Stubborn Soda

The unique STUBBORN SODA flavor combinations feature Black Cherry with Tarragon, Orange Hibiscus, Agave Vanilla Cream Soda, Classic Root Beer and Lemon Berry Acai

StubbornSoda_900.jpg
PepsiCo says describes Stubborn Soda as the “next generation” of carbonated soft drinks with unexpected flavor combinations. Ingredients include Fair Trade certified cane sugar and stevia. Stubborn Soda also contains natural flavors and no high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners or Azo dyes.
August 25, 2016
STUBBORN SODA, a new line of crafted sodas available in five bold and unexpected flavor combinations, launched on shelves nationwide. To spread its tagline, "IT'S GOOD TO BE STUBBORN™," the brand has partnered with Robert Kirkman, creator and executive producer of "The Walking Dead" and "Outcast," and Skybound Entertainment to bring a new campaign to life.

The unique STUBBORN SODA flavor combinations feature an unexpected twist on traditional flavors, including Black Cherry with Tarragon, Orange Hibiscus, Agave Vanilla Cream Soda, Classic Root Beer and Lemon Berry Acai. Each 12-ounce glass bottle of STUBBORN SODA will contain 90 to 100 calories and is made with Fair Trade Certified Cane Sugar and Stevia. STUBBORN SODA is made with natural flavors and without High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), artificial sweeteners, and Azo Dyes. STUBBORN SODA launched in select foodservice locations on fountain in 2015.

"STUBBORN SODA is the next generation of carbonated soft drinks. We gave it that name because we don't compromise on our ingredients, flavors or the way the product is experienced," said Megan Gagnon, Director, Marketing, STUBBORN SODA. "We use only quality ingredients and flavors, and we've worked hard to create the ultimate experience – from the way the beverage is poured, to the perfect finishing garnish to bring fans a product they're proud to drink and share."
