The sodas come in three varieties including Raspberry Ripple, Cherry & Vanilla and Salted Caramel, which each feature the signature Pepsi flavor as the base to work well for a delivering new taste experiences with a classic spin. The sodas are launching in 330ml cans, 500ml bottles and eight-can multipacks, which are priced starting at £1 to encourage consumers of all ranges to try them out this summer. Chief Marketing Officer Munnawar Chishty spoke on the Pepsi Ice Cream sodas saying, "With its vibrant packaging, and nostalgic-inspired flavour line-up, the Ice Cream Flavours will offer retailers an eye-catching proposition that stands out in-store and will aim to reach consumers across a range of missions-from on-the-go impulse buys, to a treat to cool down in the summer heat.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 8.9/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 72% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nostalgia-driven Flavor Extensions:** Blending retro ice cream profiles with a flagship cola base creates emotionally resonant products that can redefine mainstream flavor expectations. - **Hybrid Beverage-dessert Formats:** The combination of frozen-treat taste profiles and ready-to-drink packaging signals a shift toward category-blurring consumables that compete with both confectionery and soft-drink offerings. - **Accessible Premiumization:** Pricing indulgent, novelty flavors at everyday price points suggests a model where perceived premium experience is democratized for mass-market reach. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Nonalcoholic Beverage Manufacturing:** Innovations that fuse dessert textures and flavor systems with carbonated formulations could lead to new manufacturing processes and ingredient sourcing strategies. - **Retail and Convenience Merchandising:** Vibrant, nostalgia-led packaging and multipack formats indicate merchandising opportunities that prioritize impulse visibility and seasonal assortment planning. - **Consumer Packaged Goods Marketing:** Marketing communications centered on retro taste profiles and accessible indulgence point to brand storytelling approaches that shift value from ingredients to experiential association. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spiced Creamy Soda Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-cream-swirl.md) - [Spicy-Sweet Fruit Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schweppes-cherry-pepper-soda.md) - [Layered Drink Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drips-by-pepsi-lineup.md) - [Candy-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-lips.md) - [Reinvented Cherry-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-wild-cherry-cream.md) - [Soda-Flavored Ice Cream Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-flavored-dippin-dots.md) - [Gen Z-Themed Soda Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-relationsips.md) - [Free-From Parlor-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nixie-sodas.md) - [Extra-Flavorful Spiced Fruit Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-pibb-sodas.md)
