PURCHASE, N.Y., May 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Pepsi is
encouraging fans to "Get It While It's Hot™" with the launch of its
newest limited-edition beverage, Pepsi Fire. Beginning May 22, Pepsi Fire – the refreshing cola with a
cinnamon flavored twist – will be available in stores nationwide
for an eight-week period.
That's not all that is heating up this summer. From May 22 through July 16, fans who find specially
marked packs of Pepsi Fire, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Zero Sugar and
Pepsi Wild Cherry can "Snap-Unlock-Win" a chance to take home
thousands of the season's hottest prizes. In a first-of-its-kind
promotion, select Pepsi brand packaging will feature a Snapcode
that unlocks a variety of exclusive Snapchat features, including
unique Lenses, Geofilters and a new Pepsi mobile game.
"Summer is one of the most anticipated times of the year, and
Pepsi Fire is going to ignite this season with an unexpected and
spicy twist to our classic cola taste," said Lauren Cohen, Director, Marketing, Pepsi. "We
know Pepsi fans love spending time on Snapchat, and we are excited
to offer them a chance to Snap their way to one of one-thousand
gaming consoles, a trip to Lollapalooza or a CONAN show
meet-and-greet."
To unlock exclusive Pepsi content and experiences, Snapchatters
can point the Snapchat camera at the on-pack Snapcode and press and
hold to scan. By unlocking the mobile game, consumers can also
enter a sweepstakes where 10 lucky winners per day will take home
big ticket items, including hard to find new gaming consoles,
festival fly-away experiences and a chance to attend a taping of
TBS's CONAN plus meet-and-greet.
The summer campaign will be supported by digital, out of home
and on-air advertising, including a new national TV commercial
launching in June. In a summer-long series, Pepsi will also partner
with TV's favorite fiery late night host, TBS's Conan O'Brien, for special content across TV,
digital and social.
Pepsi Fire will be available at major retailers in 20 oz.
bottles and 12-oz. can 12-packs. A limited edition Pepsi Fire
Slurpee drink will be available exclusively at participating
7-Eleven stores across the country through the end of June, making
