Nitro Pepsi was a cola soft drink produced by PepsiCo. It was a nitrogen-infused version of Pepsi. The addition of nitrogen gas, instead of the usual carbon dioxide, created a smooth texture.
It was developed around 2019,[1] and had been marketed since March 2022.[2] The drink came in an aluminum can containing a widget that infused the drink with nitrogen when the can was opened, similar to a system developed in the late 1950s by Michael Edward Ash for nitrogenating canned draft beers such as Guinness.[3] The beverage was also available in a vanilla flavor.[4]
On October 18, 2024, PepsiCo announced that they would be discontinuing Nitro Pepsi in January 2025.[5]
