That's the only Pepsi (or cola of any sort) I can drink happily (but these days I have dropped a lot of unhealthy diet options like UPF, excess sugar, fats, salt, etc, so I don't drink any fizzy drinks) The 'MAX' refers to caffeine, I think.
Apropos of nothing both the Olbas Oil factory at Gloucester and the Fisherman’s Friend factory at Fleetwood are next to railway/tram lines respectively and, if you breathe in at the right moment when passing, you can smell the respective products!

Some Stagecoach companies do smart cards which they top up with 7 days travel to use as a Megarider, then touch the card reader on the top of their ticket machines.
