In preparation for grilling season, [cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-karaage-senyo-<a%20class=)'>Pepsi Lime and Peach-flavored colas have arrived to provide cool refreshment to accompany smoky, savory summertime dishes. These limited-time flavors are ready to be paired with various backyard barbecue favorites, from hot dogs to ribs to burgers.

To complement these two new Pepsi flavors "tailor-made for summer grill life," the cola brand is teaming up with Bobby Flay on a #BetterWithPepsi campaign. Flay says that Pepsi's flavor profile is "the perfect counterpoint to the smoky, rich barbecue dishes."

Throughout the summer, Flay will be featured in a [Pepsi TV campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bring-out-the-flavour-campaign), as well as in-store displays, digital content shorts, stunts, a social series of grill tips, tricks, tutorials and more leading up to Memorial Day.
