On June 30, 1998, the artificial sweetener [[acesulfame potassium]] (Ace-K) was approved for use by the [[Food and Drug Administration]]. PepsiCo responded within one hour, announcing the introduction of Pepsi One (which reached store shelves the following October). The original formulation was sweetened with [[aspartame]] and [[acesulfame potassium]]. This new variety was based upon an earlier product (sold in other countries) called [[Pepsi Max]], but it featured a formula and flavor profile developed specifically for the U.S. market.

Before 2012, Pepsi One was the last Pepsi variant to include the old logo used from 2003 to 2008, while all the other Pepsi variants had been using the current logo used since late 2008; the only other Pepsi product not using the current logo was [[Pepsi-Cola Made with Real Sugar|Pepsi Throwback]], which intentionally used [[retro]] packaging. However, Pepsi One's logo was later modernized with the current logo to be in line with the other flavors.
