Pepsi Cat Cans sport limited-edition illustrations that commemorate the number of cat owners surpassing that of dog owners in China for those between ages 20 and 30. The PepsiCo Design & Innovation Center created these exclusive packaging designs depicting cats doing everything from snacking and gaming to listening to music. Notably, this is the first time that the brand has added an animal to its cans in China.
The special-edition Pepsi cans are only coming to e-commerce platforms across China, like the Pepsi Beverage Tmall Flagship Store and Tmall Supermarket, and only for a limited time.
These youthful soda cans can't help but speak to Millennial and Gen Z consumers who are passionate about their pets as important members of the household.
