Pepsi quietly discontinued popular soda it planned to bring back
The news is doubly disappointing because the flavor had been expected to make a major comeback.
Soda companies, love to follow the blueprint created by fast food chains like McDonald’s and Burger King.
Those companies will occasionally remove something from the menu only to bring it back with more interest at a later date. Sometimes the item was a limited time offer in the first place and, in other cases, it was a menu item that grew a little bit tired.

But as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. McDonald’s bagel, breakfast sandwiches, were never huge sellers, but when they got removed, there was an outcry.
Maybe people only occasionally ordered them, but they liked them and wanted them to be on the menu. Customers may not order an item very often, but they like it being there for the day they feel like eating it.
