If you’re not quite ready to let go of holiday vibes and embrace Autumn, a refreshing fruity tipple in the form of Pepsi’s ‘best ever’ summer flavour might help.<\/p>\n
Pepsi MAX Mango – a tropical take on the popular original variety launched earlier this month and was only on sale at Tesco, but it’s now available around the UK.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pepsi MAX Mango isn’t the only fruit-inspired edition available for fizzy drink fans – other options include the popular cherry flavour, as well as lime and raspberry.<\/p>\n
The brand announced the arrival of their latest drink via a pop-up event in London train stations like Kings Cross and Waterloo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cola giant Pepsi has decided to delve into fruitier territory – and the new release has even been touted as ‘the brand’s best ever’ summer flavour yet<\/p>\n
At the event in early September, hundreds of commuters had the chance to sample the funky flavour.<\/p>\n
The Pepsi advertising campaign has been backed by popular British influencers like GKBarry, famed for her podcast and YouTuber Nella Rose.<\/p>\n
Pepsi’s marketing manager Dagmar Emery said: ‘Pepsi MAX Mango is the latest move in our commitment to delivering bold and delicious flavours that our consumers love.<\/p>\n
‘Last summer’s Taste Challenge saw 70% of participants across the UK prefer the refreshing taste of Pepsi MAX to the nation’s biggest selling full-sugar cola in a blind taste test.<\/p>\n
‘And now we’ve given the nation’s preferred taste an irresistible mango twist so you can get a taste of summer, even in those bleak winter months.<\/p>\n
‘We’re thrilled to say hello to Mango in style, giving commuters one last taste of summer and a sunny new drink to keep Seasonal Denial Syndrome at bay.’<\/p>\n
Pepsi consumers were quick to discuss the new flavour on Twitter, with many keen on the rogue flavour choice.<\/p>\n
One user said lauded the drink retailer but noted that certain flavours were hard to locate in UK stores: ‘Pepsi Max continues to build up their absolutely elite flavours roster: cherry, raspberry, lime, now mango. Though lemon remains elusive in UK’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tweets show an overwhelmingly positive reaction to Pepsi’s latest release: the Pepsi MAX Mango drink – although the new release was met with disgust by some<\/p>\n
While alcohol was on another user’s mind – with her urging other customers to try ‘Fireball Whisky Liqueur with Pepsi Max Mango’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And another user joked that he was ‘waiting for the agbalumo flavour’ – a\u00a0forest fruit tree commonly found throughout tropical Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
More hailed it as a tasty treat – one user said: ‘Mango Pepsi MAX I love you so much’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, not everyone was so excited by the prospect. One user lambasted the cola giant’s latest concoction for carrying ‘a bit of a fake flavour aftertaste’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And an Australian user wondered how Pepsi’s taste team decide on flavours, branding the mango fizzy drink as ‘gross.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brits across the country can buy 24 cans of Pepsi MAX Mango for \u00a39 at Iceland – or buy a 2 litre bottle for \u00a32.25 at Sainsbury’s – but other retailers including Ocado also stock the new flavour.<\/p>\n
