As the summer months begin to roll in, the nights get longer and the days get warmer.
Invariably, in such circumstances, we all start searching around for something refreshing and thirst-quenching to drink. Maybe you like a cold beer after a long day of work, a relaxing glass of red wine with your dinner or a reviving can of pop to see you through a busy afternoon. Perhaps you're looking for the ultimate soda to accompany your summer cookouts.
Whatever the occasion, the news that Pineapple Pepsi is now available in the United States is sure to tickle your taste buds.
The eagle-eyed folk over at the popular snacking Instagram account Candy Hunting revealed the news and provided a picture of the box, as well as a write up of their own, stating;
"Here is the new Pepsi with a Splash of Pineapple Juice soda! According to the PepsiCo release schedule, this is a Walmart exclusive and is replacing the lime flavor. It tastes like Pepsi with added pineapple juice. Huge shock, I know."
The drink is now available at Walmart, and a representative for PepsiCo. confirmed to PEOPLE that the new pineapple flavor would be replacing their lime flavor drink.
Check out our very own recipe for a whole pineapple upside down cake:Pepsi is no stranger to adding exciting new flavors to its lineup of sodas, either. Just last year the company introduced lime, mango and berry flavors to their classic soda - each drink described as the Pepsi we're all familiar with with an added dash of fruit juice.
Instagram user hodgekaze wrote of the new beverage;
"The latest edition to the Pepsi family, Pepsi Pineapple, is starting to appear on shelves. I found it at Walmart today. How does it hold up against Mango, Lime and Berry? (couldn’t find my last Berry can for the photo, I think I drank it)
Its tied for first with Lime in my opinion. Followed by Berry, then Mango. I don’t really care for colas but if you put a splash of fruit juice in there I’m all for it. So thanks Pepsi for getting fruity! Loving these flavors!"
