                                In 2015, PepsiCo removed aspartame from Diet Pepsi in the United States in response to consumer concerns, but the new sucralose-sweetened formula was met with significant public backlash over its taste, causing sales to plummet. This led the company to reintroduce an aspartame-sweetened version just one year later.
