Pepsi Receives Criticism for Introducing Unexpected Hot Dog Addition: ‘Y’all Need to Rethink This’

Fizz the season! On Tuesday, Pepsi delighted its fans with an exciting announcement – the introduction of its first infused condiment called “Colachup.” This delectable sauce, specially crafted for the Fourth of July, aims to enhance the taste of hot dogs. Developed in collaboration with the Culinary Institute of America Consulting, Colachup is a unique blend of Pepsi reduction, smoked tomatoes, a medley of spices including cinnamon and oregano, onions, and ketchup. A press release from Pepsi describes the limited-edition product as having a “sweet, citrusy taste,” incorporating the signature flavors of the beloved carbonated drink.

Taking a leap into the condiment world, Pepsi has partnered with the esteemed Culinary Institute of America to bring this innovative creation to life. However, to the disappointment, or perhaps relief, of some, Colachup will only be available for a limited time on July 4th at select baseball stadiums across the country. Notably, fans can relish this special treat at the Pepsi Lounge in Yankee Stadium, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Chase Field in Phoenix, the Minnesota Twins’ Target Field in Minneapolis, and the Tigers’ Comerica Park in Detroit. The endorsement of competitive eater Joey Chestnut, who holds the world record for consuming 76 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs and buns in just 10 minutes, adds credibility to the delectable offering.

However, not all Pepsi fans shared the same enthusiasm upon hearing the news. Some took to Twitter to express their surprise and skepticism. One user wrote, “Jesus… Y’all need Jesus,” while another agreed, stating, “I mean I like Pepsi… but not that much.” Despite these mixed reactions, there were many who eagerly anticipated trying the elusive Colachup. A Twitter user exclaimed, “I gotta get me some of that Pepsi Colachup! #BetterWithPepsi.” There was even a request for the condiment to be readily available in stores, with one person suggesting, “Drop it in Walmart or Target,” and another echoing, ” #BetterWithPepsi I would totally buy that! Is it in stores?? Online??”

Pepsi’s foray into the world of unique food creations is not an isolated incident. Other food brands have also introduced their own twists on classic favorites in recent months. Blue Bell ice cream, for instance, partnered with Dr. Pepper to create a new flavor called the Dr. Pepper float. However, this creation garnered mixed reactions, with some fans suggesting it should have been made with root beer instead. In a similar vein, Burger King released a vibrant red Whopper in honor of the premiere of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” on June 2nd. These inventive collaborations and limited-edition offerings continue to captivate and surprise food enthusiasts.
