Most carbonated drinks that go past their expiration date might have lost some of their fizz.  The carbonation doesn't hold up.

Basically - the Pepsi is very likely to taste flat and lack carbonation.

It will not hurt you to drink it - but it might not taste as good as it should.  

Answer 2

Yes, the expiration date is a freshness number not a safety issue. 

Answer 3

Only one way to find out, eh? 

Answer 4

It it really had “expired” then it would be impossible to drink (think of an expired credit card or membership to a club).

If you mean their use by or best before date was 2 months ago they should be okay. They WILL be okay if they are still in air-tight containers.

Answer 5

Newsflash~~ it is sugar, chemicals and water~~ unopened soda doesn't expire. 

Answer 6

That is not an expiration date - it is a best by or used by - perfectly fine. 

Answer 7

Its expiry date is probably several years after it was manufactured, it's unlikely to have changed noticeably during the last two months if it's properly sealed.  It should be fine but of course the decision is for you to make.
