And it's healthy all-natural...

No word on US release...but wtf? Healthy Pepsi? I thought we all had that idea in mind that it sucked to begin with, in terms of health.

My bet is it tastes like weak sugar water.

It's just an advertising thing; I really doubt it's actually healthy for you. :p

Strangely I'm not suprised. EVERYTHING is being made more healthy because "it needs to" apparently.
Meh.

Some people could consider Pepsi light also "healthy", as it contains no sugar or calories - time to re-think about those definitions. "Diet chocolate" means people think it is actually no problem to just eat more ... but it only has sugar replaced by something artificial, to make it "better" consumable for people with diabetes.
As for calories ... it is the same, eh. Other than that, luxury food is not meant to be eaten in large portions, though.

Well, a lot of sugar-free candies use sugar alcohol instead of actual sugar. Problem is, the... *cough* natural sugar substitute used there cause some rather obnoxious gastrointestinal effects, rather than the artificial substitutes such as sucralose which have detrimental effects if you consume the equivalent of roughly 20,000 packets a day for months on end.

Sorry, tangent. I really hate this "all-natural" thing people have been going for recently. If anything, I'd expect the artificial components to be safer due to the stringent testing that goes on before they're allowed on the market.

(Besides, soft drinks are bad for you because of the incredibly high sugar content more than anything else. 30g in an 8 oz. serving is worse than orange juice, particularly without the inclusion of the nutrients that make orange juice a worthwhile thing to drink.)

It looks to me to be positioned against the other alcohol-alternatives like the J20 fruit juices. They're non-alcholoic drinks that are promoted with similar advertising as lagers, alco-pops and mixers, but are alcohol-free for the self-conscious person who drinks responsibly.
