Is this a theological issue?

I bought some Vanilla Pepsi Max (diet pepsi) as an experiment, intending no theological consequences of any kind.

But, upon sampling it I discovered a theological issue with it. I am sure it is Satan's spawn and the Devil's drink!
An evil brew from the tartarus!
Take my warning, shun this evil brew.
Excommunicate it from your midst!
Dispose of it down the drain and never let a drop pass between your lips.
For fear of some terrible fate befalling you.

General theology,

Matthew 15:11 (NIV):
What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.
Verily I say unto thee, if thou drinkest Vanilla Pepsi Max thou shalt expel it unto they defilement!

Lettest the mixer for rum and other distilled spirits be Coca-cola. Never shall Pepsi, especially vile flavorings, be used for this purpose. For what barbarian orders Pepsi and rum? Let them be cast aside!

The evil is in the carbonation. Just like cow farts being liberally emitted out in the pastures, the carbonated drinks contribute to the increase in CO2 emissions mostly because it is CO2 that is used to create the carbonation in a liquid. Once escaped gases reach the atmosphere, they are free to wonder the dark stormy clouds that are driven by every whim and doctrine and thereby influencing all those unsuspecting souls seeking refreshments.

Be the brew evil for its dark fouleness or for its sweet yet unholy lyre call of temptation and corruption, making itself an obscene idol before God?
It be evil from its very being. Dark brown is the liquid, sweet but unpleasant to the taste. It is foul and noisome, yet it bears a name of favourable sound. It deceives so as to waylay the innocent.

It is not what goes into the body that defiles a person...

I had that one before and I replied:
"Verily I say unto thee, if thou drinkest Vanilla Pepsi Max thou shalt expel it unto thy defilement!"

Ah yes, the pull of the flesh. Ever downward into the pit of the vat where the concoction is mixed and stirred. The nether regions.
This of course greatly tempts me to partake of the aforementioned vial brew.

When the man saw the fruit of the tree, which was a can embroidered with "Vanilla Pepsi Max", he talked his wife into getting some.

And they drank. Immediately they saw they were naked and ran for cover, and grabbed some leaves for clothes.

But Eve wasn't satisfied with her leaves, and the serpent was shrewd and said "They don't suit you. Why don't you ask him for a more floral arrangement, maybe peacock feathers so you can strut your stuff?"

And in the late afternoon God was walking in the garden, and he said "Where are you?" Adam tossed his his can of "Vanilla Pepsi Max" into the nearest hole, straightened up and said "I'm over here!" And God said "Yoiu can't fool me! I know you've been drinking "Vanilla Pepsi Max"! You've got a picture all over your fig leaf! And where is your wife?"

Adam pointed and said "Over there!"

"Over there?" said God, "All I can see is what looks like a peacock!".

Eve got into trouble over this, as the peacock put in a complaints form in triplicate about the loss of his tail feathers.

And there has been division between them ever since.
