Why does Pepsi Next and Coke Lite have so many calories in it?

It's sweetened with Stevia, an artificial sweetener, so shouldn't it have a similar amount of calories to Pepsi Max or Diet Coke?

It's only partially sweetened with stevia, it still contains sugar. Next to water, Pepsi Next's main ingredient is high fructose corn syrup. So, sugar. Coke green is the same.

It's basically their version of mid-strength beer. Supposed to get some of the crowd who won't drink the nomal stuff because its too high in sugar, but don't like the artificial sweetners. It's a grab for more of the customer base by giving people a lower sugar option.

EDIT: ok, I did look it up and a can of Pepsi Next is 60 cal vs Normal at 150 cal. So I can see the allure, hence the above edit.

It's the best of both worlds. Tastier than diet, not as much sugar as regular.

Why's it dunb to have a version with half the calories? It just means you get less of the stevia taste of a full 'diet' version

It's like 1/2 the calories of a regular soda...how is that dumb? Not everyone wants full on diet.

Because there's still sugar in it, and you still have to count the calories, rather than drinking as much as you'd like. I had one glass today and it was like 90 calories.

Is it made with Stevia? I'm thinking of sticking with that because it's supposed to be healthier. The only coke I like that I have tried is Diet Coke. I'm usually more of a Pepsi girl.
