Korea’s New Pepsi Extra Fizz: More Bubbles, More Fun!

Korea is known for releasing unique soft drinks, and this summer there’s a new one for cola fans: Pepsi Extra Fizz (펩시 엑스트라 피즈).

Unlike regular Pepsi, this version is designed to keep its carbonation stronger for a longer time. According to the manufacturer, a special production process creates finer bubbles, giving the drink a more intense sparkling sensation from the first sip to the last. It also contains about 30% less sugar and fewer calories than regular Pepsi, making it a lighter choice for people who still enjoy a classic cola taste. The drink is available in 355 mL cans and 500 mL bottles at convenience stores and supermarkets across Korea. (Lotte Chilsung⁠)
