Pepsi announced the launch of Pepsi Next, with 60 percent less sugar than Pepsi-Cola.
"We're on a mission to get consumers to experience the real cola taste of Pepsi Next for themselves," said Angelique Krembs, Vice President TM Pepsi Marketing, in a release. "We're excited that after years of research and development, we've unlocked the great taste of Pepsi Next, the choice for consumers who want real cola taste with less sugar."
