Does Diet Pepsi Max taste good? Does it give a boost of energy?

[Phokus]

Red Bull tastes like crap and i'm sick of it... i need a new energy drink. Does diet pepsi max taste good? Does it wake you up?

 

[BigJ]

Tastes pretty much the same as regular Diet Pepsi.

uhhh, these 'energy' drinks don't actually give you energy, they just you vitamins and other stuff...energy = protein, fat, carbs. hell yeah I learned something in nutrition class.

If you want energy, eat some bread.

Yep.

As far as waking up...same as any energy drink.

I just tried some and it definite tastes different from regular pepsi.
To me, regular pepsi tastes better.

caffeine and whatever those other things (guatamalalamamine and tatooine or whatever) might not be "real" energy but they still wake you up...eating a piece of bread in the morning will not do the same as drinking a cup of coffee.

Diet pepsi max tastes different than regular pepsi. Go figure.

and to the op, I've never had it, I just stick to coffee...I can't drink Red Bull anymore, it just makes me think of jäger bombs.

max has 46mg vs 24mg per 8oz serving + ginseng.

The MAX tastes a bit bolder to me...i like it!

It also uses a different sweetener. I think it tastes much more like Pepsi than Diet Pepsi

 

[Phokus]

maybe i'll try it then... the energy drinks they have at work are horrendous

 

[Capt Caveman]

I like it.

 

[FoBoT]

i drink Diet Pepsi Max and i like it

I rather like Diet Pepsi Max. It's much closer to regular Pepsi in taste than Diet Pepsi. Sweeter.
As far as "energy", It seems about the same as Mountain Dew.

If I want energy, nothing beats coffee.

Shock Coffee isn't the best tasting (though it is the best tasting blend with some robusto IMO)
I make it super strong and it never fails to help wake me up in the AM.

i agree.

i did think it gave a little bigger boost though.

 

[vi edit]

I think it's an amped up version of the "Pepsi One" formula they canned a few years back. Pepsi One was my favorite diet cola. It was the least diet tasting of the bunch.

This is even better. With a bit more punch.

I like it.

 

[Fritzo]

It's a little closer to regular Pepsi than diet Pepsi...but I don't notice it giving me any energy. I like it because it tastes good

 

[IronWing]

Max has an earthy taste and it does have a noticeably stronger stimulant effect than diet pepsi. I prefer the taste of diet pepsi to Max. Max doesn't taste very good with ice.

 

[murphy55d]

its better than diet but not as good as regular. i kinda like it.

 

[Deeko]

I'm drinking one right now - this thread made me try it, ahha. Like most people said, it doesn't taste AS diet-y, but its there to a bit. Don't know about the energy yet.

The only thing in energy drinks that could possibly give you energy are caffeine and sugar. So if you're drinking a sugar-free energy drink you might as well take a caffeine pill, a multivitamin and drink a glass of water.
