Diet Pepsi Jazz was an American brand of soda introduced by the Pepsi company in 2006 and discontinued in 2009. It was a specifically named variant of Pepsi's popular Diet Pepsi product, combining several different flavors.
In 2006, the Pepsi Corporation launched Pepsi Jazz, a flanker of their Diet Pepsi product, after considering the names "Splurge" and "Indulge." The drink came in three zero-calorie, dessert-themed flavors: Jazz with Black Cherry and French Vanilla, Jazz with Strawberries and Cream, and Caramel Cream. It used the 2003 Pepsi logo.
The company launched the soda with a substantial advertising campaign, using the tagline "Jazz, the new sound of cola." The campaign included a jazz- and blues-themed television spot by DDB, with actress Leah Elias and a soundtrack by Groove Collective's Genji Siraisi, as well as a four-page advertising spread in People Magazine with a three-dimensional pop-up image of the bottle, an audio clip of the soundtrack played via embedded chip, and a scratch and sniff area diffusing the drink's scent. [1] The company had also envisioned an interactive website as part of the campaign that would allow viewers to remix Siraisi's soundtrack, but it was never developed. Ethnomusicologist Mark Laver argues that the campaign was intended to target a young and specifically African American clientele. [2]
The campaign was noted for its similarities with rival Coca-Cola's own contemporaneous jazz branding. Around the same time, Coca-Cola had donated $10 million to Jazz at Lincoln Center (J@LC) for construction of a new building and education programs in a new performance space, then called Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. [3] Pepsi brand manager Lauren Scott claimed that the two campaigns were unrelated. [4]
PepsiCo discontinued Pepsi Jazz in 2007 after poor sales and the greater success of another flanker, Pepsi Max. [2]
Pepsi Jazz is mentioned in the motion picture The Promotion as John C. Reilly is setting up a soda display.
Black Cherry and French Vanilla
Cola is a carbonated soft drink flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, citrus oils, and other flavorings. Cola became popular worldwide after the American pharmacist John Stith Pemberton invented Coca-Cola, a trademarked brand, in 1886, which was imitated by other manufacturers. Most colas originally contained caffeine from the kola nut, leading to the drink's name, though other sources of caffeine are generally used in modern formulations. The Pemberton cola drink also contained a coca plant extract. His non-alcoholic recipe was inspired by the coca wine of pharmacist Angelo Mariani, created in 1863.
Diet Coke is a sugar-free and low-calorie soft drink produced and distributed by the Coca-Cola Company. It contains artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Unveiled on July 8, 1982, and introduced in the United States one month later, it was the first new brand since Coca-Cola's creation in 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark. The product quickly overtook the company's existing diet cola, Tab, in sales.
Coca-Cola Vanilla is a vanilla-flavored version of Coca-Cola, introduced in 2002 but subsequently discontinued in North America and the United Kingdom in 2005, only remaining available as a fountain drink. It was relaunched in the US in 2007; in Denmark in 2012, the UK in 2013, and Canada in 2016. Vanilla Coke has been available in Australia since its initial introduction in 2002, being produced by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. Originally announced as a limited edition in the UK, it became permanent for several years; however, it was again discontinued in the UK in Summer 2018. Despite this, the product has still been distributed in related brands Diet Vanilla Coke and Coke Vanilla Zero.

Coca-Cola C2 was a cola-flavored beverage produced in response to the low-carbohydrate diet trend.

The drink's slogan was "Things are going to be OK."
