Fans Have Been Buzzing
Fans have been buzzing about the switch back to Coke products for months now after rumors first started circulating online last year. "Don't toy with my emotions like this," one Redditor said back in December (bet they're happy now!). Costco members in California also noticed the Pepsi machines were being removed from food courts. "Monterey Park, CA. All Pepsi dispensers are gone," one Redditor posted. "Include Coke Zero and my local Costco will be sick of my face real quick," one excited fan commented. "Please for the love of god let me get a Coke Zero, I would get one every time I shop," another gushed.
This Will be Across 14 Countries
The transition will span warehouses in 14 countries, so Costco members everywhere can once again enjoy their favorite Coca-Cola beverages alongside Costco's iconic food court offerings. The Costco Buys account also posted the news, saying, GOOD NEWS! Coca-Cola is coming back to the Costco Food Court! It's available now in select locations, and will be available nationwide in July! 👏🏼 Are you guys as excited as I am?! 🙋🏻♀️" the caption reads. "I can't wait for a $1.50 hot dog and crisp Diet Coke 😍," one commenter said. "OMG THIS IS IT, BOYS!!!!!" another added.
Bring on the Dr Pepper!
Many shoppers are also hoping Costco will offer Dr Pepper at some point. "I never get the hot dog and drink deal because it's not worth it to have my one soda per week limit used on Pepsi. If it was Dr. Pepper, I'd get that deal way more often. I bet you'd see a significant spike in revenue in Texas," one Redditor shared.
