When Pepsi realizes they could’ve called their new drink Peepsi instead: ? /VxFUmP3F1J I’m just mad they aren’t calling it Peepsi /2UTW8Cg1IT So far, there are much fewer people tweeting #HangingWithMyPEEPS" than there are people bewildered they didn't just call the soda "Peepsi." "So, to celebrate the start of springtime, Pepsi collaborated with PEEPS to develop a limited batch of its first-ever marshmallow cola."
"After what has been a very difficult year, many consumers are looking for new things to smile about," said Todd Kaplan, Pepsi's VP of Marketing. Though they regrettably won't be sold in stores, social media users can win a 3-pack of 7.5 ox cans by posting photos with the hashtag "#HangingWithMyPEEPS." According to People, the sodas taste "vaguely like Lucky Charms." Now, Peeps has collaborated with Pepsi to make a marshmallow cola that is incredibly not named Peepsi. They are the definition of "cloyingly sweet." In America, they're usually bought at the onset of springtime and are mainstays in Easter baskets. "Peeps," for those unaware, are marshmallows molded into a usually seasonally-relevant shape and then doused in dyed sugar. Easter is just around the corner, which means it's nearly time for Peeps to make their globular return to American consciousness, and boy have they done it with aplomb this year.
