They are not yet available in Belgium, but I bought them in France (only 25 kilomters away): Coca-Cola Blak (available in a bottle-shaped can or in a cylindrical can) and Pepsi Max Cappuccino. Blak has the strong, bitter-aromatic aftertaste of real coffee. Cappuccino has a milder taste, a mix of vanilla and light coffee. According to Wikipedia, Pepsi Max Cappuccino is available in France, Finland, Ireland and Norway. In the UK it is known as Pepsi Max Coffee Cino, in Malaysia as Pepsi Tarik. In some Eastern European and Central American countries you can buy Pepsi Cappuccino, which is probably the non-diet, sugar-containing version.


I also bought Pepsi X Energy Cola. The real stuff in energy drinks, Red Bull, is not available in France because its taurine content. Coca Cola Blak and Pepsi X Energy Cola both have a high caffeine content: 200 mg/l for Coca Cola Blak, 196 mg/l for Pepsi X Energy Cola, twice as much as in the regular cola drinks. Which makes Coca Cola Blak also an "energy drink", I guess.

Last but not least, I also bought "Pepsi Max Citron - Citron Vert". I'm not sure if this is the same as Pepsi Max Cool Lemon, which is available in Belgium, but it seems to be the same as Diet Pepsi Lime in the US.
