SodaStream Australia has introduced a new range of Pepsi syrup flavours, giving consumers the opportunity to make the popular drinks on-demand and in the convenience of their own home. 

Pepsi, Pepsi Max, 7UP, Mirinda and Mountain Dew flavours can now be mixed with SodaStream sparkling water. The SodaStream brand is part of the PepsiCo portfolio of brands.

SodaStream Australia managing director Mark Fenton said the Pepsi for SodaStream flavours are the result of two key players in the beverages industry coming together for the first time in Australia.

“Now, more than ever, Australians are craving the instant gratification that comes from living life on-demand, and Pepsi for SodaStream flavours delivers that at the touch of a button,” he said.

“Aussies can get the great taste by mixing it with sparkling water, while also feeling good about saving thousands of single-use plastic bottles.”

The new Pepsi for SodaStream flavoured syrups are available at retailers including Coles, Woolworths, Harvey Norman, Kmart, and Big W for an RRP of $7.00.
