'''Pepsi Free''' was introduced in [[1982]] by [[PepsiCo]] 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 in [[1987]], and today these colas are known simply as Caffeine-Free Pepsi and [[Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi]]. The term "Free" has been reintroduced by [[Pepsico]] on their [[Sierra Mist]] line in response to [[Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola's]] successful introduction of their Zero line (although the "Free" refers to a lack of sugar rather than caffeine).
==In popular culture==
Pepsi Free was the subject of a scene in the [[1985]] film ''[[Back to the Future]]''. Upon entering a café in [[1955]], [[Marty McFly]] ([[Michael J Fox]]) asks for a [[Tab (soft drink)|Tab]] (a type of sugar-free soft drink) and is told that he cannot have a "[[Bill (payment)|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, "If you want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it!"
A can of Pepsi Free can also be seen toward the end of the movie when [[Marty McFly]] ([[Michael J. Fox]]) wakes up the morning after Doc ([[Christopher Lloyd]]) drops him off at his house in [[1985]].
