Pepsi Max Phases Out Raspberry Flavor; Fans Launch Petition for Its Return

Pepsico has pulled out a fan-favorite flavor from grocery stores, and customers are campaigning for its return. The American beverage and snack giant ended the production of its Pepsi Max Raspberry and urged customers to try other flavors instead.

Pepsi Max Raspberry's Disappearance from Stores

According to Chronicle Live, several customers have been posting their frustrations on social media as they find it hard to find Pepsi Max Raspberry. They describe the experience of looking for this zero-calorie beverage by saying it is like "finding a needle in a haystack."

Another fan reportedly wrote on Pepsi Max's Facebook page, "Raspberry was my favorite, typical it's been binned off!" As many customers no longer see this flavored soda in stores, it has become clear that Pepsi already stopped its production.

It was mentioned that since Pepsi Max Raspberry was introduced alongside other flavors such as mango, lime, and cherry, it quickly became a favorite and leading choice among soda lovers who enjoy the fruity taste. However, PepsiCo removed it from the product list, and fans are asking the company to return it.

Fans' Petition

A group has launched a campaign to push PepsiCo to sell the Pepsi Max Raspberry flavor again. They set up a petition and encouraged other fans to sign up.

In their pleas, they said they need it back, and it is one of the best flavors among PepsiCo's offerings. Meanwhile, UK's Mirror reported this is the second blow to Pepsi drink customers who are still very sad about the dropping of Pepsi Ginger in 2021.

"We are really sorry to disappoint Pepsi MAX Raspberry fans with this news and we understand they're sad to see the flavor go," PepsiCo's spokesperson told the media in response to fans' reactions. "This change will enable us to focus our efforts on making more of the delicious Pepsi MAX flavors people love, such as Cherry, Lime and our recently launched Pepsi MAX Mango."
