50th Anniversary of “The Pepsi Challenge” Comes to Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium

Submitted by the Event Organizer

It’s true – Pepsi Zero Sugar tastes better and is more refreshing than Coke Zero Sugar, based on a nationally conducted taste test. To ensure people across the U.S. can discover this themselves, Pepsi revived The Pepsi Challenge earlier this year.

After 30+ stops so far, Pepsi Zero Sugar is the preferred cola in 100% of Pepsi Challenge markets! Pepsi Zero Sugar isn’t just winning at The Pepsi Challenge – the zero-sugar cola is seeing a 25% purchase increase vs. a year ago*.

Now, Berkeley has the chance to step up, take the challenge, and see for themselves that Pepsi Zero Sugar tastes better.

Further key dates and information are as follows:

WHAT: Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Pepsi Challenge is back, showcasing the refreshing and better-tasting Pepsi Zero Sugar. This multi-market tour, lasting through October, invites everyone to see if they prefer Pepsi Zero Sugar over its zero-sugar rival.

HOW IT WORKS:

• Blind Taste Test: Participants are presented with two unmarked cups containing Pepsi Zero Sugar and Coke Zero Sugar.
• Taste and Decide: Participants sample both cups, taking their time to decide which they prefer.
• Make Your Choice: Participants select their favorite cola, triggering unique celebratory moments for those with great taste.
• Score Pepsi: Pepsi will reward all participants with free Pepsi Zero Sugar, because even those with questionable taste deserve a second chance.
