Want to Buy Please

Why do I have to spend $20+ for one case and have it shipped to me? Just make it nationwide

This just upsets me. They take away all the good flavors. It would be fine if there was just a constant rotation but there seems to be no consistency to what stores have what flavors and when.

That's Pepsi for you.

They pull this regional bullshit up here in Canada, too.

With what products?

Here in Canada, Pepsi also bottle different things Pepsi in the US doesn't.
-Dr. Pepper bottle 6pks. West
-Cherry Pepsi. Everywhere except Quebec (my most major bone of contention)
-Diet Mtn Dew. Gone except as 2Ls in some places
-Crush Birch Beer, Lime and Watermelon. Spotty.

Among other things. For Dew, I've heard reports provinces way out East don't get Dew flavours.

So as far as Pepsi co products Diet Dew was only available in NFLD after zero sugar was introduced. Quebec I have no knowledge on. The east coast gets all of the Mountain Dew flavours, permanent and LTOs. Crush and Dr. Pepper are Keurig Dr. Pepper products but Dr. Pepper is bottled by Pepsi in Canada similarly to it being bottle by Pepsi in certain areas in the US.

See, it's nonsense

As far as Cherry Pepsi goes, it's a convoluted mess. You just can't buy it anywhere. And I get a mixed bag of answers. Some Pepsi ppl tell me "it never sold well", while others tell me "stock issues". Stock issues that lasted since 2017? I want answers personally because that Pepsi is my fav and my province has a history of fucking customers over. But still.

I’m sure cherry Pepsi is still sold here on the east coast. I just had the new Cherries and Cream Pepsi today. Pepsi Canada needs to bring back more permanent flavours in cans, mainly Mountain Dew flavours. We had voltage and baja blast in cans up until Covid then they reduced canning to focus on the main products and never changed back.

Sorry, I meant here in QC. I get a mix of excuses, no straight answer, no timeline on a return. It's mind-boggling.

Pepsi also needs more full-sugar stuff in cans.

Why do you think Taco Bell changes their menu the same way...

u/PermanentUsername101 4d ago

The thing about Taco Bell is Mexican. Food only has six ingredients so you can still pretty much make anything that they’ve ever had on the menu just by asking them.

However, the McRib comes out once a year like clockwork. If Mountain Dew would just do the same, give me my summer breeze in June give me my voodoo in October. Give me my code read in spring.
