The company said the “vibrant citrus blend” of the cola will enhance “the bright and tangy characteristics of ketchup,” therefore “offsetting the smokiness of the hot dog.”
The company said in a statement, “Pepsi is so confident that hot dogs are #BetterWithPepsi, the brand is taking hot dog enjoyment to the next level with Pepsi Colachup, giving fans the chance to add even more of the iconic sweet, citrusy taste of a crisp, refreshing Pepsi-Cola directly onto their hot dog.”
My current theory is that we are seeing the first wave of affirmative action hires hit EVP level so we're going to see a flood of really terrible decisions get pushed through at the corporate level.
I've never seen such incredibly poor decision making among major companies in my entire life.
Gaurantee this is more of a boomer move.. a boomer saw something viral like 1 year ago and decides to copy it. Its like NFTs.. NFTs were hot for 1 month, but ceos and companies were still pushing NFT.
even dumber, since when does pepsi have a "vibrant citrus blend"? last i checked, it's just water, sugar, phosphoric acid, kola nut extract, carbonation, and more preservatives. or are they now saying that sodium benzoate is an all natural citrus blend?
i do think you're right on the money though... these dumbass diversity hires just killed 5 people at oceangate, including the CEO. now they're making pepsi flavored ketchup. snore.
It's like someone with a 90 IQ read about the fact that ketchup can be made with mushrooms or fruit, and was like "WE CAN MAKE SODA KETCHUP! WE CAN CALL IT... COLAKETCHUP! COLACHUP!"

Oh! I left out the NAME of this stuff.
They took cues from Pink Sauce. Does it have to be good? No, just viral.
Didn't some big company try selling weirdly colored ketchup, too? Like green or purple?
Yes and if I recall that was one of the worst product launches in the last few years. Green ketchup wasn't it?
I'm sorry to tell you this, but Heinz launched green ketchup 23 years ago.
It would be good if it was made out of jalapenos.
Pink Sauce? Do you mean Ketchup and Mayo? Pink Sauce or Fry Sauce is found all over the rocky mountains.
Nope, talking about this abomination
How dare they appropriate my culture!

Original pre-1776 ketchups were made from mushrooms and fermented fish because the Brits thought tomatoes were poisonous.
More garum, please!
Another food history geek? There are braces of us, braces!
And it's odd that every Asian and European culture developed some sort of fermented fish sauce.
To be faaaaaaaaiiiiiir, up until about 1800 or so, everyone thought tomatoes were poisonous.
I’ll reserve judgment on how anything tastes until I try it, but god damn “Colachup” is terrible. Like, WOW.
