Make sure to stock up for the rooftop parties this summer.

 

[Quadraphonic]

I can't wait to drive a Pepsi Bottle in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's first DLC.

 

[xxracerxx]

Throwing my Switch in the trash.

 

[Col.Asher]

Is it the pepsi flavour spicy?

 

[Hattori]

Pepsi Shirts in Splatoon confirmed

 

[Galava]

Can't wait for the Global Pepsi(Test)Fire

 

[Bronetta]

Is this the cinnamon flavor Pepsi?


I imagine it tastes like cough syrup.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Is it the pepsi flavour spicy?

I wanna know too.

 

[DrkSage]

No Nintendo! You were supposed to go with Coca Cola!!! Match that red and white

 

[yo_soy_el_topo]

Stuff is nasty. Beware.

 

[BigEmil]

They going all in on the craze of marketing

 

[dubc35]

But what chips?

Mt Dew Code Redoritos:epsi Fire:?

 

[Persona7]

i cant condone such buffoonery

 

[VeryGooster]

Nintendo had a good run

 

[PKMNTrainer]

Should've partnered with Frito's corn chips.

 

[Rover99]

Pepsi Fire would make me Switch to Coke

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Gross. Switch that up with Pepsi Cherry.

 

[jon bones]

that drink sounds gross

 

[Kyne]

what does this even taste like?

 

[Oregano]

Should be Pepsi Max Cherry. Love that stuff.

 

[skypunch]

Doomed in flames.

 

[SgtCobra]

Xbox gets Mtn Dew, Nintendo gets Pepsi (Fire, whatever that's supposed to be).
Waiting for Sony's response...

 

[Waylon Drums]

Stuff is nasty. Beware.

It doesn't even sound like it would be good.

Gross. Switch that up with Pepsi Cherry.

The correct move here.

 

[jbug617]

Is it the pepsi flavour spicy?

I wanna know too.

Cinnamon flavored

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Pepsi Fire tastes like suffering.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Pepsi Fire sounds positively awful.

 

[a Master Ninja]

This is a bigger fuck-up than Nintendo's voice chat solution.

 

[Tesser]

Well...you can take a Pepsi with you and use it portably.

Makes sense.

 

[Canucked]

BIG loss at Mountain Dew. Someone is getting fired.

(Does Pepsi own Mountain Dew?)

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Is coke okay?

 

[acheron_xl]

It has a kind of red cinnamon finish that blends into the fizzy acidity. It's kinda like instant heartburn.

I did manage to soldier through a whole 12 pack though.

 

[Rncewind]

This is worse than Nintendo's voice chat solution.

.

 

[Brofield]

To be fair, Blue/Red logo on a neon switch

Did Splatoon 1 had splatfests that pitted Coca Cola against Pepsi? I know they had Autobots vs Decepticons and Pokemon Red vs Blue

 

[HStallion]

I think making PBR the official drink would have been a better choice.

 

[InsaneFandom]

I bet the cartridges taste nicer :/

 

[JMY86]

Why would anyone ever drink any kind of Pepsi for any reason? Yeesh nice product tie in. Come on Nintendo you can do better than that..

 

[psychowave]

"Fire" is the absolute last thing that should come to mind when thinking about soda.

 

[Calm Mind]

BIG loss at Mountain Dew. Someone is getting fired.

(Does Pepsi own Mountain Dew?)

Yes

 

[blu]

Reminds me when back in the day Dewy's Adventure NA localisation had to come with small in-game skits (in-engine) of some natural water brand, otherwise Konami would not publish it on their own expenses. I did enjoy it with those as well (I already had the JP version anyway).

 

[DocSeuss]

Cinnamon = bad burn

Pepsi with ginger in = good burn

 

[Zubz]

Is it the pepsi flavour spicy?

I wanna know too.

It's... Have you ever drank Fireball? Imagine a non-alcoholic version of that, and then pour Pepsi into it. It's not spicy in the pepper sense, but is in a dried cinnamon way.

 

[Nydius]

Pepsi Fire: For people too cheap to spend an extra dime on an Atomic Fireball when buying their regular Pepsi.

 

[Fat4all]

that shit is nasty

 

[Captain Fun]

Does stuff like this actually work? Would anyone actually buy a Switch/Doritos/Dew over these weird partnerships?

I guess the answer is probably yes, and that I know jack shit, but yeah.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Pepsi Fire ain't bad. Basically tastes like Fireball minus the alcohols

 

[True Fire]

 

[ForkNetwork]

Grabbing a cold Pepsi with the boys

 

[andytjm]

The way he is holding that drink looks uncomfortable.

 

[geordiemp]

Wat about Doritos ?

 

[labaronx]

It does
