Summer is officially here, kicking off a fresh round of backyard barbeques, picnics in the park and spontaneous road trips — moments that have at least one thing in common: they call for great food and drinks.
It isn’t just a season for PepsiCo, it’s a celebration of flavor and innovation. It’s a time to find the perfect pairing for the moment, from tangy Doritos in the U.S. to piña colada PopWorks in the U.K.
Whether it’s during a quick stop in at a convenience store on the way out of town or stocking up for a memorable family grilling session, these are some of our newest flavors from around the world that will help define the summer season.
Bringing summer spice
We’re bringing some new spicy, bold and tangy flavors to our much-loved tortilla chips including our latest Doritos Tangy Golden Sriracha, available in the U.S. and Canada, and Doritos Magic Masala, exclusively on store shelves in Canada. Quaker is also tapping into people’s love for spicy heat with Quaker Crispy Minis Magic Masala Brown Rice Cakes in Canada — a crunchy popped bite, made with whole grain brown rice.
Keeping it simple this summer
The Simply line in the U.S. offers bold, delicious flavors you know and love from Doritos, Cheetos, Ruffles, Lay’s, Tostitos and Smartfood with no artificial colors or flavors added. There’s a taste for every summer occasion with the newly launched flavors including Tostitos Sea Salt cooked with avocado oil, Ruffles Hot and Spicy featuring red pepper and spices, Doritos White Cheddar Nacho made with whole grains and Doritos Zesty Cool Ranch made with whole grains, buttermilk and herbs.
Cool off with this iconic flavor
Tapping into nostalgia and the red, white and blue ice pops from childhood, Mountain Dew is bringing a flavor flashback to the U.S. this summer. Mountain Dew Summer Freeze and Mountain Dew Summer Freeze Zero Sugar are returning, blending the limited-time flavors with the citrus kick of Mountain Dew.
Doritos new tangy and spicy twists
Doritos, always known to be bold, is bringing extra summer taste to the U.S. with Tangy Ketchup, Tangy Pickle, Hot Mustard and Twisted Queso flavors.
No grill required: smokey flavors from Jack Link’s x Doritos and Cheetos
Smokey flavors aren’t just for the grill. Jack Link’s Doritos BBQ Jerky and Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Cheddar BBQ are keys to the ultimate U.S. summer barbeque spread. In Canada, summer cottage hangs are now complete with Lay’s Country Smokehouse BBQ potato chips.
Lipton’s summer in a can
Summer and lemonade iced tea — name a better pair. Lipton rolled out its first-ever lemonade iced tea infused with natural fruit flavors — Pineapple Mango and Strawberry Lemonade, providing an uplifting refreshing experience with 50% less sugar than regular sodas.
Perfect for a dip all summer long
In the U.S., Tostitos is bringing back a holiday favorite, with a summer twist, for a limited time. Tostitos SCOOPS are the perfect chip pairing for a poolside dip (from Sabra!) on a hot summer day.
Everything you love about summer, in one bite
In a tropical twist on snacking, PopWorks have teamed up with Malibu in the U.K. to launch a limited-edition popped corn snack that is not only delicious, but also never fried and has less than 81 kcal. Inspired by the iconic pineapple and coconut flavors of a piña colada, it's tropical, crisp and alcohol free — a true taste of summer.
Refreshing flavor mix and mashup
Gatorade has mashed up four of the brand’s most loved flavors into two refreshing new products — Cool Blue + Fruit Punch and Lemon-Lime + Orange, available in the U.S. The two delicious flavors were inspired by athletes who mix their favorite flavors together, leading to a viral trend last summer.
