Pepsi has become famous for releasing a variety of flavors of its signature drink. Some are winners, others not so much. However, the company keeps releasing them! Now, Pepsi plans on releasing a new, Cracker Jack-flavored soda. How will it taste? Let's find out!
Pepsi Releases Another Collaboration
From Apple Pie and Cherry to Chocolate and Peeps-flavored, Pepsi has undoubtedly released a lot of strange flavors over the years. This time around, the company plans on releasing a Cracker Jack-flavored soda. That's right! Perfect for the start of baseball's playoffs, this drink will remind everyone of the classic snack. According to the description, it features a light Pepsi flavor mixed with the caramel, popcorn, and peanut flavors from Cracker Jacks. Without a doubt, it will prepare fans for the big game!
"Pepsi is a brand with a deep legacy in sports and is an endemic part of the ballpark experience," said Todd Kaplan, VP of Marketing for the company. "So we thought it would only be fitting to help fans celebrate the biggest month in baseball with our latest limited-edition drop - Pepsi x Cracker Jack." According to Kaplan, the company worked hard to keep the Pepsi flavor while also blending in that Cracker Jack flavor. Now, he can't wait for fans to taste it!
"We're excited to see fans show their excitement for October baseball by unabashedly singing the timeless baseball anthem, 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame,' for their shot to get their hands on this unique flavor," he finished by saying. Dedicated baseball fans are sure to love the drink! Meanwhile, Cracker Jack also feels excited about the new flavor launch...

As you might suspect, this will mark the first Cracker Jack soda. "Cracker Jack is thrilled to team up with our friends at Pepsi to bring snack and beverage fans this one-of-a-kind innovation," said Tina Mahal, VP of Marketing for Frito-Lay North America. Frito-Lay now owns Cracker Jack and has for some time.
How can you try the new Cracker Jack soda? Sadly, you cannot just head to the store and pick it up.

Of course, we know that many of them will end up on eBay for insane prices. Still, that's not all the winners take home. They'll also earn a limited-edition box that looks like old-school Cracker Jack packaging.
But wait, there's even more! Three special winners will receive a Collector's Kit, a baseball glove, and tickets to the World Series. That's right! So, even if Cracker-Jack-flavored Pepsi doesn't sound incredible to you, it might be worth entering the competition. So get singing!
