If you've ever wondered what it would taste like to mix cola with pickle juice and milk, your curiosity is about to be answered. To celebrate the launch of the new Pepsi Max Electric, the soft drink brand is tapping into the viral "dirty soda" TikTok trend with a pop-up shop that promises a range of unusual flavour combinations.
For those not in the know, dirty sodas are soft drinks with unconventional mixers added in. We're talking about everything from flavoured fruit syrups to pickle juice–the latter of which went viral after pop star Dua Lipa revealed it was a favourite of hers.
Sydney locals will be able to visit the Dirty Soda Shop over two days this week to try the new citrus-flavoured Pepsi Max Electric and dirty it up with a range of popular combos for free, including Dua Lipa's pickle juice combo, or Lindsay Lohan’s Pilk (that's Pepsi and milk).
Other dirty soda options include Cold Blue (Pepsi Max Electric and cold brew) and Pepsi Strawberry Glaze (Pepsi Max Electric, coconut creamer, strawberry syrup).
If you're feeling adventurous, you can also create your own unconventional concoction with a range of available fruit purees, flavour syrups, and creamer. Some would call these combinations delicious, others would call them cursed. You can decide for yourself at the Pepsi Dirty Soda Shop.
