## About <!--about-->
Diet Pepsi Lemon 2 L is a lemon-flavoured version of Diet Pepsi, PepsiCo's sugar-free cola, in a two-litre size for the United States market.[^usda] USDA Branded Foods records it under this UPC as "Lemon Diet Cola", with Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as brand owner, a 2 L package and an 8 fl oz serving.[^usda] The label statement USDA captured in 2023 sweetens it with aspartame and lists natural flavour, citric acid, potassium citrate, caffeine and calcium disodium EDTA alongside the usual cola ingredients.[^usda] Lemon is one of several flavours, with wild cherry, vanilla and lime, that PepsiCo has added to Diet Pepsi over the years.[^wikidietpepsi]

Diet Pepsi was launched nationally in the United States in 1964 as the first diet cola distributed across the country.[^wikidietpepsi] PepsiCo's product facts site does not recognise this barcode.[^ppfgtin]
