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.

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!"
