Gingerbread Pepsi and Doritos Reportedly Hit Tesco Shelves in Limited Festive Run

Shopper sightings suggest limited‑edition gingerbread flavours are landing at Tesco without formal brand confirmation.

Overview

  • UK stores are reported to be stocking Gingerbread Pepsi, commonly described as a zero‑sugar Pepsi Max variant, alongside Gingerbread Doritos as seasonal limited editions.
  • Food‑spotter posts and shopper photos highlight eight‑can cola packs and 200g crisp bags, with availability variously cited as October 2 or October 3.
  • The buzz stems from Instagram posts by Newfoodsuk/NewFoodSpottersUK, which flagged the items as arriving in Tesco this week.
  • Public reaction online is polarized, with comments praising the novelty and others calling the flavours “revolting” or saying they “want to heave.”
  • Reports note the cola may resemble the discontinued Pepsi Max Ginger, which was sold in the UK from 2017 until its 2021 withdrawal, while exclusivity to Tesco remains unconfirmed.
