Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Pepsi One shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Pepsi One offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Pepsi One at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Pepsi One? Wrong! If the Pepsi One is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Pepsi One then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Pepsi One? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Pepsi One and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Pepsi One wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Pepsi One then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Pepsi One site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Pepsi One, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Pepsi One, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
{{Infobox Beverage|name=Pepsi ONE|image=|type=Diet soda Cola|origin=[USA|discontinued=|related= [Pepsi Max, Pepsi X,
Diet Pepsi,
Diet Coke,
Coca-Cola Zero per eight-[fluid ounce (230 ml) serving) is a
sugar-free cola, marketed by PepsiCo, Inc. in the
United States as an alternative to regular Pepsi and
Diet Pepsi.
On June 30,
1998, the artificial sweetener acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) was approved for use by the
Food and Drug Administration. PepsiCo responded within one hour, announcing the introduction of Pepsi ONE (which reached store shelves the following October). This new variety was based upon an earlier product (sold in other countries) called Pepsi Max, but it featured a formula and
flavor profile developed specifically for the U.S. market.
The launch of Pepsi ONE included an advertising campaign featuring actor Cuba Gooding, Jr. and the Advertising slogan "just one calorie." Subsequently, comedian
Tom Green appeared as the spokesperson.
Formula
As in Pepsi Max, the aforementioned acesulfame potassium was combined with
aspartame to provide the beverage's sweetness. Some consumers claimed that this resulted in a better taste than that of other diet colas (most of which were sweetened with aspartame alone).
After several years of declining sales, a new formula was introduced in early
2005, replacing aspartame with Splenda brand
sucralose. (Acesulfame potassium remained the secondary sweetener.) This change was accompanied by new packaging and a new advertising campaign. The same year, Pepsi's long-time rival launched
Coca-Cola Zero (sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium) and Diet Coke.
The current Pepsi ONE ingredients are: carbonated water, caramel color, natural and artificial flavors, phosphoric acid,
potassium benzoate (preserves freshness), sucralose (Splenda brand), caffeine,
citric acid, and acesulfame potassium.
