I seem to remember hearing somewhere that aspartame breaks down over time- especially under adverse conditions- into something that's not too nice-tasting. And that diet soft drinks can get quite unpleasant after they're out-of-date for this reason. I'd have expected something that was just chemicals to survive better than sugar-sweetened fizzy drinks, but apparently not. Allowing for that, I was expecting the Pepsi here to be worse than it was, if anything, since it's already approaching a decade out of date. (Edit; after posting this, I noticed that "Peter JF" already made a comment explaining the chemical breakdown and shelf life of aspartame in more detail).

Very interesting. As a control, I’ll put in my experience with this sort of thing. I found a case of orange soda from my uncles graduation party from 1986, and tried one that had remained unopened. This was in 2015 or thereabouts, so it would have been roughly 30 years old, and it was stored in a dark cool basement, and I can confirm that it had little effect on the taste, and it was actually one of the better orange sodas I’ve had. It did use natural sugars, as well as was not exposed to heat or sunlight.

The sheer cackling glee in Stuart's voice when subjecting himself to things probably deemed torture in some places is both a delight and mildly concerning

Only Ashens would look at a bottle of Pepsi covered in Pigeon Poo and ask, "Is anyone gonna drink that?"

I reckon a fair bit of the artificial sweetener (Aspartame) has broken down into Methanol, Formaldehyde, and Formic acid. That would probably explain the taste. That drink is probably quite toxic by now.

The most mind blowing thing about all this is I've been watching Ashens since that Pepsi was bottled and then some. Amazing vid as always Ashens!

I could easily believe that it's well over a decade old considering that's the Diet Pepsi logo that they started using in 2008. I'm guessing it's probably from around 2011 or 2012 if the expiration date is January 2014.

Aspartame has an advisory shelf life of five years under ideal conditions. Prolonged exposure of aspartame to high temperatures and storage leads to its breakdown into aspartylphenylalanine and methanol or in case of cyclisation into diketopiperazine. So far as I am aware Pepsi no longer contains aspartame, but an old bottle like that would have.

I've been drinking diet beverages for years and you have to be really careful once they hit expiration dates, even if they are stored in ideal conditions.

To be honest, I haven't clicked on an Ashens video in years. I've been subbed, just been watching other stuff. But this? This I had to see.

When clearing out old documents and shoeboxes in my wardrobe, I found a creme egg box with 4 still inside that likely fell out of my backpack and just went forgotten about for three years. They were 2 years past their sell by date, but it was clear no insects had gotten into the box and the foil was intact, so I tried one. They weren't great, but I waited 2 days after the first one before eating a second, and finished the rest. The creme had kind of dried into something similar to cheap icing, and the chocolate was rather waxy. I think it was a batch from around the time people started to complain about them getting worse, so maybe they were always inferior. I would not have touched any of the old food Ashens has, though.

I feel like Ashens was just describing the usual taste of Diet Pepsi.

One of the things I discovered a while back is that sodas flavored with aspartame don't react well to long periods being warmed by sunlight. Some years ago, I picked up a 2L bottle of Diet Sundrop citrus soda that had been sitting in this gas station's front shelf for nearly 18 months. It smelled fine, it had plenty of carbonation, but when I took my first sip, that stuff went right back out. Bitter as losing on an own goal, it was. The aspartame had broken up into its components, which are not at all sweet by themselves -- just from sitting in the warm front area of the store for so long. After having that one-and-only awful taste, I bothered to look at the best-by date on the bottle and vowed never to get a soda from that station ever again.

Should have sent it to Big Clive and had him put it through the Soda Stream.

I'm just imagining ashens looking out of the window, spotting the Pepsi bottle and excitement immediately flashing on his face. Like me when I find a corpse outside and can take it home for cleaning. The strangest things can bring us joy

BTW: "The Pepsi Cola Addict" is a famous "outsider" novel (polite way to say a novel by somebody who is mentally ill) by one of the Gibbons twins.

Ashens VS. Out of Date Stuff never gets old.

I speak from experience, sadly, when I tell you that if that bottle had any significant amount of direct sunlight exposure for 1-2+ years, it would have been SIGNIFICANTLY bleached. So, for sure that bottle didn't get a _lot_ of sun. Maybe just a short period each day at certain angles.

more sun would have been good I think, it acts as a desinfectant

This has reminded me that I have a bottle of Coca Cola still sitting on my shelf for several years. It was something my sister bought me years ago for Christmas, it’s Coke in a “vintage” Coca Cola bottle and I’ve never opened it. Always kept it on my own “Shelf of Interesting Items” and it’s not been touched since. The shelf itself is out of direct sunlight but would have still experienced the changes of temperature in the room over the last few years

My mom still has a can of mango juice her friend from the Philippines gave her in 2007 sitting on her kitchen counter. I shudder to think of what lives inside that thing.

Sugar should last longer than artificial sweetener, it might be fine still. Might.

Like the red aluminum one in the shape of the signature glass bottle? I used to have one that expired Aug 2015, wonder where it went…

If you're ever in the states, my grandma found some 18 year old ginger ale under her bandsaw a couple weeks ago.

Just for the taste of it... oh wait that's Diet Coke. Great video Stuart, you never fail to make me smile.
