Companies Are Pulling This Word Off Their Labels Because Younger People Don’t Like It

Soda companies are scrambling to keep young customers drinking their beverages. However, social media has been extremely critical against diet culture in recent years as the body positivity movement has gained steam, and people are trying to appreciate the bodies they were given by God rather than the ones celebrities have paid for with plastic surgeries and various other procedures – but soda companies are fighting against the popular belief that sodas are generally unhealthy to consume and that “diet” drinks support a negative body image amid the rage against diet culture at large.

Popular brands like Canada Dry, 7Up, and A&W have already made the switch from “diet” drinks to “zero sugar” beverages.

The new labels are appearing on beverage containers across the country as these brands try to sell more of their sodas to young people who are averse to diet culture in general.Younger people just don’t like the word ‘diet,’” said Greg Lyons, chief marketing officer at PepsiCo Beverages North America, according to CNN.

Pepsi has been selling a zero-sugar beverage for years now. When Donald Trump was elected to be the first reality TV star president back in 2016, Pepsi rebranded their Pepsi Max offering as Pepsi Zero Sugar.No Gen Z wants to be on a diet these days,” Lyons confessed, according to CNN. “It’s about the freedom to choose what they want without feeling guilty.”

Canada Dry is also attempting to rebrand their diet ginger ale as “ginger zero,” according to CNN. A&W has already made the switch from calling its calorie-free root beer a “diet drink” to a “zero sugar drink.” Customers have been asking the company for years why it was still calling its product a diet beverage, according to A&W Brand President Susan Senecal.Zero Sugar Diet Ginger Ale is a clear example of how we are giving people choices and helping them find what works for them,” Senecal told CNN.
