I was oh so excited when I saw Pepsi X. I didn't know what it was, but then I checked the label and was overjoyed when I saw it was dragonfruit. Hell, I've added dragonfruit juice to Pepsi before, I knew it would be great! I opened the two liter, took a big swig (like hell if I was gonna share this!), and was immediately disappointed when I noticed a sort of...almost cloudy aftertaste. Overly sweet, artificial. I checked the label and found out why. Ace-K and Splenda. "Is Pepsi X a diet line?" I wondered, and I checked the internet. No, it wasn't a special version of the diet flavors. If I'd bought Max, Edge, One, Diet or any of the other many, many varieties of low-calorie Pepsi I've seen over the years I'd understand, but why are there artificial sweeteners in what's labelled as a flavored, regular Pepsi? Cherry, lemon, and lime have all been normal with diet options, so why not this? I'll probably end up throwing the rest of this out, which is a shame. If there was some indication that this one had artificial sweeteners, I'd have saved my money. I can't stand the grainy mouthfeel of Splenda or flat sweetness of Ace-K. If it came in a variety that just used sugar or even the dreaded corn syrup, I'd never stop buying it. As is, I'd really just like a refund.
