## About <!--about-->
Diet Pepsi in a pack of twelve 12 fl oz cans is a United States multipack of PepsiCo's sugar-free cola, recorded by USDA Branded Foods under this UPC with Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as brand owner and a net content of 144 fl oz.[^usda] The label statement USDA holds, available from 2023, sweetens it with aspartame and acesulfame potassium and lists caffeine.[^usda] PepsiCo's product facts page for the 12 fl oz Diet Pepsi gives 35 mg of caffeine per serving.[^ppf12] Diet Pepsi was test-marketed as Patio Diet Cola in 1963 and launched nationally the following year as the first diet cola distributed across the United States.[^wikidietpepsi]

Diet Pepsi switched from aspartame to sucralose in the United States in 2015 and returned to aspartame market-wide on 25 February 2018, the formula this record shows.[^wikidietpepsi]
