Pepsi NEXT launches two new flavors, Cherry Vanilla and Paradise Mango, with help from actor William Levy

Tuesday, July 17, 2012

This story ran in PEPline, PepsiCo’s global employee newsletter, and is proudly brought to you by a PepsiCo employee or a friend or family member of a PepsiCo employee.

Pepsi this week announced the launch of two limited-time-only flavors from Pepsi NEXT, the first cola to deliver real cola taste with 60 percent less sugar than regular Pepsi-Cola. Available only this summer, Pepsi NEXT Cherry Vanilla and Pepsi NEXT Paradise Mango satisfy the thirst of cola lovers looking to dial up flavor this season.

Actor and lifelong Pepsi drinker William Levy served sips of the new flavors to fans in Los Angeles today, July 17, and encouraged them to “have a fling with flavor” this summer.

“Earlier this spring, Pepsi NEXT launched to national fanfare, turning cola lovers into believers by delivering on real cola taste with 60 percent less sugar than Pepsi-Cola and for many, it was love at first sip,” said Angelique Krembs, vice president, Pepsi Marketing. “We’re continuing the momentum by infusing real cola taste with unique fruit flavor blends, and giving cola lovers two more reasons to ‘drink it to believe it.’”   

Pepsi NEXT Cherry Vanilla and Pepsi NEXT Paradise Mango flavors will be available at Walmart Supercenter stores nationwide and wherever Pepsi products are sold beginning July 15 through Sept. 8. Visit the Pepsi NEXT Facebook page or follow Pepsi NEXT on Twitter via @pepsinext.
