Anyone else slightly addicted to Pepsi Max

[SmallHouse]

Slight newbie here, so apologies if I'm in the wrong forum!

My SO and I often go to a large supermarket-esque warehouse (unsure if I can say) and I've found myself each time buying an entire palette of Pepsi Max. I cannot help myself!

I feel some days i drink 3-4 cans of the fizzy pop. A couple of my friends drink a lot too. But is drinking Pepsi Max just a mum thing?!?!

My son caught me with a multipack of 24 in my boot - found it embarrassing but I cannot recall a time when I didn't have a couple of bonus cans in my boot. Mums! Help me!

Pepsi max cherry for me. But only have 1 a day really..

Pepsi, Coke, Dr Pepper. Was addicted to them all.

8 weeks ago I kicked the habit cold turkey. The symptoms were awful, I was a grumpy bitch for about 10 days and the headaches...

8 weeks later, I dont miss them.

Yes! I get a massive migraine if I don't have a can in a couple of days. I purposely limit myself to 1 can a day.

I use to drink tons of Diet Coke. Now more than one gives me cluster headache shadows 🙄

As for Pepsi, it's very sweet, I prefer the diet version.

Now I drink a supermarket own brand sugar and caffeine free version for 28p each, which I prefer over Coke or Pepsi.

DH used to drink 2 litres a day.

He gave it up, lost lots of weight as no longer craving sugary sweet crap and is arthritis is loads better. Only taken him 10 years to listen to me... he feels 20 years younger.

He doesn't drink any other caffeine and very little sweetner these days.

My school also had a 35p can machine. I used to get an apple tango every day. And a jublee at lunchtime so it seems they got us addicted early 😂

Coke Zero for me. I can't have more than 2 cans a day though or it makes me horribly anxious and jittery, which is just as well. I try not to have more than 1 can a day.

I also definitely prefer Pepsi Max to other makes, and I often drink a couple of cans a day . Worse when I was office bases before WFH I'd get though 2 500 ml bottles each day. My favourite is cherry flavour but will drink the plain one if I can't get it .

I drink about 6 cans a day and have done for many years.

It is the first thing I have in the morning.

Yes me!! Or Fanta grape zero
I don’t drink, I don’t smoke (anymore) and I eat healthily most of the time, but an ice cold can of Pepsi max is my vice!

I've got really bad teeth . I thought sugar free drinks were ok

LiZa School was where it started for me too. Lots of the girls would have a bought sandwich, diet coke and apple for lunch daily, we wanted to be thinner. The boys mainly ate chips, it seemed!

Two sick packs, starting with one upon waking, have got me through many a bad camping weekend!

Not really addicted but do like Pepsi Max and Dr Pepper. Try not to drink them too much but did buy a bottle of Pepsi max to drink at work today.

I am tye II diabetic and they do advise not to drink soda too much , even diet drinks but some times, water just won't cut it!

I absolutely loathe Coca Cola. Even the diet one. I made a mistake and had the non diet one. Terrible!

I love the stuff although I try not to have more than two or three a week.

Nothing quite hits the spot like an icy cold Pepsi Max.

Pepsi Max is the pop of choice. The only other fizzy drink I like is Lemon Fanta, but that is only on really hot days.

The weekends its cherry, but the normal Pepsi Max through the week. I have cut down recently though and drink more water. I only have the one can on a Saturday and another on the Sunday. Then I tend to just have half a can on a weeknight now (DH finished the rest of the next day - I can't be doing with already opened cans). I used to have at least 1 a night and 2 or 3 on a Saturday then 4 on a Sunday.

Yep totally addicted here drink a litre a day I'd say. Cans for at work or in the car. A bottle at home. Sometimes will have Dr Pepper Zero instead, but not diet coke or diet Pepsi.

Diet Coke here, must be bottles rather than cans though. If I don’t drink it I eat loads of crap.

Love Pepsi max cherry and raspberry and regularly Pepsi max. HATE Diet Coke.

I'm not. I had a friend who was though.

When he was in hospital for a completely unrelated reason, they couldn't understand why he was suffering so badly with headaches. Then discovered his Pepsi Max addiction and they realised it was withdrawal from caffeine due to the Pepsi max. He stopped drinking it after that.

I fricking LOVE the stuff.. especially on tap

Yes and the Aldi version.

Is the Aldi stuff as good?

Arghhh want a Pepsi max right now

My favourite is the raspberry pepsi max, then cherry, then normal. Never diet and never coke.
