Food trends are not new to people on social media. Be it netizens or different food companies; they try to come up with new recipe ideas. But not all of it goes well. Over the past years, we have seen many weird food trends, including the pineapple pizza launched by Domino’s in 2019. The pastel-coloured peeps are a common staple during springtime and Easter, but who could have thought that the sugary chicks can be incorporated with a soda drink? Well, Pepsi did!
How To Get Pepsi x Peeps Cans?
Pepsi reported that the new drink would combine, ‘the crisp, refreshing taste of Pepsi cola with the pillowy-soft and sweet Peeps Marshmallow flavour consumers love.” The flavour profile may seem weird; the companies have stuck with the spring and Easter theme when it comes to the design of the soda. The beverage will be available in yellow, pink and blue Pepsi mini-cans and will come in packs of three. Fans across social media have expressed their displeasure over the new drink, reacting with funny memes while roasting Pepsi for its, well ‘one-of-a-kind,’ beverage.
