Skyline Chili customers are buzzing about a significant shift in their beloved chain's soft drink offerings. The Cincinnati-style chili eatery recently revealed its plan to transition from Pepsi products to Coca-Cola beverages starting in April.
Partnership Announcement with Coca-Cola
In an exciting update on March 18, Skyline Chili declared its official collaboration with Coca-Cola. Today reported that the change will begin next month, with a new lineup of Coke products to complement the iconic Skyline Coneys and Ways.
Skyline emphasized that the switch was not about Pepsi but a strategic choice for the business. A representative from Skyline explained that after considering various factors, they concluded that aligning with Coke was the best decision.
Come April, Skyline will introduce a diverse array of drinks, including Dr. Pepper, Diet Dr. Pepper, Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Cherry Coke, Fanta, Minute Maid Lemonade, Mountain Berry Powerade, Mello Yello, Barq's Root Beer, Barq's Red Crème Soda and Iced Tea.
Social Media Reaction
Cincinnati noted that upon hearing the news, social media users had mixed responses. While some welcomed the change enthusiastically, others expressed concerns about Mountain Dew's absence from the new lineup.
Despite the shift, Skyline assured customers that Dr. Pepper, a popular choice among patrons, would continue to be available, emphasizing that it is not affiliated with Coca-Cola or PepsiCo.
Confidence in Customer Adaptation
Skyline acknowledged the initial reactions, especially regarding Mountain Dew, but expressed confidence that customers would find new favorites among the expanded Coke offerings.
With 138 locations across Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Florida, Skyline Chili is renowned for its Cincinnati-style dishes, such as Coneys and Cincinnati chili, served in various ways to suit diverse tastes.
In recent memory, this is not the first time that a Midwest franchise has upset loyal customers by switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola. When Culver's announced in January 2023 that it would be moving from Pepsi to Coca-Cola products, several customers expressed their outrage on social media, with one person claiming the announcement "ruined (her) entire day."
