Choose a multipack of 330ml cans if you want to take one sealed drink at a time in your gym bag. Pick the recipe before the pack count: regular colas differ in sugar content, zero-sugar colas are not necessarily caffeine-free, and avoiding both sugar and caffeine calls for a variant explicitly labelled caffeine-free. Check the exact can label and choose a pack size you can store and use.
A multipack of separate 330ml cans lets you take a single sealed drink rather than carry a larger bottle. Recipe and pack count still matter: one can is the portion you take, while the rest need somewhere to be stored.
Choose the exact zero-sugar variant rather than relying on the brand name. PepsiCo lists 0g sugars per 330ml for Pepsi Max; check the nutrition panel on any other can you are considering.
Look for caffeine-free wording on the specific product. Pepsi Max and Pepsi Max No Caffeine are different variants, so a zero-sugar label alone does not settle the caffeine question.
Start with the recipe you want, then compare the information for one can and the number of cans in the pack.
Consider it when: You specifically want a sugar-containing cola recipe.
Bear in mind: Sugar content differs between products sold as regular cola; compare the exact can rather than treating them as equivalent.
Consider it when: Avoiding sugar matters, but caffeine is not a reason for your choice.
Bear in mind: Pepsi Max lists caffeine among its flavourings; zero sugar does not mean caffeine-free.
Consider it when: You want to avoid both sugar and caffeine.
Bear in mind: Caffeine-free is a separate variant designation. Check that it appears on the exact multipack you intend to buy.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar per can | Read the sugars and energy values for the exact 330ml can, not just the figures per 100ml. Tesco lists Coca-Cola Original Taste at 35g sugars and 139kcal per 330ml; its Pepsi Cola listing gives 15g sugars and 61kcal per 330ml. | I want to know what is in the single can I would take with me, or choose a specifically labelled zero-sugar recipe. |
| Caffeine | Check the variant name and ingredients separately from the sugar declaration. PepsiCo lists caffeine among Pepsi Max flavourings and identifies Pepsi Max No Caffeine as a separate product. | If I am avoiding caffeine, I need the can itself to be labelled caffeine-free; zero sugar on its own is not enough. |
| One-can format | Confirm the can size and that the pack contains separate cans. Protect cans from knocks in a bag; Tesco's Pepsi Cola listing cautions that they are pressurised containers. | Taking one sealed 330ml can works better for my bag than carrying a larger shared bottle. |
| Pack count | Check both the number and size of cans. Tesco lists examples of 8 x 330ml and 24 x 330ml cola multipacks. | I only need to carry one can at a time, but I also need somewhere suitable to keep the remaining cans. |
Tesco lists 35g sugars per 330ml can for Coca-Cola Original Taste and 15g per 330ml can for its Pepsi Cola listing. Choosing by the word ‘regular’ alone misses that difference.
Compare the nutrition panel for the exact flavour and can size you plan to take.
Pepsi Max lists caffeine among its flavourings, while Pepsi Max No Caffeine is a distinct variant. The sugar declaration does not answer whether the drink contains caffeine.
If caffeine avoidance matters, look for an explicit caffeine-free designation and check the can's ingredients.
Brand names cover different recipes; use the specific variant and can label to make the comparison.
The Coca-Cola range includes Original Taste and separately named zero-sugar and caffeine-free variants. Tesco lists Coca-Cola can multipacks in 330ml sizes.
The Pepsi products covered here include Pepsi Cola, Pepsi Max and Pepsi Max No Caffeine; Tesco lists Pepsi-family 330ml can multipacks.
RC Cola International presents RC Cola as part of its international soft-drink range.
These multipacks offer separate 330ml cans across regular-sugar, zero-sugar and caffeine-free cola variants. Choose by the exact recipe as well as the number of cans.

This regular-sugar recipe comes in 24 separate 330ml cans. Tesco lists Coca-Cola Original Taste at 35g sugars and 139kcal per 330ml can; check the current can label if those figures affect your choice.
It can suit a one-drink-at-a-time routine because you can take one sealed can from a multipack. Keep it protected from knocks: Tesco's Pepsi Cola product information cautions that cans are pressurised containers.
Choose by the recipe and the sugar declaration on the exact can. For example, Tesco lists Coca-Cola Original Taste at 35g sugars per 330ml, while PepsiCo lists Pepsi Max at 0g sugars per 330ml; the two drinks are different variants, not interchangeable nutrition figures for every cola.
Not necessarily. PepsiCo lists caffeine among Pepsi Max flavourings and offers a separately named Pepsi Max No Caffeine variant. If you want to avoid caffeine, check for the caffeine-free designation on the specific can you buy.
