IHOP Teams Up With Pepsi to Make A Maple Syrup Soda

Announced today, Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola is an official (and fitting) collaboration with IHOP. This new soda won't be available in stores. And oddly enough, it won't even be available at IHOP locations either. Instead, in what has become a common promotional method, these "highly limited-edition" sodas will only be available through a social media giveaway.

From now until March 29, soda lovers are being asked to use either Instagram or Twitter to post a photo or video of a stack of pancakes, tagging @IHOP and adding the hashtags #ShowUsYourStack and #PepsiSweepstakes. In the end, 2,000 winners will receive a can, with Pepsi explaining that "one consumer will also be surprised with a custom Pepsi Spout, inspired by the iconic IHOP syrup pitchers, that will produce the perfect pour to enjoy Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola."

As for the cola itself, Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola is described as combining "the indulgent flavor profile of maple syrup with the crisp, refreshing caramel notes of a Pepsi." And the can is also a bit of a highlight, featuring vibrant imagery of a golden cascade of maple syrup dripping from the top.
