Pepsi Blue

Pepsi Blue was a limited-edition, berry-flavored soda from PepsiCo, first released in the early 2000s and known for its striking, artificially blue color. It was a carbonated soft drink, not a food dish, made with high-fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, and natural and artificial flavors. It was primarily marketed in the United States.

💡 What's interesting

Pepsi Blue's cultural legacy is tied to its bold, almost neon-blue hue and its association with the pop culture of the Y2K era, making it a nostalgic icon for millennials. Its discontinuation after a short initial run turned it into a sought-after collector's item and a frequent subject of online 'bring it back' campaigns.
