Following last year’s announcement that it was removing aspartame from its Diet Pepsi brand in favor of a blend of sucralose and acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc. will be bringing the artificial sweetener back to its portfolio, according to media reports.

Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo’s Pepsi brand announced it is taking the world’s global language — emojis — offline in a visually striking and socially shareable campaign, inviting consumers to Say It With Pepsi, the company says. With more than 600 proprietary PepsiMoji designs — from over 1 billion bottles and cans to sunglasses and stadiums — in more than 100 markets, this year’s global #PepsiMoji campaign brings a provocative and fresh take on the cultural phenomenon of emojis, it adds. 

For the past several years, the beverage industry has faced an evolution in consumer demand. A consumer drive toward maintaining overall health and wellness has impacted several categories, particularly carbonated soft drinks (CSDs).

Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc. announced that it has reformulated its Diet Pepsi brand, making the product aspartame free.

This summer, Diet Pepsi teamed up with actor Josh Duhamel to surprise Diet Pepsi fans in stores.

PepsiCo introduced a new bottle structure and label for its Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Next and Pepsi Max brands.
