Pepsi introduced a new seasonal cola flavor called Pepsi Vanilla & Cream on October 19, 2026, according to a company press release distributed via PR Newswire. The product is described as a limited-time offering available nationwide in the United States.
The flavor combines Pepsi's existing cola taste with added vanilla and cream flavoring. Gustavo Reyna, Vice President of Marketing at Pepsi, said in the release that the product 'brings rich vanilla and smooth cream flavors to the unmistakable taste of Pepsi for something that feels nostalgic, new and undeniably delicious.'
Two versions, two package sizes
Pepsi is releasing the flavor in two versions: the original Pepsi Vanilla & Cream and Pepsi Zero Sugar Vanilla & Cream. The company says the Zero Sugar version delivers the same flavor profile with zero sugar and zero calories, giving consumers who avoid sugar or calories an alternative option.
Both versions are being sold in 12-pack cans and 20-ounce bottles, per the press release and confirmed by local television station WBRC, which covered the launch on October 19.

Spanish supermarkets are selling more ready-to-eat meals than ever: consumption has risen five-fold in two decades and 85% of shoppers now regularly buy prepared dishes, according to industry data. The trend, called "foodvenience," is changing how Spaniards eat lunch and has drawn complaints of unfair competition from the restaurant sector.
All tea — white, green, oolong, black and pu-erh — comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis; the difference is how much the leaf is oxidized before drying. Matching water temperature and steeping time to that oxidation level is what separates a flat or bitter cup from a balanced one.
Rice splits into three grain lengths—long, medium and short—that cook up differently because of their starch (amylose) content, and the right water-to-rice ratio and method depend on which type is in the pot. This guide lays out the main grain categories, the core cooking methods (absorption, pilaf-style toasting, risotto, sushi-style seasoning), and how those methods underpin dishes such as Spanish paella, Italian risotto, Japanese sushi rice and South Asian biryani.
Vegetarians and vegans can meet their protein needs by eating a daily variety of legumes, soy foods, grains, nuts and seeds, since most plant foods lack one or more essential amino acid on their own. Harvard's Nutrition Source lists quinoa as a complete plant protein on its own, while Healthline's nutrition review adds soy foods, buckwheat and several other foods that supply all nine essential amino acids by themselves.
