It's nasty. The color is unbelievable and the label I don't like it. Go back or I'm going to Coke products.

The ingredients read the same but when you have drank something for 30 yrs almost every day you know the taste and yes it is different with the new white retro label and it's total crap that they would so that to their customers and try to play off like they did nothing different. Not everybody wants that nasty artificial sugar and it's makes no sense why they would treat their customers like we are stupid and just won't be able to tell. I have sent 30 yrs worth of Pepsi to be tested and can't wait to see what the results will tell me as I am positive they will confirm my suspicions.

I bought a 6 pack of mini cans of Pepsi, been a Pepsi drinker since I was a kid, one of the cans tasted like chemicals, the color was off and the top of the can smelled like pet urine. I got sick from that one gulp. I took pictures of it. I am forever done with Pepsi. I bought at least 2 24 packs a week, but not anymore.

Back the end of November I bought 18 12pks of Pepsi while they were on sale. (You couldn't give them to me now) much less buy anymore. My complaint is that they had a horrible chemical taste and the cans smell like a combination of chemicals and gasoline when emptied. Not to mention what the inside of the can looks like, it's absolutely disgusting. After I looked at this site I called and spoke to someone at Pepsi and they said no other complaints had been made, sent me a kit to send them some samples and coupons for 3 free 12 pks. That's a waste because I have not drank one since and don't plan on buying or drinking anymore.

So, when shopping Wal-Mart last week, I noticed that the only Pepsi I could find were in this new throwback design and I thought that was weird... But since it was all there was I bought it. I got home and tried it and I was disgusted by the taste. If I what you did, but undo it.

I have recently purchased 4 eight count bottles of Pepsi. The packaging has changed so I doubled checked to make sure I was getting the right one. My complaint is it doesn't taste the same. I get a flat taste. You're losing a loyal Pepsi drinker.

Been a Pepsi drinker for 30 plus years on a daily basis. Never had a problem before but most of the two liters I buy taste like plastic. My opinion is that they are outdated and the distributor isn’t rotating the Pepsi's when they bring it in the store.

I am not one to rant but I will say this short and simple.. change back to the original taste of Pepsi or I will change to Coke!! You guys have messed with the taste. It’s flat and has absolutely no taste... remember when Coke “changed their formula”? That did not go over well either.. Pepsi has always been my favorite soda but no more. I will not buy any more Pepsi until the original taste is restored... NASTY.

I've been drinking Pepsi for years. It no longer has burst of carbonation when you open it nor when you drink it. Now it has a flat chemical like taste that lingers in the mouth. I also agree with the other consumers' complaints. My one and only favorite soda for carbonation and taste I no longer can find. PepsiCo what have you done? I also noticed you have added new flavors and changed logos. Why do this when you are not listening to us dedicated consumers. No one cares about a new look or flavors when the original Pepsi taste is disgusting. Your priority should be focused on getting the named sodas mentioned in the complaints reformulated back to their original taste. Why change what was already good?

My recent purchases of Diet Pepsi have been very disappointing. The taste has changed and it's not the aspartame. It is now some funky taste. I have bought several 12 packs and several 36 packs from a local BJ's and now I have this funny taste every time I open a can. What happened to the regular taste that had before? Why does it taste so funny now? You guys need to fix it.

I'm a 73 year old woman who has drank Pepsi my whole life. I don't drink coffee or any other soda. Lately I have been unable to start my day with my Pepsi. Every cube, 12 pack and bottles have an unusual taste and have been flat. Have you changed the formula or what is going on. Maybe my little 12 pack a day may not hurt your overall sales but I bet I'm not the only person with this problem.

I thought at first it was my imagination and then I went online and discovered others have had similar experiences. I just checked the use by date --- July 2017 and August 2017... Wow, I just bought these and have never checked the use by date ever in my over 20 years of drinking Pepsi. So... is the problem that I bought 'old' Pepsi? I didn't know it could go bad... Never had this experience before, ever. I'm going to try to return the ones that I haven't opened. What a hassle and has left a 'bad taste' in my mouth-- in many ways. I'd love to know what goes 'bad' and if I buy the product within the use by date I won't have the issue.

I am truck driver, addicted to Mtn. Dew. Not a good thing to begin with, but as such, I buy 12 pks of Mtn. Dew in Mo, Il, Ks, Co, Oh, and In. Over the course of this year, it has begun to taste awful! Not sure what y'all changed but it is nasty. This last 12 pk tastes super carbonated with soft water when you first open it, then completely flat by the end. Tastes like it is watered down with 7 Up with none of the bite, with an indescribable aftertaste! Please change it back. I don't want to have to look for a new soda? But I will.

I was a Coke drinker for years. Never drank Pepsi until I married my husband 15 years ago. It was a big change... Now I'm going back to COKE. There is something wrong with the taste. You might get a decent tasting Pepsi every once in a while. Now today I buy a cube that is horrible tasting. Would like to take it back but live 30 miles from town. What is the problem that it never tastes the same twice and no Fizz. Going back to Coke. More people than I have the same complainant. Fix the problem or keep losing Pepsi drinkers... but maybe you just don't care. You should care... without all of us Pepsi drinkers you won't need to produce it anymore.

I live in England and have also been a Pepsi drinker for many years. 3 weeks ago I bought my usual ten 500ml bottles from my usual shop. When I opened one I noticed it didn't seem as fizzy, and then I drank some!! I thought it had been 'tampered' with. Then I opened another, and another, but they were all the same. I took them back to the shop and found an assistant. He said, "I know, they're flat, I've had other complaints it must be a bad batch. Just go and get some more. Anyway, they were all the same. They also had the same 'use by' date so I wondered if that was it." I bought a bottle from another shop with a different date on. Needless to say, that too was the same. I seriously thought it was me, although as a friend said, "If you don't know the taste, no one does."

Mountain Dew - When the cans were dark green, with the mountains on it, the soda was amazing and was by far absolutely the best. When you guys switched to this light green can, it tastes like garbage. I thought I was delusional until my work over the summer gave me another can of the dark green after a couple months with this light green can, and there is definitely a difference. Whatever you guys did, change it back. Lots of people have complained about this issue and you are losing customers fast.

Just opened a can of Pepsi and it had a weird taste to it. It's was like a chemical taste and also comes with a bad odor. I just hope I didn't take a drink of anything that will harm me. This has been by far the worst experience!!

Last week, the week of September 17, 2017, I started searching for answers about why a strange taste has replaced the old tastes of Mountain Dew. I do not enjoy this taste at all. To me, Mountain Dew has begun to taste watery and muted. Dew used to always have a strong, well defined, entirely pleasant, bite to each sip. Now, I can tell something has changed for the worse. Over the years, I felt I could sense minute changes in the taste. In the past, the changes were noticeable but not so significant that they changed my opinion about Mountain Dew.

I have been a Pepsi and Mt. Dew drinker for as long as I can remember. For the last 3 maybe 4 months their tastes have changed. The Pepsi doesn't hold a fizz and the taste is just plain flat. With the Mt. Dew the taste is generic and awful. Experimenting with classics is not a good thing, please change them back or I'll have to try a Coke...

For the last 6 months every 6 pack of Pepsi that I purchase is flat. One bottle may have a little fizz but it won't be there long. I do not know if they decreased the carbonation, changed the packaging or drop each 6 pack before placing it on the shelf. When you drink Pepsi every day this is a problem. Trying to get used to Coke. :(

I have NEVER complained about any product ever. However, I have always (for years) kept Mountain Dew as MY drink. Lately I noticed that I never finish a can anymore, ever! It just tastes cheap. I will no longer buy it, not in protest or anything like that, but because I just don't like it. Why in the world they change successful products. I'm not a Pepsi drinker but it's apparently being done to the Pepsi drinkers too. I don't get it but I doubt the company gives a damn what we think.

Really Pepsi Cola? Pepsi in the last year has tasted nasty, also, it has no fizz. You sit it down, and go back to it, 10 minutes later and it's flatter than it was when I first took a drink. Your soda will not be in my buggy at my local grocery store anymore.

I have drank Pepsi for over 20 years. I love Pepsi!!! I look forward to my Pepsi first thing in the morning and lately it's tasted flat. The last 3 cases of Pepsi I bought were flat & I ended up throwing them away. I decided to buy 12 pks in hopes that one of them would be carbonated and also taste good. Out of the last 6 12 pks I've purchased all were flat & didn't taste good! I always check the exp. date too. Something's wrong!!! Can you please look into this & fix this problem or change whatever it is you're doing! This is very frustrating! I can't imagine changing brands of pop, but as of now I won't be drinking Pepsi!!! Thank you!

Mountain Dew no longer tastes like the premium soda it once was. It now resembles the taste of the knock-off store brands. What is going on here? Why should I pay a higher amount for a sub-standard product? This complaint is based on the last 3 bottles I have sampled, purchased from two separate locations. It seems to me recent taste changes are intentional. Well since I will only be using it as a mix for my whiskey, from now on, the knock-off brands will suffice.

I have drank Pepsi for years so I know what it should taste like. Lately, (and I mean in the past 2 weeks,) I have bought several different six packs of 20 ounce bottles which have each been flat and had less taste. I am so disappointed because Pepsi is my absolute favorite drink but if it's going to be flat I will not drink it! Has anyone else noticed this?! Because I cannot be the only one.

As of 2017 Mountain Dew no longer taste right. This company trying to save pennies on sweetener has killed mountain dew. I have drank mountain dew for years and now it's yuck. I bought my last case! Please change it back! Can number 1111TT062872.

I love (D) regular Pepsi - My mom is (was) a Pepsi-holic but I was telling her the other day how my Pepsi's didn't taste good anymore and she said "I know and I called them and told them about it too." LOL. Anyway Pepsi, please changed back whatever you changed because I can't even drink Pepsi anymore due to the new bad taste. I can see a lot of people feel the same way so something has changed and it would be nice if you all changed it back :) Thanks in advance, Sad use to be Pepsi drinker.

I am pretty much a Mountain Dew addict and have been for years. I am not a conspiracy theorist saying that the new can style means a change in flavor. What I am saying is I no longer enjoy the taste of Mountain Dew since the can style has changed and it makes me believe the formula has changed as well. To back that statement up, I recently went to a dated, hardly used Pepsi machine in my city and was surprised when the old style Mountain Dew can came out. I didn't think too much of it until I opened it up and drank the first gulp and it was like I hadn't had the real thing in months! The old style can had a totally different flavor than what I had been drinking in the newer styled can. I don't know what you did, but I don't like it.

My family has been drinking Mountain Dew for years, but after the last batch we bought we will no longer being buying your product. According to my family the Mountain Dew we bought taste awful! I have seen other sites with people complaining about the awful taste. I just want to know what do you plan to do about it? Because from what I've read if you don't you stand to lose business. Including ours. I don't know what you did to the formula but it wasn't a great move. Just my opinion. But who am I but a consumer. Thanks for your time.

Been drinking Diet Mountain Dew for years. Now, the aftertaste is AWFUL! Won't be purchasing another... ever. It tastes almost sour and soapy. Purchased from all different retail locations and even different sizes. Have found a few with the old formula, but won't be wasting my money searching. (Please bring back the old formula.)

All Mountain Dews Taste Like Cheap 50 Cent Colas. I have been drinking Mountain Dew for decades, since the 1980s. There is no doubt in my mind that as of 2017, the formula for this product and its spin-offs has drastically changed, and for the worse. Not only don't they even come close to tasting like Mountain Dew, they taste no differently from cheap knockoff sodas like Tropical Fantasy. They're nothing but corn-syrup-flavored carbonated water with a little bit of food coloring and some light artificial flavor thrown in for good measure. Another thing - the original line of Mountain Dew (not the crappy offshoots like Voltage and Blast, which are just as bad, but the first one) has a strong aftertaste of detergent. When I first encountered this issue I thought I had come across a bad batch, but I tried three more bottle and it was the same result.

I have been a Mountain Dew drinker for 30+ years. I recently switched to 12 oz bottles. Amazing at first. Now bottle caps are crooked, soda is flat, threw them out. Dissatisfied with 12 oz bottles, will NOT purchase them. Diabetic trying to stop drinking 20 oz bottles.

Lifetime Mt. Dew drinker... Supporter... Lover. Without any notice not only did the beautiful shade of green on the label changed. Someone was stupid enough to change the recipe for the original Mt. Dew. WHY in the world would you mess with a good thing??? The new recipe is disgusting. Haven't had my Dew since. So dissatisfied... So disappointed.

What happened to the old Pepsi and Mountain Dew? Their taste is not the same. Will not purchase it anymore! Sticking with Coca Cola products. Is this the way you want your business to go-to the competitor? Change back to the original formulas and your consumers will come back.

I have drinked Mountain Dew for 40 years and loved it. The taste has now been changed to something that tastes like Bubble Gum. I cannot stand this new taste and refuse to purchase this product as long as it tastes like it now does. Please change it back. Why did you mess with a great thing?

What went wrong Mt. Dew? After 33 year I'm done drinking it. The new formula is terrible. Still finding the old products in stores but my old formula Dew is running out. Fix the problem or prepare for big losses. Cause regular Dew drinkers are not coming back till the old formula comes back.

I am very disappointed with my soda experience. My parents bought a whole 12 can box of Pepsi. When I opened it, I took my usual drink and the Pepsi tasted so weird and disgusting. Normally it would taste so delicious but now it tastes like soap and something gross mixed in. Please fix this very gross problem! I'm already switching to Coke or Mello Yello.

Mountain Dew was always my go to drink when feeling sluggish... So to my surprise a few months ago when I purchased a 20 oz bottle it was the worst tasting drink ever. I thought it was just a bad batch... Not So! After purchasing a few different cans and bottles I realize the formula was changed. Why, why, why would you this to such a great tasting drink!! Please bring back the original flavor. This stuff tastes and smells like old, old motor oil. (Not that I've had motor oil).

Why did you change a good product. Mountain Dew lost its great taste. It taste like crap now. Very dissatisfied with what you all did to our favorite soda. Do it right or don't Dew it at all. Fix this problem and go back to the clean crisp great taste Dew use to have.

Why have you changed the formula for Mt Dew? It tastes like crap now. I have been a big Dew drinker for many years and I am highly disappointed that you have done this!!! I implore you folks to change it back if not, I will switch over to Coke's Mello Yello or some other company's version that is close to Dew. I don't want to have to do this, but you will leave me with no choice. Change it back!!!

This was my favorite treat. You guys seem to have changed the formula for regular Mountain Dew. You may not have announced it but we sure can tell. It has an obnoxious medicinal flavor that gradually overwhelms the flavor of the product; then bit sits in your mouth and makes you feel sick. It is so gross. I won't be buying it anymore and I'm tossing the stuff I bought.

When Pepsi came out with Pepsi-Cola made with real sugar, I tried it when it first came out. I had gotten away from all drinks with corn syrup. I really enjoyed the taste of the Pepsi with real sugar, as did my family and friends. Now, for the last three months, everyone I know, including my family and I noticed a awful taste. To me, the taste is a mixture of Seven-Up with something else, but no one likes it. It is absolutely awful tasting!! This is the third time in a month and this bad taste continues. It does not matter which store I buy from, the awful taste is the same. This taste reminds me of when Coke changed their flavor. I have noticed the same end taste, just like Coke had. I am going back to my unsweetened Kool-Aid and will put my Splenda in it. Better for me anyway.

I've been an avid regular Pepsi drinker for 40 years. Even when a family member became branch manager for Coke, I never strayed. Recently bought 2 16 oz. bottles at Dollar General, really funky taste. Went to Chevron and bought 20 oz Pepsi and yummy. Bought a 8 pack 16.9 oz. Pepsi and ok taste. All bottles look same (size diff) finally noticed 16 oz., 200 calories, 16.9 oz., 210 calories and 20 oz., 250 calories. That's only difference but why does smaller one taste so horrible? Bottles look exactly same! I can't find answers anywhere. I get the calorie difference due to size of bottle but what's up with horrible taste?

I have just opened a bottle of Pepsi Max and quite frankly it tastes disgusting and I was wondering if someone tampered with it!! It tasted really nasty and that's putting it mildly!! It does not even taste like Pepsi Max! If this is how it tastes then I certainly will NOT be buying any more of it! I wonder why it tastes so bad, back to Diet Coke for me!!

I am a Pepsi Max drinker. I've been drinking it for years. Sometimes Pepsi Max is hard to find. But I go from store to store to find it. One of my favorite stores tells me that Pepsi Max is no longer available!!! I am very upset about this news. My store has a Pepsi sale going on now, I actually had to choose something I don't want. Pepsi Max is the only drink I truly enjoy. Then, on Pepsi's site I see that someone complained about it being too sweet. I had that same problem with other diet drinks, that's when I found Pepsi Max. I would like this person to do a taste test. You will find that Pepsi Max is the best choice! I'm asking PepsiCo to please continue making Pepsi Max. I know other people, friends and acquaintances who feel the same way. PLEASE DO NOT stop the production of Pepsi Max!!!

If anyone is a lover of Pepsi Twist/Diet Pepsi Twist you can order Pepsi Twist from Amazon. Unfortunately it is expensive. If you are a Pepsi Twist lover, please email Pepsi and/or call their Consumer Relations number. I was a Tab drinker for over 20 years then switched to Diet Pepsi Twist. After a short period of time Pepsi Twist/Diet Pepsi Twist production came to a halt! I was told by the manager of the local Pepsi Plant that the company lost money on Pepsi Twist because they had to dispose of a large quantity of Pepsi Twist that was out date. The manager said that the only size that was really popular were the 12oz can/12 packs but they continued to manufacture all of the sizes that Pepsi offered. As you can probably guess, the plant continued to have outdated product that needed to be thrown away.

Went last year this time around sept and the year before and this year same time of the year and boom lost my time and money again. Called them got some coupons. Was happy then we had our family get together and boom 5 out of 7 cases of dews bad. Called they would do nothing. Said they needed the receipts. Who saves them? ME NOW! SO THEY NEED TO RESEARCH THEIR PRODUCT CONTROL! Do your jobs people!!!

I've started drink Pepsi and Coke on occasion and the cans of Pepsi that come from store, warm, are awful. Whether you pour over ice warm or refrigerated them the flat stale taste happens quick. Small amount of carbonation when poured but that lasts 2 minutes. Coke is better so unfortunately bye to the Pepsi taste I remember.

We have enjoyed Pepsi for years. We were very disappointed In the last 24 pack of diet Pepsi we purchased at Sam's. The case was sitting on the lower shelf of cabinet when we noticed a puddle of cola on floor. As a result 2/3 of Case leaked. Read several reviews as far back as 1/2015. So why hasn't this problem been resolved. Corporate greed???

I was a loyal Diet Pepsi drinker for 40 years. Then out of left field Pepsi changes to sucralose 100%? No consumer input, taste testing or involvement. I tried it. It was horrible, having a long lasting aftertaste, no fizz. It broke my Diet Pepsi habit. I called Pepsi and was informed Pepsi knows best? They must have cut a sweet lucrative deal with sucralose to drop aspartame so quick.

When you removed aspartame because some people insisted on believing it is "bad" no matter what the scientific facts are, and replaced it with sucrose, I was not happy and told you so. I do NOT like the taste of sucrose, and now quite often drink Diet Coke because they were not foolish enough to bend to those who shout loudest. Today I read that a study published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health has conclusively shown that sucrose can cause cancer. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has officially recommended that consumers avoid sucrose. Now, will you take the horrid tasting and dangerous stuff out of my Diet Pepsi and put the aspartame back? I really don't want to drink Diet Coke, but I also don't want leukemia from my daily soda habit, so it appears you're not leaving me much choice.

When I was a kid, I loved watching their commercials and they got the big names in the industry to advertise their product. So I patronized their soda and all these years, the sweetness hasn't changed which I wished they changed. I drink Pepsi Max and I would say that it's just too sweet for me. The reason why anyone would drink a soft drink is to quench the thirst. Since it's too sweet, your thirst is not being quenched, you'll want for more. It's like you're drinking a choco soft drink.

I recently logged onto Pepsi's website to complain about two 24-packs of Diet Pepsi that I purchased that developed pin holes in them. I reported the bar codes and purchase dates of the 24-packs. I had lost approximately 1/3 of the soda cans to leakage. I questioned why the cans are so cheaply made that soda eats right through them. Maybe I should be questioning why the soda is so acidic that it eats right through the cans. They provided no explanation as to why the cans would develop pin holes but quickly mailed coupons for two free 24-packs which I gladly took to the store to use right away.

Over the past month or so almost every 12 pack of Pepsi has had a can of soda that was not sealed properly in production. The can is not as firm as it should be, there are usually beads of dried up soda near the rim of the can, and the soda is completely flat! It has really angered me that I was throwing out a can or two a week, but today was the kicker --- 6 of 12 cans were like this. I can see an occasional mistake, but for this to happen regularly is a real problem. I am sure that others are frustrated at this as well. I have been loyal to Pepsi for a very long time and never buy Coke, but this may make me switch even though I really don't enjoy the flavor of Coke nearly as much.

Pepsi ginger - The most horrible taste ever. Bought a case of 12, expected good flavor. Usually love Pepsi products, not this one. I want my money back!!!

I absolutely HATE the new diet Pepsi. It doesn't fizzle or snap when you open it and goes flat fast. I have been told they replaced the aspartame with Splenda (which I hate by the way) and to add insult to injury it wasn't even done for health reasons!!! A bunch of aspartame haters told them they didn't like aspartame and so it was changed - no consumer poll no nothing! I have been drinking diet Pepsi my whole adult life and now I have to find another cola. Coke is out of the question because I hate it so if a few people who don't like the new formula call and tell you then you will change it back. I highly doubt it so at the very least instead of bring out a NEW product I would like to suggest that there be a choice of aspartame and Splenda so all Pepsi drinkers can be happy. In the meantime this extremely loyal Pepsi drinker will be looking elsewhere for cola!

I love the taste of Pepsi... It's better than Coca Cola. Plus, it's less expensive than Coca Cola. I'm satisfied with drinking experience with Pepsi.

As in keeping with all the other comments/complaints I've read concerning PepsiCo, I'm adding my two cents' worth and expressing my extreme disappointment in their decision to eliminate the 24 oz size Pepsi. This was the perfect size for me, neither too big nor too small. But, just like many other mega companies, they don't give a ** about the opinions or preferences of the people who keep them in business, the consumer. Well, I'm here to say that once my last 24 oz six-pack is gone, which will be after this complaint, I'm finished giving my hard-earned money to a company that has such little regard for the loyal fans of this product. While I may thoroughly enjoy Pepsi, I'm not addicted. On the plus side, their decision will save my family several hundred dollars a year.

For about 4-6 months now I have found the 12 ounce cans to be leaking. I purchase the 12 pack and the 24 pack cases of Pepsi. I purchase multiple cases as they are on sale. But lately there seems to be at least 1-2 cans every case or so that has a leaker. They leak around where the top is attached to the can. This causes all the other cans and the box to become sticky. I throw the can out because I am not sure if it has become contaminated, and it has lost the carbonation. I must then wash all the cans and burn the case to eliminate the possibility of bugs, aka ants and other sweet seeking insects.

I am glad to see I am not the only one to have issues with opening the 2-liter bottles of Pepsi. I have never had a problem with this until about a month ago. Any other 2-liter of a drink other than Pepsi is easy to open. Even my husband struggles with opening it for me. Sometimes I have to have him open one up for me before he goes to work or wait til he gets home to open it. Come on now... this really shouldn't have to be an issue!

I bought 10 six packs of 16.9 oz bottles of Pepsi and it's flat. Looked at date and it's all outdated.

All the Mountain Dew with Call of Duty is flat. I have been to every store in Valparaiso, IN and Hebron, IN and all stores are Call of Duty on Mt. Dew and they are flat. We are spreading the word not to buy it, is over a year old and is flat. I don't have receipt but we tell everyone buying it it is flat, don't waste your money. We have thrown away all of it. It's pretty bad when that is all they stock around here is bad soda. Have to go to coke products if you want fresh soda. These complaints probably don't mean nothing but we will keep posting on social media. Thanks for nothing Pepsi products.

We are very disappointed that you decided to use Splenda in your diet Pepsi. Both my grand-daughter and daughter, who are migraine sufferers get worse migraines after using Splenda. They had no problems before it was recently added. My husband does not like the nauseous feeling and aftertaste after drinking his diet Pepsi so now he has switched back to diet Coca Cola and will continue to do so until Splenda is removed.

Other people have already mentioned the various bad batches of this product. Tastes flat; like metal; leaves horrible aftertaste in mouth -- I don't remember the exact dates of the other bad batches (other than 4/17/2016); but I do know that we have thrown out several 12 packs when trying to find just one can that tasted right. I don't understand this. I have been a loyal Pepsi customer for over 35 years and they have gone through some really bad versions of the product. If they would just make the Throwback Pepsi again the way it originally was... they could solve many of their problems! I really have lost patience with this company! I think I'll try Coke again.

On October 7th At 5:30 p.m. I attempted to buy a soda out of the machine. When the machine drop the soda it went into a hole in the bottom of the machine that was not supposed to be there. I reached in to get my soda however my arm got stuck, could not get my arm out and had to get the fireman to get my arm out. I eventually went to urgent care, my hands and arm and wrist were swollen. I contacted Pepsi immediately and was told someone will come to my home or call me and have yet to be notified.

The new Diet Pepsi product states that it is aspartame Free on the front of the bottle. It does not have the usual "Splenda" logo on the lower front of the bottle as it normally appears on products containing Splenda! The ingredients only state sucralose! I cannot tolerate Splenda with my IBS!! The new Diet Pepsi is sickening sweet. I will not be purchasing diet Pepsi with this formula!

The last dozen or so 2 liter bottles of diet Pepsi that I have bought are impossible to open. When my husband's not available, I use pliers! Come on, people. I thought it was the arthritis in my hands, but after reading some reviews, it's not me, apparently! Fix it!!

This is not the first time I have purchased a diet Pepsi 16 ounce bottle and could not open it. I am no weakling. This time I have nearly tore the skin from my hand and still not open. Fixing to take it back and get a coke.

I own a business and we have been using Pepsi for more than five years. We have a contract with Pepsi... Our orders are every three weeks. When we order I usually order an extra syrup because of shelf life. Our sales on drinks are down and I have not order for three months. Since then I've had numerous calls telling me that I need to place an order and today was the last straw. I was informed by a rude Pepsi employee that if I don't order today my account will be canceled even though I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years.

Pepsi taste flat so I tried to call see if I get my money back. They are not taking calls ok then tried to email them. Also not taking emails!!! Who is running this company? Fire this ceo and anyone who change the good taste of Pepsi! Can anyone who feels the same way please contact Pepsi and also write consumer affairs. Thank you.

We are supposed to be in a shelving contract for the year 2015. According to the written contract, payment from Pepsi was due at the end of the 1st quarter or April 1. As of today July 14, 2015 we have not received payment. Any attempt to discover why we haven't been paid has been met with no satisfactory response, nobody knows where or when we will be paid. Our store however has been repeatedly called for a missed payment and sent several letters after we mistakenly missed a bill. Pepsi even refused to sell us any more product even though we have been a long time customer and had no previous payment issues. We have since cancelled our Pepsi contract and will now deal exclusively with Coca Cola.

I have been a Pepsi buyer for well over 30 years. I would not think of having any other soda in the fridge. However.... I am very disappointed with its current taste over the last months. I do not normally go to websites to write complaints, but I have found it interesting that so many others have also expressed the same concern and disappointment in what was a superior product for the last 50 years. Pepsi is now always flat and stale. It has an aftertaste that is worse than any diet soda I have ever purchased. The pop has lost its fizz and presents a metal aftertaste.... like a tin can. Have you changed the formula or what???

Bought a Restaurant and retained Pepsi both fountain and a 20 oz. Cooler kept freezing and Tech came to fix it whereas a few days later everything froze again and lost dozens of 20 oz. drinks. Also having the location 4 months, I've had 2 sales calls for syrup for the fountain drinks. Called sales rep supervisor which was VERY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL to us. I would say Pepsi by my perception doesn't have their act together and I am quite done with dealing with the ROMPER ROOM, having cooler picked up today and we will be getting the ball rolling on moving over to Coke Products in all of our Various locations. Being a smart ass to people will cost you business now, and future business as well.

I stopped buy the 20oz diet Pepsi. Even some of the little bottle diet Pepsi are very hard to twist. I was for awhile using a plyers, but I switch brands. Tired of fighting with my pop. The other brands opens.

All Mountain Dew with exp. dates of November have been beyond horrible tasting. This has happened once before, about a year ago. Now I did call Pepsi and they refunded me. And I also had them look up my name to show them that I contacted them on same issue a year ago. Yes I was pleased that I was given coupons to replace. However what does that matter when they don't follow-through and remove this bad product. I ended up with more bad Mountain Dew. And they are still selling it this way 3-4 weeks after contacting them. I want a good tasting Mountain Dew for goodness sakes. And all I have is stacks of bad ones piling up. Really annoying and very upsetting that they are not taking care of this issue.

I was in Mars getting my caffeine free Pepsi and a Pepsi person who was delivering there on May 27th at approximately 11 a.m. was very nice and actually got his co worker to go out to the truck and get me soda. I didn't even ask him. I just was there and was there was one and he said "what kind of you want?" In the end he went and got it so I appreciate that. So he should have a pat on the back for that. I appreciate the fact that he cared enough to go get me the soda that I like which is caffeine free Pepsi. Pepsi needs to put more out because a lot of people want that and when we go we can't find it. But I really appreciate the fact that he made the effort to go get it.

I have been an exclusive consumer of Pepsi for 60 years and am outraged by the current price increase. Your change from 24 oz bottles to 500 ml (16.9 oz) was NOT accompanied by a price decrease. You decreased the amount sold by roughly 30% and kept the price the same for a net price increase of 50%. The smaller bottle means more frequent refills of the fridge, a terrible waste of plastic, and a lot of irritation for your customers. This summer, I'll drink iced tea and sugar my OWN water.

This is just an irritated consumer who enjoys Pepsi products but is now disappointed by the subtle change made in the size of the bottles for the six packs of Pepsi and diet Pepsi, which have miraculously become thinner with less product in them. However, I haven't noticed a decrease in the pricing. Yes, believe it or not, we do notice these things.

I purchased several 12 packs of Pepsi, date on it Nov 9, 2015, # 0110hs02075. After opening several cans it tasted nasty bad. After-taste in mouth like diesel. Dumped out most but had others that like me live on Pepsi same, I've keep several cans but that pop will make someone sick. Need to pull that lot # of pop. I would like to have the 2 12 packs replaced with not diesel-tasting crap.

I bought 2 12 packs Pepsi with real sugar by accident. I drink regular Pepsi. The Pepsi with real sugar has a bad after taste. It's terrible. Please try it and you'll understand where I'm coming from. Please tell them to stop making it.

I drink Pepsi nonstop but I have to agree with that other person that said that she bought 2 cases of Pepsi and it was flat. I buy the 2 liter bottles of Pepsi and mine is always flat plus there is a really gross taste to it now almost like a carbonated flavor and it really makes me nauseous. I have actually drank it a few times to where I couldn't take the taste and actually threw up. What is going on with Pepsi? Do you and your employees just don't care anybody about the product your putting out there or what. If this keeps up then you're going to be out of business which means you and your employees will no longer be employed because people are going to actually stop buying the product.

I would like to know why is it when I buy Pepsi on sale, lately it's always flat and stale. On Tuesday November 25, 2014 I brought 2 cases of Pepsi that was on sale. The best used by date is Aug 24, 2015 the ID #'s is1445BG1118438 and 1450BG111843. The pop had very little fizz and an aftertaste. Have you changed the formula or what? I purchased the pop from FOOD 4 LESS on 71st and Ashland in Chicago,Il.

Like many companies, Pepsi has moved to the "bulk" delivery system. Pepsi is the worst! Most vendor deliveries used to be of the "conventional" method, where the vendor would come into the store, work his stock from the retailer's backroom, then bring in off his truck what was needed for the shelf, cleaning the shelves for his area, then returning the next day to do the same process again. Very efficient, similar to what many corporations call the "delivery on-time" method. Many companies changed to the "bulk" method of delivery, whereby huge quantities of the company's product were palletized, and this occurred two or three times a week.

I'm writing this to maybe deaf ears but have to tell someone my disappointment in a product that I liked and constantly spoke its praises. It always had a clean crisp taste, and was top of the soft drink category. With the new change of the logo, you also changed the very thing people liked that made it different than 7up and Sprite. I now have an aftertaste that brings on a sinus headache. At first I thought this can't be, they would not have done that and that maybe it's a different formula in plastic bottles. I bought a case of cans and same outcome. I'm writing with a headache and literally have a bad taste in my mouth. I will not purchase this product again unless or until there is a change back to the superior product it once was, and I will spread the word.

Sit down and buckle up because it's about to be a rage fueled ride. Pepsi co does not give a flying ** about their consumers. They don't give a ** about delivery times or how their product is handled. These reps are based off of how many cases they deliver to a store and they will ** you blind if you don't try to control what they bring in. On top of that they wont show up half the ** time then when they do, they want to double your order. On top of all of that good ** luck actually receiving it at a decent ** time in the day. No these ** heads want to show up at 5pm after most of your business has already happened for the day. Or they just hit the street light outside with their giant truck and drive away and don't deliver at all. Then they don't even call you to tell you they aren't coming as you watch them drive away with all the product that you are willing to pay for.

The sales reps get commission for cases ordered and negative commission for cases returned which drives sales reps to order more cases than needed and refusal to return cases that have expired. We have informed our rep that business would be slow and we would need fewer cases, yet we get so overstocked, there is not enough shelf space to hold all the product and end up having far more products expire than needs to be. The rep has refused to take all the expired goods back, because as a result "too much would be docked from his paycheck." One could say this is just a dishonest rep. After having the same issue with multiple reps it has become clear that it is a ploy set up by Pepsi's executives to generate more revenue and the rep is just their pawn. Ask yourself who benefits from the commission and it's purpose will become self explanatory.

I drink Mountain Dew on a daily basis. A few weeks ago I bought a two liter of Mountain Dew and it felt like it was already opened and flat so it had to be thrown out. The next one I bought the wood was wondering so tight that I tripped about an inch of skin off of my finger and it's been a week and I'm still waiting on it to heal. Last night I went to open another two liter and it ripped open what had already held on my finger and I still couldn't get this bottle open. Is there some kind of special tool that needs to be used open Mountain Dew 2 liters now? I've contacted Pepsi of course with no response from them. Very frustrating. I love Mountain Dew but I'm willing to switch to Coke.

We own a restaurant and we only buy Pepsi for the restaurant at local supermarkets. For the last 3 months I get about 1 can per case that is caved in and when opened is flat. Number on the 12 pack is 1052le082241. I wouldn't complain but this is every week.

Due to excess gas filling, the 7UP glass bottle busted without opening it, my father's lost the left eye vision. We have informed the Pepsi company, no response from their end, pathetic service. I want to take legal action against them, want to issue a legal warrant against them.

Unopened Mountain Dew can contains foreign object. I purchased a 20 pack carton of Mountain Dew labeled FEB 23 15 2150BR082246. The can and contents weighs 1.1970 oz and an empty can weighs .5240 oz so the contents weighs .6730 oz. It is not liquid, but some kind of soft foreign object. I am going to hold on to it and the case, but I have no clue what's in the can.

I live in Albuquerque New Mexico. Ever since you changed the packaging for the real sugar pepsi, most stores here no longer carry it. Extremely frustrating. I've had to switch back to RC Cola. If there is anywhere left in Albuquerque that still sells the real sugar, please share that with me. I prefer to drink that over RC.

I was an employee of this company for many years. I have visited a lot of their plants and where they produce these products... very, very old buildings - early 1900 hundreds, a lot of dirty areas and I myself will not buy their products, then and now. Animal feed plants are cleaner. I totally believe all the consumer complaints regarding foreign material and PepsiCo truly does not care about the consumer or their own employees. Quit buying their products is the only answer. They own Quaker, Tropicana. This is quite a place so I have been told from their own quality control dept., Gatorade, Frito Lay, Pepsi and a few more if you go on their website you will find them.

Today I opened a 24-pack of Diet Pepsi, in the NFL packaging, I purchased from Walmart. Inside was a piece of paper in the shape of our currency in the amount of 1,000,000 dollars. That was bad enough but the reverse side was the ranting of religious writings in answer to what was the million dollar questions. Nothing on this piece of paper was requested by me nor was there any indication on the outside of the packaging to tell me what this was all about. Anyone have an idea what this paper is for or has Pepsi decided to force feed their religious views on unsuspecting customers?
