Is it just us, or are pineapple-flavored foods especially prominent this summer? Between Snapple’s Pineapple of My Eye and Taco Bell’s Pineapple Freeze, we already have plenty of pineapple sips to try this season. Pepsi is giving us another one with its new pineapple soda.

A pineapple-flavored Pepsi first came out in Japan in 2019. So if you happened to had the chance to try those bottles, you can compare it the U.S. version. As described on the packaging, you can expect the soda to taste like Pepsi “with a splash of pineapple juice.” Think of it like a tropical twist on your cola!

The latest edition to the Pepsi family, Pepsi Pineapple, is starting to appear on shelves. I found it at Walmart today. How does it hold up against Mango, Lime and Berry? (couldn’t find my last Berry can for the photo, I think I drank it) Its tied for first with Lime in my opinion. Followed by Berry, then Mango. I don’t really care for colas but if you put a splash of fruit juice in there I’m all for it. So thanks Pepsi for getting fruity! Loving these flavors! ~~~ I’ve heard that Lime is getting replaced by Pineapple so if you see any Lime on shelves, be sure to grab it. ~~~ #Soda #Pepsi #PepsiPineapple #PepsiLime #PepsiMango #Cola #SummerVibes

I'm not going to say I am responsible for this, but I did write a review of the Japanese version of Pepsi Pineapple last October, and in it I wrote, "...it is a Pepsi flavor that will never come to the U.S. unless a PepsiCo bigwig reads this review and is moved by my words so much that he or she convinces the powers that be to sell a pineapple-flavored Pepsi in the U.S." But if my words are responsible for this, you're welcome. Spotted by Zach at Walmart. UPDATE: @candyhunting says in the comments that this is replacing lime and is a Walmart exclusive.

Multiple Instagram accounts, including @theimpulsivebuy, have spotted the 12-ounce cans in an eight-pack at Walmart. It appears that the flavor might be exclusive to the retailer, so good thing there are Walmart locations across the country.

Just a little over a year ago, Pepsi introduced its Berry, Lime, and Mango flavors, which joined its Wild Cherry and Vanilla varieties. Again, is it just us, or does pineapple sound like the perfect flavor to join the lineup?
