There's a new springtime collaboration in the form of PEPSI x PEEPS and it combines the classic taste of cola with the sweet flavors of PEEPS marshmallows. The sodas are packaged in 7.5-ounce PEPSI mini-cans with bright yellow, pink and blue colors that remind of the classic marshmallow bunnies and chicks commonly consumed during the Easter season.
To introduce the co-branded creation to the world, the collaborators are inviting fans to show how they're enjoying the spring in a safe, socially distant way with the #HangingWithMyPEEPS sweepstakes. Participating gives fans the chance to win a pack of limited-edition sodas of their own. The limited batch of marshmallow cola is also being brought to life with PEEPS dioramas that recreate iconic moments from Pepsi TV ads.
