Cherry Pepsi has long lived in the shadow of Cherry Coke, not just in terms of flavor, but also design. From its cheap window shade look in the 80s to the Basquiat-style lettering that appeared in the 90s, the cherry-flavored cola was its very own beast, and it didn’t necessarily stick to the rules of brand uniformity. In that way, it was your cooler older sibling with impeccable thrift store finds and a much better record collection.
Today, PepsiCo has officially launched its newest flavor, Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream. While I can’t speak to the addition of vanilla to the cherry-flavored soda, I can at least say that the new design has a little more fun.
