During the fall of 1998, Pepsi introduced Pepsi ONE, followed by an ambitious advertising campaign with the main slogan of "just one calorie." The cola introduced the use of Acesulfame potassium and aspartame to attain one calorie (Pepsi reformulated Pepsi ONE in 2005, and Pepsi ONE is now Splenda based).
Pepsi has also been alleged to practice "water piracy" due to its role in over exploitation of ground water resources resulting in scarcity of drinking water for the natives of Pudussery panchayat in Palakkad distict in Kerala, India.
Pepsi Edge - Contains half the carbohydrates, calories and sugars of a normal Pepsi, and is flavored by Splenda.
