“There’s nothing more classic than hot cocoa on a winter’s day, but this year has been anything but typical,” Pepsi chief marketing officer Todd Kaplan said in a press release announcing the drink. ‘Then why not combine the delicious taste of a Pepsi with the delicious, wintery taste of chocolate and marshmallow and offer this season a little unexpected joy for our fans? We are confident that we have nailed Pepsi “Cocoa” Cola and can not wait to get it in the hands of cola fans this winter. ”
The company offered similar content with the limited release of Pepsi Apple Pie last year around Thanksgiving. The drink is now getting an insane premium on online markets like eBay.
“Not baking – especially not this year, is nothing to be ashamed of, and we celebrate the amateur bakers who really try their best during a unique holiday season,” Kaplan said in a separate statement in November last year. . Tart, we offer a refreshingly delicious twist to the traditional sliced apple pie, while making sure people have a little fun and don’t take themselves too seriously. ”
