Let’s be real. Nothing hits like a fizzy cola next to your burger and fries. And Pepsi knows it. That’s why they’ve gone all-in on their “Food Deserves Pepsi” idea. But now, they’ve taken it even further with a fresh new jab at their long-time rival, Coca-Cola.
We all remember Coke’s classic “Share a Coke” campaign. You know, the one with names like Jake, Emily, and “Bestie” printed on cans. It was personal. It was cute. It was everywhere.
But Pepsi? They’ve flipped the script.
No Names, Just Food
In Pepsi’s newest move, they’ve dropped names completely. Instead, the spotlight is on food. And honestly? It’s kind of genius.
Introducing the “Share a Pepsi” campaign. It’s not about sharing your drink with your buddy or crush. It’s about pairing that cold Pepsi with something tasty.
Think burgers. Think tacos. Think wings. Subs. Hot dogs.
That’s what’s printed on these limited-edition Pepsi Zero Sugar bottles. Not “Josh” or “Ashley.” Just the good stuff. The food you actually want with your drink.
And the slogan? It’s cheeky in the best way:
Coke, you hearing this?
Where to Get the Bottles
Now here’s the catch. These bottles aren’t sitting in every grocery store fridge. You’ll have to do a little work for them. But it might be worth it if you’re a Pepsi fan—or a food lover with a sense of humor.
First, there’s the exclusive giveaway on Pepsi’s social media. So if you’re the lucky type, go enter. Scroll their Instagram, leave a comment, maybe even win a bottle.
Next, check out Pepsi Drops on their website. Between June 12 and June 30, they’re dropping a limited number of these special bottles online. It’s first come, first served.
And if you’re in LA? You’ve got a shot at scoring one in person. Pepsi will be at EEEEATSCON LA on June 28 and 29, handing them out while supplies last.
Free Pepsi for the Summer
Can’t get your hands on a bottle? Don’t stress. You can still sip Pepsi this summer thanks to Panera’s Unlimited Sips Club.
Yup, Panera and Pepsi teamed up. That means free refills of Pepsi while you’re chilling with your sandwich or salad. It might not have “wings” written on the label, but it’ll still hit the spot next to whatever’s on your plate.
The Cola Rivalry Gets Even Spicier
This campaign is more than just some clever labels. It’s Pepsi throwing down a playful challenge. It’s reminding everyone that the cola wars are still alive—and still delicious.
While Coke went back to printing names, Pepsi chose food. While Coke leans classic, Pepsi goes bold. And honestly, it’s working. It’s fun. It’s different. It’s totally Pepsi.
So next time you grab a drink, ask yourself—are you sipping with someone… or with something delicious?
Because according to Pepsi, food deserves it more.
