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 over a dozen 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, Austin 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:
