Pepsi Max Addict

My name is Darby and I have been a Pepsi Max addict for five years. While coffee may be my passion and hobby to make the perfect shot of espresso, Pepsi Max I cannot live without. Not so much for its caffeine content but for something not written on the label that allows to increased productivity and concentration in what ever you are doing. Leave me a lone in a room with a 2L bottle and for sure its gone within an hour. And take the Max away from me and I suffer from withdrawal symptoms like headaches, general fatigue, poor motivation and irritability. I am not alone in this battle with Pepsi Max addiction.

My wife was the one who introduced me to this drug and she remains a hardcore junky that loves to push my addiction. I remember the day she introduced me to Pepsi Max... I thought she was joking when she angrily told me to run to the store and get 8L of Pepsi Max before she kicked my ass. Later on I truly understood the power of her addiction when her marathon performance went bad because apparently in Germany they only sell Coke products (yes, there is a difference). And I used to laugh at her addiction until I realized I too had slowly become addicted without noticing. We are not alone in our addictions either, as I can say some of my friends suffer too from Pepsi Max addiction (if your name begins with a P and ends with ekka then I might be talking about you).

Why is Pepsi Max so addicting? I quickly snap off a question to my good friend Google that shows many other stories of Pepsi Max addiction but with no conclusion as to the causes. Perhaps Pepsi is actually stealing a page from the original Coke recipe? I will give one bottle of Pepsi Max to the first person who can explain the addictive powers of Pepsi Max.

Awesome! Once I even got hospitalized because of drinking non-Pepsi Max.
