Pepsi Next
Pepsi Next (stylized as pepsi next or pepsi NEXT) was a cola-flavored carbonated soft drink produced by PepsiCo from 2012 until 2015. It was a variant of the Pepsi cola range and was marketed in a number of territories worldwide with varying different flavors.
Pepsi Edge, Pepsi's first mid-calorie cola, was introduced in 2004 and discontinued only two years later. PepsiCo, towards the end of the 2000s, found a new interest in mid-calorie beverages and then released G2 in 2007, a version of Gatorade with less than half the calories, and then Trop50, a juice blend, with 50% the calories of regular juice. In September 2007, PepsiCo filed for trademarks in the US Patent and Trademark Office, for "Pepsi Next", and "Diet Pepsi Next".[citation needed]
In June 2011, PepsiCo announced that Pepsi Next was going to be moved into two test markets, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. After testing, on February 27, 2012, PepsiCo announced the launch of Pepsi Next.
Pepsi Next was first introduced in France in March 2013, and in Finland and Canada in March 2014. Stevia extract is used in all three markets.[citation needed]
In some markets it was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, sugar, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose, and marketed toward drinkers of full-calorie Pepsi, and those who do not enjoy the taste of Diet Pepsi, Pepsi ONE, Pepsi Max, and other diet colas.
On June 25, 2013, PepsiCo informed their Facebook readers that the new formulation of Pepsi Next no longer contained aspartame, the artificial sweetener used in many diet soft drinks including Diet Pepsi, hence some bottles sold in the U.S. read 'aspartame free'. However, the continued presence of acesulfame potassium means this version of the product still contained artificial sweeteners.[citation needed]
In other marketing areas, including Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand, where it was marketed as having "30% less sugar", Pepsi Next was sweetened using an extract from stevia and had no artificial sweeteners.[citation needed]
In the Australian market, Pepsi Next was bottled by Schweppes Australia and is sweetened by stevia which reduces the sugar content by 30% compared to regular Pepsi.
