Verfügbarkeit für Abholungen konnte nicht geladen werden
This is the classic European export version of Pepsi produced by Royal Unibrew in Denmark. The familiar cola flavor is slightly lighter and less sweet than its American counterpart with a clean refreshing finish. At 330ml it is the standard European can size - perfect alongside a meal or on its own ice cold.
Deep blue 330 ml can carrying the 2023 Pepsi rebrand — the bold globe with PEPSI in black across the centre band. Danish/German bilingual labelling, produced under licence by Royal Unibrew in Faxe, Denmark.
The most nutritionally different cola on the shelf, by a wide margin. This is the European sugar-and-sweetener blend, not the all-sugar formulation: 61 calories and 15 g of sugar per can, against 139 calories and 35 g for a Coca-Cola Original. That is less than half the sugar. If a customer wants a cola without the full sugar load but does not want a zero-sugar drink, this is the one to point them at.

Why this tastes different
European soft drinks are typically sweetened with sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. Corn syrup is the default sweetener in American soft drinks; in Europe it is uncommon, and most people notice it straight away in the taste and the finish.
Six artificial colours — among them Tartrazine (E102) and Sunset Yellow (E110) — must carry a warning about children’s attention on anything sold in the EU. Rather than print that on the bottle, most manufacturers reformulated with natural colouring. European fruit sodas also tend to carry more real juice than the same brand name does elsewhere.
Sugar is still sugar — we are not telling you this is a health drink. The difference is in the flavour and in what else is in the bottle.
