Diet Pepsi Question

For those hardcore diet soft drink consumers, has anyone noticed if the Diet Pepsi carried on board is the aspartame-free variety? Not looking for a debate on which tastes better, or which sweetner will kill you faster -- just trying to be prepared! :)

It comes out of one of those soda guns that a bartender has. No way to tell. I would guess its not.

If you have a drink package, then the soda (incl. Diet Pepsi) is fountain soda (from a "gun"). But if you are paying for the soda without any drink package, you can ask for a canned soda instead of the fountain type (at least that is what I do myself) - and that includes Diet Pepsi on can. But I have no idea if it is with or without the aspartam sweetener.

On the Jade recently, the small bar inside but towards the back of the buffet poured Diet Pepsi from cans even though we were on the UBP. Don't know which sweetener was in the cans though.

Jade September/October 2016 canned soda was the new kind without aspartame. It was the taller skinny cans but that could be due to Europe sailing. I'm a Diet Pepsi in a can fanatic. I wasn't crazy about the fountain soda they included in the UBP so drank the cans from the mini bar in the room replaced upon consumption by room steward. They are not included in the UBP.

I was on the Jade in November, I'm pretty sure the on tap stuff was the new aspartame free crap. I can't stand the new formula.

Drink the Pepsi Zero Sugar. Just like Coke Zero, it has aspartame as it's sweetener.

Are you talking about on the ship? I have yet to see Pepsi Zero Sugar on NCL. Have you?

No...I wish it was on the ship. Have not seen it via fountain anywhere. I was just commenting that Pepsi Zero Sugar as well as Coke Zero both contain aspartame, which used to be the sweetener in Diet Pepsi and Diet Cherry Pepsi.

Pepsi removed aspartame from diet, caffeine free and diet wild cherry drinks:
