Pepsi will launch a cinnamon-flavoured limited edition, dubbed Pepsi Fire, later this month.

The new soda will be available from May 22 nationwide for an eight-week period.

It will be available in 20 oz. bottles and 12-oz. can 12-packs at all major retail stores.

A limited edition Pepsi Fire Slurpee drink will be exclusively available at participating 7-Eleven stores across the country till June end.

Pepsi Marketing director Lauren Cohen said: "Summer is one of the most anticipated times of the year, and Pepsi Fire is going to ignite this season with an unexpected and spicy twist to our classic cola taste.

"We know Pepsi fans love spending time on Snapchat, and we are excited to offer them a chance to Snap their way to one of one-thousand gaming consoles, a trip to Lollapalooza or a CONAN show meet-and-greet."

Select Pepsi brand packaging will feature Snapcode that can unlock a range of exclusive Snapchat features, such as unique Lenses, Geofilters and a new Pepsi mobile game.

The company has also announced that this exclusive Pepsi content and features can be unlocked by Snapchatters by pointing the Snapchat camera on the on-pack Snapcode and scanning it.

Consumers can unlock the mobile game and enter sweepstakes where everyday 10 lucky people can win big ticket items such as hard to find new gaming consoles, festival fly-away experiences and chances to attend taping of TBS's CONAN plus meet-and-greet.

Does it come in a Crystal version?

 

[Marmaladefire]

Gross. I can't wait to try to mix bourbon or rum into this and regret it.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Why does it have to be Pepsi

Pepsi sucks, but cinnamon is great.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Haven't you already done enough damage this year, Pepsi?

 

[hydrophilic attack]

yuck

 

[kiri]

Yo, we Japan now.

 

[peteykirch]

They need to bring back Pepsi Max Cease Fire

 

[sixteen-bit]

They need to bring back Pepsi Max Cease Fire

for all ur protesting needs

 

[Volimar]

Will be kept alive for mixed drinks.


Eh, I'll probably try it. Don't really care for Pepsi though.

 

[RRockman]

This is like mixing Chocolate Syrup and lemonade. These are two good things that don't belong together.

Spoiler

Can I get a Pepsiman Alt. Costume of this?

 

[Busty]

Even as someone who could literally count the number of cans of juice/soda he drinks in a year on one hand I am interested in this product.

 

[Rosvoja Torilla]

Drinking this is the true cinnamon challenge.

 

[Envelope]

i tried one, would not recommmend

 

[Skyzard]

Are they suggesting self-immolation at the next protest?

Or have they finally put a dash of coke in pepsi

 

[jelly]

Taste the Zune.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Gross. I can't wait to try to mix bourbon or rum into this and regret it.

I don't know why, but this is an awesome reply.

 

[Strike]

No. I don't know why anyone would want to drink cinnamon. Fireball sucks.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

Wasn't Cinnamon Pepsi a thing in Canada last year?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

hmmmmmmmmm I would try this

 

[Greatest Ever]

White people smh

 

[TheOfficeMut]

White people smh

What?

 

[Ray Wonder]

I won't knock it til I try it. I doubt pepsi is going to release a flavor, nowadays, without having 1000s of pe----

---nvm this is the pepsi that just released that commercial.

[Quonny]

Could...be good?

 

[studyguy]

Sounds like heartburn.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I can't quite imagine it. I've had cola with bite, and good ginger beer that had a nice spiciness to it but I can't imagine how cinnamon flavored pepsi would work.

 

[Brianimaniac]

There was a Jolly Rancher cinnamon soda. Not bad. I don't understand why people think it would be disgusting. Cinnamon candy is a popular thing, and soda is just liquid candy. Even with a cola blend, there are ginger colas, holiday spice colas, etc. People are reacting to this like it's ranch dressing flavor or something.

 

[Maddog]

We had Ginger Pepsi. Never saw Cinnamon.

 

[Haloid1177]

They had a Christmas Pepsi back in the day that had cinnamon in it and that shit was amazing. Sign me the fuck up.

 

[Kaladin]

Somebody thought this is Pepsi form was a good idea.

 

[Beartruck]

Pepsi fire is what gets passed out when negotiations with police break down.

 

[Broken Hope]

We got Pepsi Max Ginger in the UK, Cinnamon would be nice too.

 

[Greatest Ever]

What?

Only white people would dub anything with cinnamon flavoring "Fire."

 

[Hale-XF11]

Nothing like a can of fire on a hot summer day.

 

[wvnative]

I just want my 2003 Vanilla pepsi back. :/

 

[toweringinferno]

Somebody thought this is Pepsi form was a good idea.

JD fire is amazing

 

[mullet2000]

I can't tell if this would taste terrible or good.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Pepsi: Fyre

And cola already has a cinnamon-y taste. This probably just tastes a bit stronger than a regular one.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

That sounds fucking awful.

 

[DMONKUMA]

This Ja Rule's drink?

 

[Breads]

Hot cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors. Gonna try this out.

 

[hydruxo]

Basically exists for mixed drinks and that's it. I can't imagine people will willingly drink this straight lol.

 

[aspiegamer]

This is currently wasting a slot at my local Slurpee machine, replacing black cherry Pepsi which was surprisingly not awful despite still being labeled as Pepsi. Refuse to touch it, and its existence horrifies me. It's getting warmer and I rely on the variety there! Not amused.

 

[Whompa02]

Flame the conversation

White people smh

lol wut?

 

[Zen Aku]

That's lit yo 🔥

 

[Laekon]

Interested to see how it comes out. I use to drink this cinnamon soda when I was a kid in Texas in the late 80's.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Cannot be any worse than the Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper that came out years ago. That tasted so bad.

 

[distantmantra]

Yo, we Japan now.

Fo sho.

I had Pepsi Red in Tokyo over ten years ago. That stuff was terrible.
