It’s true.

My favorite Pepsi drink to hit shelves since Crystal Pepsi is no more.

As you’ll recall, last week, I discovered — thanks to a manager at a Rite Aid I frequent often — that Pepsi Next had been discontinued.

I reached out to Pepsi and received the following response:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us at PepsiCo.
Regarding your question, Pepsi Next is not currently available. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Please know that I will forward your sentiments to our senior management team to be sure that they fully understand your position.

Regards,
Caitlin
Senior Consumer Relations Representative

It’s not available in the United States, but I’ve determined it apparently still is available in Canada (of course, because they all of the cool stuff).

Dear Pepsi: Please bring back Pepsi Next … or use that recipe for your regular Pepsi product. I won’t tell anyone!
