2. Both Pepsi and Coke already tried this gimmick, back in 2004/2005.

Coke had a product called C2. The Pepsi equivalent was Pepsi Edge.

From Wikipedia: "Pepsi Edge: contains half the carbohydrates, calories and sugars of a normal Pepsi, and is flavored by Splenda. Introduced in 2004, and discontinued in 2005. It was featured on an episode of The Apprentice 2 in which teams had to design a prototype bottle."

I have the same reaction now I had back them -- big deal, it's half Diet Pepsi and half regular Pepsi. I've been doing that for years to cut back on the total sugar intake I drink, mixing it either half and half or 2 diet to one regular can.

Talk about re-inventing the wheel.
