In an exciting development for beverage enthusiasts, a beloved prebiotic drink brand is set to make its UK debut soon. Below are the essential details about this upcoming launch.
Product Overview
There’s no denying that the United States excels in offering a diverse range of sodas, from classic Shirley Temple 7Up to eye-catching flavors like Arizona Sparkling Iced Tea and Dr Pepper.
Recently, Mr. Pibb was relaunched across the nation, and Ben Stiller introduced a soda brand inspired by his childhood. Now, a fan-favorite is making its way to the UK.
PepsiCo announced on February 26 that a gut health soda is on the horizon, promising to ‘revolutionize’ the soda experience for a new generation.
“Delivering full flavor fizz that’s made with ingredients you can love; low in sugar, low in calories and high in fiber,” the brand added.

Chishty also highlighted the brand’s ‘vibrant packaging’ and ‘bold flavor profiles’, which are sure to grab attention in retail spaces.
