Pepsi, in partnership with CIA Consulting, reinvents the condiment industry with 'Pepsi Colachup,' a first-of-its-kind Pepsi-infused ketchup, promising a tantalizing new hot dog experience.
This bold move is a testament to Pepsi's belief that hot dogs are truly #BetterWithPepsi. Now, consumers can take their hot dog experience to the next level by indulging in the iconic sweet and citrusy taste of Pepsi-Cola directly on their hot dog.
According to David Kamen, the Director of Client Experience for CIA Consulting, the concept behind Pepsi Colachup is both simple and creative. By infusing the vibrant citrus blend of Pepsi, this innovative condiment amplifies the bright and tangy characteristics of ketchup, perfectly complementing the smokiness of the hot dog. It's an exciting way to reimagine two American classics!
To celebrate this unmatched pairing, Pepsi has partnered with the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks, and New York Yankees for exclusive in-stadium sampling during their home games on July 4. Look out for the sampling carts at these stadium locations to be one of the first to try Pepsi Colachup.
According to Jenny Danzi, Senior Director of Pepsi ™, with Pepsi Colachup, they're taking this unparalleled combination to new heights, building upon their successful #BetterWithPepsi campaigns of past summers, which highlighted how pizza and burgers go perfectly with Pepsi. She added that their invention of Pepsi Colachup further reinforces the undeniable harmony between hot dogs and Pepsi that seamlessly fuses a condiment with the ultimate hot dog-pairing beverage, offering a cohesive and delightful flavor experience."
The hot dog promotion and limited-edition Pepsi Colachup are just the latest examples of Pepsi's commitment to enhancing the dining experience. The sauce is a pivotal component of Pepsi's dynamic "Better with Pepsi" ad campaign, strategically aimed at diminishing Coca-Cola's drink dominance.
Alongside audacious stunts like this one, the company has made assertive investments in zero-sugar beverages, sports drinks, and strategic partnerships, such as Starbucks bottled drinks.
