Pepsi Free
1982 Pepsi Free can
1999 Caffeine-Free Pepsi can
Pepsi Free was introduced in 1982 by PepsiCo, Inc. as the first major brand caffeine-free cola. A sugar-free variant known as Diet Pepsi Free was also introduced. The Pepsi Free name itself was phased out by 1988 and today these colas are known simply as Caffeine-Free Pepsi and Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi.
Pepsi Free was the subject of a joke in the 1985 film Back to the Future. Upon entering the cafe in 1955, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) asks for a TaB (a type of soft drink) and is told that he cannot have a tab (when you receive goods under the condition you must pay for them later) unless he orders something. He then asks for a Pepsi Free and is told that if he wants a Pepsi, he must pay for it.
