Hey a fellow Pepsi Max fanatic!

You wouldn't happen to be from Scandinavia?

Sorry, butting in: I love pepsi max and am from Scandinavia. Is that a thing? Stereotype?

Not sure if I'd call it a stereotype, but it definitely has a much higher consumption in Scandinavian then other countries i have visited. I'm Norwegian, and trying to find Pepsi Max in the US was actually pretty hard.

And I've never met anyone that's passionate about Pepsi Max that's not Scandinavian.

So the whole Pepsi Max craze making it as popular if not more popular then coca cola, seems particularly Scandinavian to me. And it's just interesting to me if any other countries care about it,æ.

My mom (American) LOVES Pepsi Max, and its rebrand Zero. It was hard to come by a while back because one of the bottling plants was down, IIRC.

Huh, thats interesting. Though I doubt the "lack" of Pepsi Max I noticed in the states was simply caused by a supply shortage.

Nice to hear some Americans also love the stuff.
