Pepsi Unveils Prebiotic Cola, a Functional Beverage Launching Exclusively Online This Black Friday

Purchase, N.Y., November 20, 2025 – Just when you thought cola had run its course, Pepsi is shaking things up. This Black Friday, the iconic brand is making a bold move, dropping a limited online release of its new Pepsi® Prebiotic Cola.

This isn’t just another flavor; it’s being touted as the “boldest evolution in cola in more than two decades,” set to hit store shelves early next year. If you’re “cola-curious” or a lifelong fan, this could be your first taste of the future.

This new offering promises that “Unbelievably Pepsi” taste, but with a significant functional twist. Available in Original Cola and Cherry Vanilla, Pepsi Prebiotic Cola is engineered to deliver the flavor people have loved for decades, now infused with ingredients they’re actively seeking today.

What exactly does that mean? It’s crafted with:

• No artificial sweeteners
• Just 30 calories
• Only 5 grams of sugar
• 3g of prebiotic fiber

It’s a clear play to meet evolving consumer demands for healthier, more functional beverage options, without sacrificing the classic cola experience.

“At Pepsi, we are experts in great tasting cola – and have been for decades. The launch of Pepsi Prebiotic Cola marks a significant moment in our brand’s history and the cola category,” stated Gustavo Reyna, VP of Marketing, Pepsi. He emphasizes this breakthrough innovation upholds the iconic Pepsi taste, now with lower sugar and functional ingredients, designed to appeal to everyone from dedicated cola lovers to newcomers. PepsiCo, a global food and beverage giant with brands enjoyed billions of times a day across 200+ countries, is clearly putting its considerable weight behind this new direction.

So, how can you be among the first to try this new frontier in fizzy drinks? Mark your calendar for Black Friday, November 28.

Pepsi Prebiotic Cola 8-packs will be available first on Amazon, Walmart.com, and TikTok Shop, along with select markets on Kroger.com, DashMart, and Gopuff – but only while supplies last.

Furthermore, you can catch a special spot for Pepsi Prebiotic Cola during Amazon Prime Video’s Black Friday Football game, with the added perk of being able to shop it live directly from your TV screen. Is this the long-awaited disruption the soda industry needed?
