Diet Pepsi, from what I have read, started in the early to mid-sixties. They tested the waters for a diet drink with Diet Patio Cola and when they saw how well it was doing they decided to rename it Diet Pepsi. As for Coca Cola, I think they didn't start Diet Coca Cola till sometime in the 70's, though I'm not sure on it. I wouldn't have near the amout of diets if I hadn't bought out part of a guy's collection. The guy used to work for Pepsi during the latter part of the 1970's and into the 1980's and collected every new bottle they put out.
