Pepsi Lime, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi Vanilla...are they being discontinued like their Coke counterparts? I sure hope not!

All three are still alive and well in my parts.

here we got no regular pepsi twist, but we got diet though, and we still have both vanillas and both limes, even though they are almost always past their date

we have all three here (reg & diet) i think right now its up to the distributor if they want to carry them or not. pepsi may change that in the future though.

In my parts, we dropped twist a long time ago, lime is filtering its way out and vanilla is alive and well.

I don’t think the big soda companies actually expect these extensions to succeed. I believe it’s about keeping the consumer interested in their brand and if one of these extensions takes off then great.

Lets look at coca-cola black. This product is obviously not going to have mass appeal and coke does not keep any product that is not selling well.
They did however get lots of news coverage, both local and national. And people are talking about it.

With all the extensions people are asking each other if they have seen it? Or have tried it? Thus keeping folks talking about their brand.

After all how do you create a buzz about a 100-year-old product?

That's a very insightful point. [img]smile.gif[/img]

A few weeks ago I pressed Vanilla Coke on the vending machone and regular pepsi came out.

We are discontinuing Regular Lime and Regular Vanilla but keeping Diet versions, We haven't had twist for a long long time...

Here in Boulder, Pepsi Twist:Lemon, Lime, Diet Pepsi Twist:Lemon and Lime are still here is fridge packs and some 2 litres. I still see Pepsi Vanilla as well.
