Pepsi and IHOP Team Up for Limited-Edition Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola

Pepsi is celebrating pancake lovers everywhere with their latest limited-edition flavor.
In partnership with restaurant chain IHOP, the soda giant has created Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola — a new beverage that they say "combines the indulgent flavor profile of maple syrup with the crisp, refreshing caramel notes of a Pepsi."
Sadly, to taste the flavor, thirsty customers won't be able to head to a store.
The company is only letting a 2,000 lucky winners get their hands on a 12 oz. can of Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola through an online contest, dubbed their #ShowUsYourStack sweepstakes on Instagram and Twitter.
Now through March 29, hopefuls should share photos or video of their stacks of pancakes to the social platforms, tagging @IHOP and using the hashtags #ShowUsYourStack and #PepsiSweepstakes. Fans must follow @Pepsi for the duration of the sweepstakes.
One consumer will also be surprised with a custom Pepsi Spout, inspired by the iconic IHOP syrup pitchers, that will produce the perfect pour.

This isn't the first time Pepsi has collaborated with brands for a unique flavor innovation.
Back in October, they joined forces with Cracker Jack to create a Pepsi and Cracker Jack soda that combined their classic taste with the nostalgic blend of caramel, popcorn and peanut flavors.
Last March, Pepsi also worked with Peeps to create a marshmallow cola, packaging the cans in a colorful, cute three-pack.
Both flavors, as well as an apple pie offering that came out in November 2020, were only offered through similar contests as the Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola.

There is a new Pepsi taste that shoppers can pick up in stores, however.
Beginning March 28, retailers will start carrying Nitro Pepsi, the first-ever nitrogen-infused cola to hit the market.
Softer than a soft drink, Nitro Pepsi is creamy and smooth, with what the brand describes as "a mesmerizing cascade of tiny bubbles topped off by a frothy foam head."
"Nitro Pepsi will have you reconsider what you know about cola," they added, noting that "a unique widget placed at the bottom of every can" — the same often seen in beer and coffee products — helps give the cola a frothy, foamy texture.

Because of that, Nitro Pepsi is not meant to be consumed like traditional sodas, either. It's best served cold, hand-poured into a tall glass (ideally without ice) and sipped directly from the glass, rather than through a straw.
It comes in two flavors: Draft Cola and Vanilla Draft Cola, both for sale in single-serve and 4-pack varieties.
