• Blind Taste Test: Challengers are presented with two unmarked cups – Cup A and Cup B – containing Pepsi Zero Sugar and Coke Zero Sugar.
• Taste and Decide: Challengers sample both cups, taking their time to decide which they prefer.
• Make Your Choice: Challengers select their favorite cola which triggers unique celebratory moments for those with great taste.
• Score Pepsi: Pepsi will reward all challenge participants with free Pepsi Zero Sugar, because even those with questionable taste deserve a second chance.
