Pepsi One!! Bring it BACK!
Posted on
Since I can no longer find Pepsi One, I have been trying to find a 'replacement' with No luck. I have been suffering from headaches since. I now read online that aspartame in the other colas I have been trying may be the cause. Pepsi Max tastes terrible!! Not sure what I am going to do. I did read that diet Coke, with the yellow swirl, uses splenda. I will give it a try. Pepsi One did not have a large stock at Walmart, not sure why because often they would be out when I shopped. If Pepsi thinks that Pepsi Max is going to be a big seller I really doubt it, it tastes bad. I am insulted that Pepsi thought they could make the cans look similar and I guess we were not suppose to notice. I am not that stupid guys!

Try Coke with splenda. I do think they are going to stop selling that too.

In my 40 years of drinking soda I have never enjoyed anything as much as Pepsi One. Even though Pepsi made it hard to find I would always seek it out. PLEASE reconsider and bring it back! Trust me, you have no decent substitute for Pepsi One. Also, if anyone can tell me where to find the last of the supply in California I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Pepsi One is the only soda without aspartame
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I have been to 4 grocery stores, all the major drug/variety stores, and many delis, and no one except D'Agostino's is selling Pepsi One. Why is Pepsi not promoting it as the only non-carcinogen soda. Aspartame, which is in all diet sodas except Pepsi One causes liver shutdown and cancer. FYI, Aspartame is "Equal". Don't use it!
Pepsi One is sweetened with Splenda, famous from Dr. Atkins years ago and now also distributed under the Kirkland brand at Costco. But why can't the soda makers, esp. Pepsi move totally to Splenda instead of aspartame. It's an outrage. If any soda is "good for you", it's Pepsi One. Please I need it or I will be drinking hot tea all day which is very inconvenient. I cannot drink juice (too much sugar), cannot drink other sodas (aspartame and I am already a cancer survivor and need my liver), and I cannot sit near a kettle or coffee machine all day, esp. in Summer. And water is boring and expensive and ecologically irresponsible if bought by plastic bottle. HELP. We need our Pepsi One. PLEASE, PEPSI, PUT IT BACK ON THE MARKET!

My grandmother drank diet pepsi for a good 40 years. She lived to be 92 and besides having a little bit of breast cancer (hereditary in her family), she did not have liver problems. So I don't know, it may contribute to some people but it certainly hasn't contributed to my family. The diet pepsi did not cause her breast cancer that's for sure. Most my family drink it and most of them do not have cancer.
BigAl on 04/06/2012:
The formula goes something like this:If a 1 pound rat eats 40,000 pounds of aspartame it has a 2% higher risk of developing cancer. Not really but you get the picture.
FoDaddy19 on 04/06/2012:
Alternatively you could also just drink regular Pepsi, it doesn't have aspartame. Or if you also happen to have an aversion to HFCS, then there's always Pepsi Throwback.
dan gordon on 04/06/2012:
I think if you researched a bit Aspartane would have to be consumed in the gallons per day to have an effect on the liver. Any sweetener in pop still has a negative effect on blood sugar which is far more damaging than the fake sugar.
madconsumer on 04/06/2012:
most of these artificial sweeteners gives me a headache, even from one little packet.
very helpful review!
trmn8r on 04/06/2012:
If aspartame in the amounts involved was shown to cause cancer, it wouldn't be in the product. That's my take on it.
However, I've heard some complaints about the taste of Pepsi One, so maybe it would be wise to try different ingredients.
Churro on 04/06/2012:
"If aspartame in the amounts involved was shown to cause cancer, it wouldn't be in the product. "
By that logic then is it safe to assume there's not enough tobacco in a cigarette to cause cancer?
The OP makes a great point.
madconsumer on 04/06/2012:
best comment Churro!
MRM on 04/06/2012:
Churro, I was going to state the same comment, but changed my mind.
lexophiliac on 04/06/2012:
Aspartame, other artificial sweeteners, and many other potentially harmful ingredients are found in thousands of food products, so ingesting a small, purportedly benign amount in one product does not accurately reflect the total amount ingested when taking one's overall daily diet into consideration or how long the substances are stored in the body, and how, if at all, the buildup over time could affect the body and its organs.
Kris10 on 04/06/2012:
Really, this is why I try to avoid drinking soda as much as possible. Making your own iced tea is a good way to avoid things like this.
Not to mention that Splenda isn't much better for you than Aspartame. http://www.3fatchicks.com/11-sucralose-side-effects/

Soda, in general, is bad for you
trmn8r on 04/06/2012:
Interesting point, Kris. I make homemade iced-tea year round, and put a small amount of sugar in it when it is hot, so it dissolves. I know what's in it, because I put it there.
If I drank smaller quantities, an occasional soda I might indulge. When I had one a day, it definitely had an effect on my health. Each to his own.

But there are warnings on cigarette packages to alert you to the dangers of the product (allowing you to make a more informed decision to use the product or not). Pepsi doesn't warn you (last time I checked) of any potential danger. As such, I am assuming it's okay in normal quantities.

Drink enough water and that too can kill you.
Nohandle on 04/07/2012:
Good question about the eggs Chuck. My parents went through that and I recall my mom stating the doctors couldn't make up their minds about shrimp at that time. One week they were fine to eat the next bad for your cholesterol. She finally decided you had to eat something so eat what you liked. Seriously, many have reached that point. They are weary of the warnings about everything.

If I buy one more bottle of Pepsi Max........
Posted by
I swear, if I buy one more bottle of Pepsi Max because the labels are so similar to regular Pepsi, I'm going to scream. Brand identity and consistency are a good thing for businesses, I get that, but come on guys and gals in the art department, let's think the way a consumer thinks. Normally, in today's world, we are in somewhat of a hurry. We are distracted by the kids, the dog, the husband, whatever. We have a PTA meeting to buy treats for and a little league game to take the mother in law to so she can see little Bobbie sit on the bench. But first you have to go to the store and get a few things. You rush up and down the aisles looking through your coupon rollodex, talking on your cell phone, running your cart up on the heal of the old lady who was trying to get out of your way but hesitated a second too long trying to figure out which way would be the safest to dive for cover. Ahh, your final destination, the soda aisle. Throw a couple 2 liters in you cart and it's off to the checkout lane. Beep, Beep, coupon, swipe, unload, beep, beep, swipe, unload, coupon, coupon, total, debit or credit, do you need help out, and your off. You get home, unload the bags into the kitchen, put away the frozen items and pop open an ice cold Pepsi because you deserve it. You toss down three or four long swallows of your favorite softdrink when suddenly you realize that it doesn't taste quite right. What? What in the bloody hell is this? You look at the bottle you just opened and there, in little print, close to the word PEPSI, is the word MAX...and then the words 0 calories stare back at you like the frozen lips of a circus clown...
OK, so I go on a bit, but there really is nothing worse(except for maybe putting on a wet bathing suit)than buying the wrong item and nothing more frustrating than having to schlep back to the store to exchange it, except when you can't exchange it because you have opened it already. I'm sure my little letter won't make a difference in you decision making but if it ever comes up at a board meeting, please vote for changing the labels so they are unmistakenly different.
Thanks for your time, and have a great day.

GenuineNerd on 03/27/2011:
It can get confusing. Pepsi always used dark blue labels (except for the "Throwback" Pepsi, which reverted to the red, white and blue 1980's packaging), while Diet Pepsi Max (and Pepsi One before it) used black labels. Dimly lit stores or those with darker glasses or poor vision, can esaily confuse dark blue with black.

Venice09 on 03/28/2011:
I have a similar problem with Sierra Mist. Diet always had a white label and regular had green. Now they both have green, so if you're in a hurry it's easy to pick up the wrong thing. Do companies do this on purpose? Why would they want to confuse their customers?
Good review. Very entertaining.
Anonymous on 03/28/2011:
So you want Pepsi to spend tens of millions of dollars (which will be passed on to the consumer) to change the label all because you can't stop for 2 seconds and read it before you buy it? I'll just censor myself here on what needs to be said.
redmx3racer on 03/28/2011:
I agree with throwback. If it were me, and I made the mistake of buying the wrong soda more than one or two times, then maybe I would take the extra second or 2 to ensure I did not make the same mistake. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Maybe it's because I am not a pepsi drinker but the labels don't look that similar to me. Just another reason to choose coke-diet is gray, zero is black, and regular is red!
Anonymous on 03/28/2011:
I've never ever had a problem telling the difference between regular pepsi and pepsi max. I mean how can you miss the huge "MAX" that's in red and in bold? I think you need to slow down a little bit and take a look at what you are purchasing.
momsey on 03/28/2011:
I agree with Prince. I even googled the images to make sure I wasn't remembering incorrectly. I really don't think they look so similar.
trmn8r on 03/28/2011:
If a cell phone distracts someone from picking up their favorite beverage, which should have an instantly recognizable label, think about the effect it has when you are driving a car...
To select the right item, I'd suggest that what is required is to look at the label.

If the packaging had Braille added to the handle, it would be another tip of which one was selected. But the customer would have to have the presence of mind to think about it as they walked away.
I was surprised to see Braille on my Band-Aid box.
Anonymous on 03/28/2011:
I don't care what anybody says the new pepsi packaging isn't nearly as distinctive as what it replaced. Like most good hearted people I seldom buy pepsi products because they refuse to put god on their labels but once when I did I accidentally picked up a diet cherry pepsi instead of a diet pepsi because the labels were almost identical.
The best all around answer here is to quit buying pepsi products.
Nohandle on 03/28/2011:
I bought not once but twice the wrong Pond's Cold Cream. Just a slight color variation in the lids with a new product line they were carrying. Both products side by side but I double check now. Customers will sometimes move the products around on the shelf so you best have your reading glasses on. It's really hard to tell at first glance the difference what with the lighting in some stores.
Anonymous on 03/28/2011:
Nohandle, I find the lighting in the stores to be as good as it always has been (but my eyes aren't)...lol.
Nohandle on 03/28/2011:
That's why you need your reading glasses now. I don't go into a store for a *shopping experience* since I have better things to do and I don't leisurely browse because I hate to shop.
Venice09 on 03/28/2011:
I don't even have a cell phone and am not in a hurry or distracted, but I still pick up the wrong thing. There are so many different varieties of each product that you have to look very carefully to make sure you have the right one. As careful as I think I am, I almost always come home with at least one wrong item.
Anonymous on 03/28/2011:
I will be so thankful when all stores start posting the "No Cellphones Allowed" signs. Nothing irritates me more than someone pushing around a cart with their elbows while they're gabbing away on the phone, running their carts up onto the heels of old ladies, blocking aisles, and holding up the checkout lines.
GenuineNerd on 03/28/2011:
Another example involves another Pepsi product, Tropicana Orange Juice, in which the packaging for the no-pulp, high-pulp, calcium, Trop 50, etc. only uses slight variation in the packaging. Coca-Cola's Simply Orange and Minute Maid orange juice brands also use slight packaging variations. You have to read the label to get what you are getting exactly. Same with many other products you would typically find in a supermarket...packaging so similar that you need to read the label...hard to do if you're in a hurry.
Venice09 on 03/28/2011:
Nerd, Trop OJ is a perfect example. There are so many flavors and varieties that it's very easy to pick up the wrong one because the packaging is very similar. Trop 50 is the only one that looks a little different. I think the carton is shaped differently. Tropicana has more flavors and varieties of OJ than any other brand. It's definitely confusing.
Venice09 on 03/28/2011:
I think it's a pity that stores have to ban cell phones just because people have no regard for their fellow shoppers or the employees. Why do responsible people always have to pay the price for the bad apples?
Starlord on 03/29/2011:
How does your trying to shop on a dead run translate to a problem for Pepsi? I have my own battle with Pepsi going right now over their discontinuing Pepsi One. The Coke line-up doesn't look too enticing either, and Diet RC is a hard thing to locate. We need more soft drinks (I ain't getting into that pop/soda debacle) sweetened with sucralose (Splenda). I am positive my wife and I are not the only US citizens sensitive to asparatame. I have put Pepsi on notice, they cancel the discontinuing of Pepsi One, or they lose a customer of some 40 years standing.
Neil Hallare on 08/03/2012:
Many are complaining about the scarcity of Pepsi-One. Why do you think Peopsi is NOT listening? I'm losing my loyalty to this company. Pepsi: bring back your Pepsi One for crying out loud!

Why would you stop providing Pepsi one to your loyal customers in Texas? Now what? Pepsi max sucks!!!!! I guess I have too try Coke products again. The coke people did this to me when they stopped selling New Coke years ago and then I started drinking Pepsi and loved it. Then to lose weight I tried Pepsi one and been drinking them ever since. This really sucks to have my favorite drink taken away without any kind of good reason!!
Put it back on the shelves of our stores! It sells, cause the stores I'd buy from always ran out!!!

Diet soda will not help you lose weight. One can of soda a day can pack on 10 pounds a year, diet soda included. Carbonation makes your stomach expand. If you want to lose weight, then drink water.

Pepsi One sales aren't what the marketers anticipated it to be, so they are discontinuing it. While there may be a few remote areas such as the OP's shopping locations that keep it moving off the shelves, that isn't sufficient enough sales to carry the brand nationwide.
CrystalSword on 03/12/2011:
Pepsi ONE is fantastic, and becoming harder and harder to find, and its never on sale here. All the other Pepsi products are on sale but rarely if ever does that include Pepsi ONE....plus its the only soft drink I can handle that isn't full of either sugar or aspartame, the aspartame gives me a raging headache.
Starlord on 03/12/2011:
Aspartame gives both of us raging headaches. Safeway has specials on Pepsi products, hen you see the small lettering that says selected varieties. Pepsi One is never a selected variety. If Pepsi says the sles hav beenlow as a eason for discontinuing it, how the blue Susie do they expect to sell a lot of it if the stores don' have enough of it. They can't sell what they don't have, andconersey, we can't buy it if the store doesn't have any. Pepsi Oneis the ONLY Pepsi product we can drink. All ofthe Pepsi products contain either high fructose corn syrup or aspartame, except Throwback, which has cane sugar. Between my diabees and our hadache response to aspartame, we are screwed.
Venice09 on 03/12/2011:
I don't think diet soda makes you gain weight. I'm not a big soda drinker, but a diet soda can stop my craving for something sweet. What it really does is make me want something salty! And I don't even like salt.
Anonymous on 03/12/2011:
I also enjoy pepsi one. I like Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, but Pepsi one as a slightly different taste which I enjoy. It will definitely be a shame if they discontinue it completely. I really like diet wild cherry pepsi and diet cherry coke but that's also very hard to find anywhere. when I was younger I could down a 6 pack of regular coke in a day. After gaining a lot of weight I changed my lifestyle. I can't even FINISH a whole can of regular soda, its just WAY to sweet! They put like 13 tablespoons of sugar per CAN! Ridiculous! And they wonder why America is full of obese and diabetes.

I'm also not a big fan of just plain water. As much as I know it is good for me, I just don't like it. I've come up with a compromise where I drink Crystal Light, well wal mart's version of it since its cheaper. No caffine, no calories and tastes good.

Marci on 04/09/2012:
I am not worried about the pros and cons of aspartame and Splenda--I simply LIKE the taste of Pepsi One. To me, it tastes better than Diet Coke, regular Coke, regular Pepsi, or Diet Pepsi. I am really annoyed that it's being discontinued.
Jerry on 10/17/2012:
Have you noticed the 24 pack of pepsi one says one calorie per can, but the can now says "0" calories. they took out 100% of the calories but the price is still the same!

Pepsi Stuff Promotion Ripoff
Posted by
You know, maybe I'm just stupid. I guess that's the case, because I honestly don't remember seeing anywhere where it said that the Pepsi Stuff promotion ended on December 31, 2008. Oh, I believe it was out there...in tiny little writing so small that an ant with bifocals would have a hard time reading it. But answer me this...if the promo is over, why is there still product EVERYWHERE (like Walmart, for instance) that still contains the caps?
Okay, forget that though...my bad. My stupid, my didn't read the fine print.
But what REALLY irks, irritates, and just plain pisses me off is that THEY TOOK THE POINTS I HAD BANKED WITH AMAZON!!!!!!!!!!!! How is this cool? How does this endear Pepsi drinkers to the company, I ask you?
See, I've been a loyal Diet Pepsi drinker for a long time. And with this Pepsi Stuff promotion, I was lovin' it even more, because unlike other cola company promotions, you only had to have 5 Pepsi Stuff points to download an MP3 from Amazon. And they had some GREAT music! Walmart would have other brands on sale and Diet Pepsi would be full price and I would STILL pass right by the sale stuff to get the Diet Pepsi, because of the Pepsi Stuff promotion. I would build up a couple of cups full of bottle caps, then one day when I had a free minute, I would enter all the codes at once and then, once again as I had time, I would peruse the available music and download it to my Moto Q. And then drink more Diet Pepsi.
I don't even remember how many points I had built up with Amazon, but it was a lot. A LOT. Most companies, when a promotion ends, give you a grace period to redeem your whatever for available prizes. Apparently Pepsi, in their infinite wisdom, are not one of those companies. I called the 800 number listed on the cap (1-800-462-9900) and spoke with a representative there, who in a very bored voice said "Yes ma'am, the promotion is over and your points are gone. Can I help you with anything else?". I refrained from telling her just where she could stick a 2-litre. After all, she's just a drone in a call center. The real people responsible for ripping me off don't answer the phone. If they did, maybe they'd understand where their stupidity lies.
Because see, I'm a "fool me once" kind of girl. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. And, to quote a previous president, I don't get fooled again.
So Pepsi, you took my points and you lost a good customer. I'll bet I spent several thousand dollars on your product over the last year, between me, my husband, and the business I work for. But the cooler at work stocks Coke and Dr. Pepper just as well as Pepsi and Diet Pepsi, and customers will buy it just as quickly. And *I* make the decision as to what gets stocked in the cooler. As a matter of fact, after I finish this "rant", I'm going to go and put up a sale tag on the cooler, all Pepsi products buy one get one free, just to get them out of the store. Then, I have a shopping trip lined up anyway to buy stuff for the store, well, I'll just ad an additional item..."Coke products for store drink cooler".
I know my measly few thousand is just a drop in the bucket to Pepsi, but if I'm pissed off I'm sure there are a bunch of other people that are too. And eventually that little drop becomes a bucket full, and then a little creek, and then a river, and then an ocean - an ocean of Pepsi products rotting on store shelves. Lots of other big names have gone the way of the carrier pigeon in my lifetime...MCI, Goodys, Enron, etc. Don't think just because you're Pepsi that you'll always be around....

Nohandle on 02/02/2009:
Carolina, I wonder if the Pepsi Promo you're speaking of is anything like the Coke Promo...Save the bottle caps and/or the code printed on the inside of of the six and twelve packs of the canned drinks. I knew nothing of any promotion with Coke but a co-worker explained he had signed up and had been keying in the codes for a good long while. He had received a few nice things, at no charge, but decided to save up his unused points for, I believe a TV.
Anyway, he was notified or read somewhere the Promo was about to expire so he selected whatever he could with the points he had earned. Once he had used all he could he learned the Coke Promo had been extended. He wasn't too pleased at the time.
Carolinadancer on 02/02/2009:
No, if you go to the website www.pepsistuff.com, you can get either a wallpaper with a coupon or a pdf mail-in form to get coupons. And like I said, when I called them the CS person said it was over and my points were gone, roll credits. But thanks for the info...I do have a few Coke points as well, but nowhere near what I did in Pepsi Stuff points.
Nohandle on 02/02/2009:
Carolina, do what the employee does with the Coke Promo. Everyone in the office brings in his bottle caps and empty 6/12 pack containers and gives them to him. I think there's a limit per day as to how may can be keyed in and I expect that's what he's doing right now. LOL. Sorry you missed it with Pepsi, perhaps there's still an opportunity with Coke.
MRM on 02/02/2009:
The Coke Reward is still going on and there is a limit of 10 codes per day. At my job, we have coolers to fill up with Dasani water bottles and on the cartons the codes are worth 10 points and I will be collecting as much as 20 cartons a day. You can imagine how many points I can racked up in a month! Currently, I have racked up 15,000 points in 4 months! You can get a 19' LCD with that many points.

Got my Coke Rewards e-mail this morning...Starting on February 16th, there's something refreshingly new at My Coke Rewards. The 10 code entries-per-day limit is gone. Now you can enter your codes when you want — up to 120 points per week. Also, starting 2/17 we're going to keep all rewards under 2000 points to make sure that you get rewarded quickly and easily. But before the 2000+ point rewards go away, from 2/10-2/16 you'll be able to get some new, exclusive limited-time rewards for 2000 points and greater.
I still like Mountain Dew better!

Flat Pepsi And Defective Cans
Posted by
ATWATER, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a loyal pepsi drinker for nearly 50 years now. Since I never acquired a taste for coffee, pepsi is my morning coffee. In fact, it's my coffee all day long, as there is always a pepsi by my side.
It's no big deal to come across a defective can with flat pepsi inside now and then, but lately, there has been so many that it prompted me to write in about it. To my surprise, I've noticed and read several other folks saying basically the same thing.
We know our pepsi, right folks? Us die hard pepsi fans can take the blind test against the competitor and choose our pepsi every time. Well, until lately anyway. I sure wouldn't choose these recent ones as pepsi at all.
So, what's going on at the Pepsi Company ya'll? I'm sure we all would appreciate hearing your explanation about this, and why they even made it to the store shelves. It wasn't found just in my neighborhood, we found the same problem in the next county while visiting relatives. From these other complaints, seems it's all across the u.s. How did all that bad pepsi get missed?
Then, it would be really nice if you showed how much you value and appreciate your loyal customers, by compensating them for spending their hard earned money on so many bad cans of soda, a product they've trusted and enjoyed for so many years.
We all are feeling the squeeze from our economy these days, and it doesn't help to be pouring money down the drain, literally! Then to quickly find something to get that awful taste out of our mouth. It's SO yucky!
Come on Pepsi corporate people, show the world what a great company you are. Led by example and show how a major company can, and will, do right by those who made them successful in the first place.
Make us Pepsi People Proud.

Have you contacted Pepsi about your complaint?

Drinking soda for 50 years throughout the day prompts a few questions. Do you still have your teeth? Do you have Type 2 Diabetes? Are you overweight?
Anonymous on 10/24/2008:
Being an occasional Pepsi drinker I haven't experienced this problem. Perhaps it's not that the Pepsi is flat it could be that you are getting morbidly ____.
Try an unsweetened tea or a power drink.

pepsi is too sweet and syrupy.

50 years with a Pepsi always by your side... wow
Ponie on 10/24/2008:
Drinking something else or questioning the poster's health doesn't solve the problem. Ya' know, you can die from drinking too much water. 'Tis so! I almost fell off the bar stool reading that story and watching it being aired on TV.
Pepsi-holic, your last statement sounds like a campaign slogan. :)
I once got some flat Pepsi, but it was my own fault. I picked up four 24 oz. 6-pks without checking the 'use by' date, which was about five months prior. Took it back to Kroger, along with my receipt, and they replaced it.
Principissa on 10/24/2008:
I'm not a big fan of pepsi. I like coke or dr. pepper. It's more bubbly.
Mrs. V on 10/24/2008:
I really wish people would not pick on other people.
You don't know if this person is overweight (and, really, so what if they are) or has diabetes (again, so what, they may have had diabetes their whole life, as in born within) or has all of their teeth (or not or lost them in an auto accident, again, so what).
Please, people, think about someones feeling *before* you just type out anything that comes to your minds.
Thank you (off soap box, now)
TGT101 on 10/24/2008:
I prefer to drink water. It's cheaper and healthier.

It's POP...POP...POP...not SODA....JUST POP!
Anyway, give up the Poopie and drink Coke!

Pepsi just tastes like flat Coke to me.... too sweet...
Starlord on 10/24/2008:
I also have been drinking Pepsi for about the same amount of years, as I am 62 years old. I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I have gotten a flat Pepsi and still be able to snap my fingers. Pepsi, coke, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, they are all liquid candy, and intake of them should be controlled.
Ponie on 10/24/2008:
OF, now that's my main reason for being a Pepsi drinker as compared with Coke. (IMHO)It's the Coke that's too sweet. 'Course, I drink the diet Pepsi so there may be a difference in taste.
Right, TGT. After all, who wants 'sick' water? :)
music4life75 on 10/29/2008:
Coca-Cola number one soft drink for 8 years running!
DebtorBasher on 10/29/2008:
Coke has always been #1 to me! Hey... If you leave your Coke sit in a glass for 12 hours, then it will taste like Pepsi.
...oh...and it's POP...not soda...POP, Just POP!
Anonymous on 10/29/2008:
Holy crap! You'll drink Coke soda POP after its sat in a glass for 12 hours?
I've heard about the guy that turned water into wine, and now I've heard about the gal that turned Coke into Pepsi. My life is complete....
what is wrong wiith people on 06/22/2013:
it seems some people miss the point its not about how much someone weighs its about the quality of a product we have purchased with our hard earned cash. get it right people don't be so ignorant.

P1 is the best
Posted by
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- Pepsi One is the best diet product I have ever tried. It has Splenda and the taste is not matched by any other diet soft drink. It is very important for PepsiCo to clarify what is the issue with some cancer produced in lab rats and related to the amount of certain ingredient in Pepsi One. This is a good product, but I need to hear the truth about the studies and consequences of drinking this product. I drink 3-4 cans a day !
There are people talking about a class suit against PepsiCo because of some label warning not used in California.
Please clarify.

I Get Disgusted/nauseus Whenever I See a Pepsi Commercial
Posted by
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- Every time I see that disgusting excuse for a woman( Beyonce) doing a commercial for Pepsi, It makes me sick and disgusted. She is a nothing who just shakes what she was given. She disgusts me now as much as she did in her earlier years. Myself, my family and all my friends have seen that commercial so many times in sheer disgust that even looking at a bottle or can of Pepsi, we can no longer even drink it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have lost so so many customers as well as families, that you should truly care !! You need to use normal people, everyday people to promote a truly family recipe as well as a family drink. Normal people with normal family values so much more true to life, if you even care......Like a man like myself, my family members. I am in a wheelchair but that's life. My family is normal and just well taken care of and clean shaved. Think about it........

I'm a pretty normal guy and I don't have a problem watching Beyonce in a Pepsi commercial. Actually Pepsi's ads are pretty tame compared to the likes of Hardee's/Carl Jr's, or Go Daddy's older ads which I also don't have a problem with.
Chaparrita on 06/05/2013:
Using celebs in ads is a popular and effective way of advertising. Maybe Pepsi lost a few customers who don't like Beyonce, but I've bet they've gained even more customers who are fans of Beyonce. I don't like her music, but I think she's an amazing singer and dancer. And a heck of a lot classier than some of the female singers out there.

It's always been available in a bottle as well as a can in my area. What choices other than bottles were available to you and how long has it been unavailable in your area?
GenuineNerd on 06/18/2012:
Are you referring to glass bottles? Soda/pop has been available in plastic bottles for many years now...it's the "boutique" brands, as well as Mexican Coca-Cola, that come in glass. Glass bottles were pretty much phased out by the early 1990's, when the soft drink companies phased out the 16-ounce returnable bottle. And soft drinks do taste better in glass than in aluminum or plastic.
Cwazychicken on 06/18/2012:
I haven't seen pepsi in a glass bottle in at least 20 years. About the time when plastic took over lol.I do see coke sell in glass bottles but very tiny ones, the ones I am talking about were huge glass bottles *long and tall*..they were cool.

OP, I know EXACTLY what you mean! Happens to us all the time. We love a product, and bam, they take it away.
Great review. I'll have to check it out. I'm not much of a soda drinker, but we do keep Coke Zero in the house, and it tastes just like regular coke. I've just added Pepsi Next to my food shopping list.
Anonymous on 04/20/2012:
I tried Pepsi NEXT, its good but I don't think it will be a hit. The complaint I have about it is with the 4 different sweeteners it contains.
Starlord on 04/22/2012:
I must agree with Wally on this one. I can't figure out why the blue Susie you need HFCS, aapartame and sucralose and another sweetener in the same recipe. Normally, we are Pepsi One fans, as it is sweetened with Splenda (sucralose), but we both tasted the aspartame aftertaste, Crystal got the headache, but I escaped it this time. We will pass on Next.
ED on 07/04/2012:
I never thought I'd do this, but I just realized that after 50 years of drinking, I cannot go a day without a sip of Pepsi.
I have had many situations in restaurants where I specificaly ordered Pepsi, and was served your Competor's drink instead. On one occasion the server said "they're both the same". Can you imagine say hat to a severe Pepsi drinker????. I received a free dinner after I confronted the Manager advising that we consumers know the difference between Pepsi and C. LOL LOL When I ask for Pepsi I want Pepsi. Luv u
Ed firstname.lastname@example.com
DebtorBasher on 07/04/2012:
I'm the same way with my Coca~Cola, Ed.
I HATE when I order a 'Coke' and they bring me a Poopsie without even telling me ... I send it back and tell them I didn't ordere Poopsie and of course, like you said, they say, 'It's the same'...We know our colas, don't try to tell us there's no difference!!!

Girl Scouts of Colorado provides leadership training to girls through a network of staff and volunteers. To help its mentors work more productively on developing programs and coordinating fundraising, the organization needed to update its messaging and collaboration technology; but, with only one IT worker and a hefty server maintenance contract, Girl Scouts of Colorado could not afford to buy and maintain more physical infrastructure. Instead, it subscribed to Microsoft Online Services, avoided U.S.$50,000 in upgrade costs, retired 50 percent of its servers, and saved $21,600 in annual costs by retiring its original webinar service. With a rich, web-based email client, online collaboration capabilities, web conferencing, and instant messaging, Girl Scouts of Colorado personnel are working more productively to make a difference in the lives of nearly 30,000 girls across the state.
Soon after taking on her role as CEO, Ferland realized that Girl Scouts of Colorado needed a significant technology overhaul. At the main office, the server hosting Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 messaging and collaboration software was at the end of its life and required rebooting twice a week. Another server hosted a basic collaboration solution based on Windows SharePoint Services; however, this was not used for anything other than storing documents. Meanwhile, the organization had four Windows-based servers running file/print services distributed among six regional offices across the state, with another 12 servers located at the main office in Colorado. With multiple versions of any given document stored at different offices, it was difficult for anyone to know which was the most current.
In addition, each office had its own phone system, so placing a call to colleagues around the state incurred long-distance costs. To facilitate intraregional meetings, Girl Scouts of Colorado was paying U.S.$1,800 a month for a third-party web conferencing solution. Also, staff had problems with the organization's remote access solution. To access files from home, employees had to initiate a virtual private network session and then launch the Microsoft Office Outlook messaging and collaboration client, which was cumbersome and caused confusion.
"It became apparent from my first day that the lack of appropriate, useful, up-to-date technology was literally grounding us," says Ferland. "We had just reorganized from six regional councils to a single, statewide council, so very quickly we became focused on how do we connect staff from Grand Junction to Yuma, from Trinidad to Fort Collins? How do we facilitate staff being able to work together across functions and on a wide range of complex projects with the technology infrastructure that we had at that point? The quick answer was: we couldn't."
The Girl Scouts of Colorado wanted to focus on building great programs for the state's 2,700 active Girl Scout troops, not on keeping aging technology running. Ferland envisioned a more up-to-date IT platform that would support seamless communications among management and volunteers as they worked to enrich the council's programs and mentor the girls. Yet, as a nonprofit organization that relies on fundraising drives and cookie sales, Girl Scouts of Colorado had to find a cost-effective way to upgrade its IT systems.
At the same time, most of the staff and volunteers' level of computing skills dictated that any new solutions would have to be easy to use. Not all the employees had learned how to make use of the existing technology. For example, management staff did not use shared calendars in Office Outlook to organize meetings and would write out their calendars for the receptionist at the front desk each week.
The council was already paying a third-party IT solution provider to maintain its servers, so Girl Scouts of Colorado first turned to this provider for a quote on purchasing new servers and migrating to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. The bid was more than $50,000. The council decided to get an independent assessment of its IT environment and another opinion about the best way to move forward. "We knew we needed more available, reliable systems to work collaboratively across functions and across the state, but we also knew we needed significant technology support," says Ferland. "We just needed to find the best solution and the best support at a price point we could afford."
"Statera helped us identify Business Productivity Online as the best way to help us work from a camp property, an office building, or a lodge, from very rural locations with limited connectivity to major urban centers," says Ferland. "The solution would enable us to have staff in all of those different situations come together and be as productive as they needed to be to support our council across the state. Statera was fantastic about interviewing people to learn what we do and ultimately helping us to understand the value of cloud services and moving towards a whole new way of using technology."
Statera also discussed the security requirements that Girl Scouts of Colorado had regarding data and email communications. "After we explained about the controls that Microsoft has in place at its data centers, such as adhering to International Organization for Standardization 27002 [an information security management standard], the council felt very comfortable about going with a Microsoft cloud-based solution," says McNeill.
The second phase of the deployment involved migrating data to SharePoint Online. "We consolidated more than 100 gigabytes of data from the existing Windows SharePoint Services implementation in the Denver office and from the many file servers around the state," says McNeill. "We worked with Girl Scouts management to create a new taxonomy for their files in SharePoint and to design a topology for the site that made sense for the organization. We built sub-sites around each department, for example cookie sales, human resources, and finance. We also built an intranet site where everyone can go to get information, and, for each employee, we created a site that they could use for their own purposes."
About two weeks before the go-live date of April 2011, Statera started moving the data, mapping it to different locations in the SharePoint Online environment. The weekend before the go-live date, Statera performed a delta synchronization of all data that had changed since the initial upload and got everything up-to-date so that on Monday morning all the latest files were ready to access through SharePoint Online.
By the end of the project, all 180 Girl Scouts of Colorado employees were enrolled in the Business Productivity Online Standard Suite. "The transition to the cloud was relatively seamless and made a significant impact on our staff's productivity," says Ferland. "Once the staff harnessed the power of the new tools, they were amazed at how their collaboration and organizational efficiency improved. Now we are hosting more than 50 live meetings a month!"
When Girl Scouts of Colorado has had a few months to familiarize itself with online computing, Statera plans to introduce the council to Microsoft Office 365, the next generation of Microsoft Online Services. "Office 365 offers a seamless upgrade from Business Productivity Online and has many new features, such as an increased level of control over the Exchange Online environment and external access for outside users to collaborate in the SharePoint Online environment," says McNeill. "And Lync Online, the next iteration of Office Communications Online, allows federation with instant messaging communities such as MSN, Yahoo!, and AOL."
The online collaboration solution also helps a cadre of dedicated volunteers across the state to plan events and manage fundraising programs. "Before we moved to Business Productivity Online, volunteers either had to try and make it all work on the phone, or they would have to physically get together," says Ferland. "In Colorado, the weather can be difficult, so being able to have those volunteers get together via Live Meeting to work out the details of their programs is a huge step forward. People are a lot happier now, because they do not have to drive through blinding snowstorms to plan an event."
Thanks to the rich calendaring and meeting organization capabilities in Office Outlook and Office Live Meeting, employees are no longer wasting time writing out their schedules for other people to check. "Business Productivity Online has really helped us with being able to open up Outlook and share calendars with anyone else in the organization," says Mountain. "Anyone can look at a calendar and find a meeting room without involving the receptionist."
Additionally, increased use of computer-to-computer calling among staff at regional offices has reduced telephone costs. Girl Scouts of Colorado has retired its third-party web conferencing solution because now employees are using Office Live Meeting to conduct online meetings and train volunteers. "We used to spend $21,600 a year on our webinar service," says Franko. "With Live Meeting, we could retire our old webinar service, save that expense, and expand our online services all at once."
Adds McNeill, "The cost savings from cancelling the contract for their previous web conferencing service covers the monthly cost of the whole Business Productivity Online contract."
"With the move to Business Productivity Online, we have been able to take the staff, who used to spend way too much time trying to keep servers running, and have those very talented people dedicate themselves to supporting our teams working together across the state," says Ferland. "It has been a huge improvement for us in terms of productivity and morale across the council."
"I used to say that we were in the Dark Ages with our technology," Ferland concludes. "But what Business Productivity Online has meant for Girl Scouts of Colorado, I can sum up in three words: up-to-date."

Girl Scouts of Colorado has 10,000 volunteers who mentor nearly 30,000 girls. Chartered by Girl Scouts of the USA, the largest leadership development organization for girls in the world, it has 180 employees.
To help staff work more productively, Girl Scouts of Colorado needed to update its on-premises communication and collaboration solutions, but it could not afford to buy and maintain more servers.
The organization chose the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite, which answered its need for low-cost, low-maintenance integrated communication and collaboration services.

WHAT IS IT? The second goggle model produced by a company with deep roots in the motocross industry (and run by Dale Davis). The first was the Xtreme Perspective goggle.
CONTACT? Your local dealer or www.xtrememx.com.
WHAT'S IT DO? It was a logical progression for Xtreme, a company with a long heritage in the sport of motocross, to expand their product line. Over the years, Xtreme has been best known for its humorous T-shirt designs and affordable racing gear (pants, gloves, helmets and jerseys). Last year the company focused their attention on entering the highly competitive goggle market. How do we know that Xtreme has made the goggle business a priority? In the past six months, Xtreme has released two new goggle models.
ÿÿ The MXA wrecking crew tested the Xtreme Perspective goggle in the August 2008 issue. We enjoyed the Perspective goggle and gave it a good rating (three stars out of five), although we voiced our complaint that the Perspective needed multiple layers of foam. Xtreme's design department answered quickly with the new Viewpoint goggle. It features three layer foam and a competitive price.ÿ
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Xtreme Viewpoint goggle.
(1) Frame. If you're like most MXA test riders, you prefer a goggle that offers extensive peripheral vision. To accomplish this feat, it takes a wide frame. The Viewpoint goggle meets MXA's peripheral demands with flying colors. The Viewpoint goggle seats well in most helmets, but has a tendency to protrude slightly due to the extensively thick goggle foam.
(2) Foam. Xtreme obviously listened to our complaint about the single layer of foam on the Perspective goggle. They added three layers of foam to the Viewpoint and chose a foam density and thickness that makes the Viewpoint stand out as having the most foam on the market. How did they accomplish this feat? The first layer is comprised of thin, open-cell foam. The second layer is an equally thin layer of dense cell foam. The final layer is a 15mm-thick layer of medium density foam. This borders on foam overkill. Why? The foam is so thick that it moves the lens of the goggle farther away from the rider's face than any goggle we know of (save for over-the-glasses models). The Viewpoint goggle takes some getting used to, but you can adapt to the feeling after a short time on the track.
(3) Strap. The Perspective goggle strap is a typical 1-1/2 inches wide and includes three beads of silicone to prevent strap slippage. What we enjoyed most was the system used to tighten or loosen the strap, which afforded us a precise fit. We also enjoyed the outrigger system on the frame.
(4) Lens. The biggest problem with mirrored lenses is that they scratch easily. Not so with the Viewpoint lens. The lens is scratch resistant and anti-fogging. Additionally, the lens includes tear-off posts. We would like to see a post on the frame to help keep the tear-offs from flapping in our eyes.
(5) Place of manufacture. The Xtreme Viewpoint goggle is made in Taiwan.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? Be careful what you ask for. The MXA wrecking crew whined that the Xtreme Perspective goggle didn't have enough foam, so would it be bad form for us to whine that the Viewpoint has too much foam?
It takes time to get used to the thickness of the foam, but this is a high-quality goggle at a very attractive price.

Open house at the Otto Wagner Hofpavillon Hietzing in Vienna– on 21 to 22 June 2014
At the Hietzing subway station stands "Pavillon des k.u.k. Allerhöchsten Hofes" ("Pavillon of the k.u.k. of the highest Court") designed by Otto Wagner and opened in 1899. He served to the emperor and his guests and members of the court as entry and exit point when they travelled once with the Wiener Stadtbahn.
The central space of the Hofpavillon, the waiting room of the Emperor, contained a table and chairs in front of a view of Vienna by Carl Moll. Here was also a desk so that the Emperor was able to work during the waiting period. And it was possible to send telegrams from the loggia.
Due to disrepair, the site of the Vienna Museum had to be closed for a few years. Thanks to an extensive renovation by the construction and building management of the City of Vienna (MA 34) the architectural jewel is once again open to the public.
Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22 from 10 am to 18 pm
Free admission on both days!
Thereafter, the Pavilion will be open every Saturday and Sunday 10-18 clock.

The Synagogue of Subotica listed as one of the Europe's 7 most endangered monuments and sites by Europa Nostra
Europa Nostra announced on 4 May in Vienna the list of the Europe's 7 most endangered monuments and sites, among them, the Synagogue in Subotica.
This is one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau religious architecture in Central Europe. Designed by Hungarian architects Marcell Komor and Dezsö Jakab and built in 1902, the Synagogue of Subotica combines a modern concrete and steel structure with traditional decorative elements from Hungarian Folk Art. It is acknowledged as a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance.
At the time the synagogue was built the city had a large Jewish population of around 3,000 people. After World War II, this number fell and a building of this size could no longer be sustained. Nonetheless, the synagogue remains of huge importance to the Jewish community both locally and internationally.
The building was used by the Subotica National Theatre for a number of years but is now empty, with visitor access available only one day a week, and its condition has inevitably deteriorated.
Despite the restoration works undertaken in recent decades, the building remains highly endangered. International expertise and solidarity are needed to save this architectural and cultural gem. Urgent action is therefore needed.
Rescue missions will be organised during and after the summer and feasible action plans proposed by the end of the year.

Publication Emile and Henriette Gallé Correspondence 1875-1904
Publication recommended by our partner of Ecole de Nancy Museum
If the "Writings for art" which brings together many texts of Gallé that his wife Henriette published in 1908, four years after the death of her husband, say a lot of our artist (born in 1846 in Nancy, where he died in 1904 ), they do not tell the whole story. Only his extensive correspondence enables actually to grasp his complex personality of man and artist. What is revealed here is certainly the inaccessible part, also the most intimate, of the correspondence of our artist which must be considered as unpublished: the one, crossed between the two spouses, preserved by their descendants.

Terrible blaze at the Glasgow School of Art – 23 May 2014
A terrible blaze, which started in the basement just before lunchtime, hit the Glasgow School of Art on 23 May 2014.
Firefighters who were at the scene within four minutes of receiving the first emergency call brought the fire under control, but it damaged much of the west wing of the Category-A listed building where students were preparing for their final-year degree show.
Besides the "hen run", the library, which housed rare and archival materials including periodicals from the early 19th century and publications about Mackintosh, was destroyed. A team of specialist conservation staff from Historic Scotland is now working with the school's own archivists to retrieve and conserve vulnerable materials.
The school site remained under the control of the Scottish fire and rescue service until Friday 30 May for the salvage operation. Students from the Glasgow School of Art formed a guard of honour to send fire crews on their way as they left the campus.
The art school said that online donations had grown into tens of thousands of pounds, and it was overwhelmed with offers of practical support from conservators, curators and specialists around the world.

This page provides links to essays on a variety of topics. Essays are not exercises, they don't present a task to challenge you, but instead provide extended discussion and complete source code. Though essays are often based on exercises, they are larger, providing more space to delve more deeply into the topic at hand. New essays are added from time to time, so be sure to check back often.
Programming with Prime Numbers: Prime numbers are those integers greater than one that are divisible only by themselves and one; an integer greater than one that is not prime is composite. In this essay we examine three problems related to prime numbers: enumerating the prime numbers, determining if a given number is prime or composite, and factoring a composite number into its prime factors. Source code: C, Haskell, Java, Python, Scheme. Comments HERE.
Text File Databases: Much of the work done by computers involved reading in a file and either transforming it to some output format, perhaps changing it along the way, or summarizing it in some fashion. This essay presents a library of readers, writers, combinators and processors that provide a useful approach to such tasks. The library is written in Scheme, and relies on passing functions as parameters to other functions, so it is easily portable to other "functional" languages but difficult or impossible to port to strictly "imperative" languages. Source code: LIBRARY, TESTING. Comments HERE.
SRFI-41 Streams: Streams, sometimes called lazy lists, are a sequential data structure containing elements computed only on demand. A stream is either null or is a pair with a stream in its cdr. Since elements of a stream are computed only when accessed, streams can be infinite. Once computed, the value of a stream element is cached in case it is needed again. R5RS source code HERE. R6RS source code: streams.ss, primitive.ss, derived.ss. Testing code: R5RS, R6RS. Samples from the text HERE. Original SRFI-41 Streams web page HERE with HTML version of text HERE.

I'd like to humbly submit my services to the developers here at Touch Arcade. I've been creating video game soundtracks for over ten years and use a host of professional-grade tools. I have performed in bands and created soundtracks for several iOS games.
I'm a huge fan of classic game soundtracks and try to capture a bit of the 8-bit flavor while providing modern instrumentation. I also like to create orchestral tracks and CRPG style tracks. I strive to create atmospheric tracks that create excitement and add ambience to games. Professional iOS apps feature crisp, fluid graphics, so why not have a sound track to match?
Just check out my SoundCloud page for various examples of my work. For a limited time, you can get a title track and two in-game tracks creating specifically to match your upcoming iOS hit for a low price of $275. This is only available to the first 5 requestors. I'll also create single tracks for $100 each. This is a fraction of what you'd pay normally for a unique track. This price include full rights, meaning the song is 100% yours. Every game should have unique music and I won't be reselling your tracks to others.
To show you what you'd get for your money, I'll also provide uniquely created short, looping background track, perfect for a menu screen, game over screen or configuration screen totally free! It's yours to use whether you'd like any further tracks or not. Everything I create is customized to the style and feel of your game.
The App store is a great place for creative folks to build some amazing games. I want your project to sound as polished as it can without breaking the bank. I can afford to offer such low prices because I love what I do. Send me a private message today to get your free short loop and find out more about my services.
BeatScribe RepeatScribe - LIMITED TIME OFFER
Repeat Customers Get 25% Off on End of Year Orders!
It's time to start a new tradition. I'd like to thank all my loyal customers who have made this last year truly epic. I produced more than 50 commercial songs in 2012 and I would never have been able to do it without all the creative people who gave my songs something to play behind and, more often than not, inspired me with their art and ideas to create things I never would have come up with on my own.
For this reason, I'm introducing the BeatScribe RepeatScribe End of Year Sale. Anyone whose ordered even a single song from me before, gets 25% off their next order starting November 1st through January 1st 2013.
There's no limit on order size, if you order 200 songs, you still get 25% off. If you've got several game projects in the pipeline, why not put in your first order in the next few days. If you put in an order before November 1st, you'll qualify for the RepeatScribe discount!

Beatscribe did the music for our game RoboHero and it turned out spectacular.
He worked closely with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted to match the mood and pacing, and even tried to understand me when I said I wanted it to go a little more "dundun badum dun dummm."
Top notch guy!
Thanks Bravado Waffle! You guys were a pleasure to work with too! I'm super excited about your future projects!
Added Orchestral composition samples from a recent job.
Hey Beatscribe,
Checked out your work, some very nice stuff there! As a composer and sound designer myself, I'd strongly recommend you not give away full rights to your music, especially for the price you're offering. While your prices are very low, I totally understand that whatever the market will bear is what you should charge, but if you give away full rights to your intellectual property, you never again have the opportunity to earn revenue from it. You should be developing a library of tracks for future use!
As an example: I scored a very popular iPhone game back in 2010, and I gave the developer a year long exclusive license to use the music in their game (meaning I retained ownership of the music, but they would have exclusive rights to use it for the first year). After the year was up, I still owned the tracks and have re-licensed several of them elsewhere for additional revenue. In fact, just last month one of the tracks from that game was placed in an MTV UK show, from which I will earn residuals.
I'd recommend using a simple contract with your music buyers that lets them use it royalty-free in perpetuity, but that retains your right to re-license it.
Sent you a PM. Please get back to me. Thanks!
Thanks for your words AtomIcon. I will take those things into consideration. Appreciate all the positive feedback thus far. I'm glad this community is more cooperative than some others I have been part of.
Had some requests to get downloadable versions a few tracks on my SC, so, request granted! Unreleased samples and a few other songs on my SoundCloud are now downloadable. Enjoy!
Just worked with Beatscribe on a game. Was a real pleasure to work with and helped create great custom music for my game. A musical genius. Will def use him again on other games. Thanks!
BeatScribe made the music for our iOS app version of Fealty. Came out great, and was good to work with!
