Pepsi® Zero Sugar Takes The Field As The “Official Zero of the NFL” Ahead of the 2023 – 2024 Season

Brand Builds on Its Decades Long Partnership with the NFL to Give Away the First-Ever No. 0 Jerseys & Will Celebrate All Things Zero, All Season Long

Published

on

PURCHASE, N.Y. /PRNewswire/ — With the kickoff to the NFL season approaching, football fans will see a lot more zeroes on the gridiron this year as players will be able to don a jersey sporting the No. 0 for the first time in NFL history. As the Official Soft Drink of the NFL for over 20 years and still going strong, Pepsi® is proud to introduce Pepsi® Zero Sugar as the new “Official Zero of the NFL” for the 2023-2024 season – proving Zero has never tasted (or looked) so good, both on and off the field.

Pepsi Zero Sugar – the “Official Zero of the NFL” – teams up with D’ Andre Swift for the 2023-2024 season, proving zero has never tasted so good.

To celebrate, Pepsi is joining forces with running back D’Andre Swift of the Philadelphia Eagles – who announced earlier this year that he’d sport No. 0 during the upcoming season – to give away No. 0 NFL player jerseys from various teams to passionate, unapologetic fans all around the country.

“With many fans expressing their excitement to see which of their favorite players choose Zero, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for Pepsi Zero Sugar to show up for the most loyal football watchers,” said Melissa Duhaime, Director of Sports Marketing, PepsiCo. “As a longtime NFL partner, Pepsi is proud to have Pepsi Zero Sugar declared the ‘Official Zero of the NFL’ and elevate fans’ gameday experiences by gearing up with the first-ever No. 0 jerseys. We look forward to seeing all the unapologetic fans that join #TeamZero this year!”

Starting today, fans can go to www.pepsizerojersey.com for a chance to score one of the 100 jerseys, through September 17 at 11:59 p.m. ET. For teams without a player repping No. 0, brand Pepsi will offer to create a custom No. 0 jersey for winning fans. See official rules HERE.

“The Eagles helped bring the idea of No. 0 jerseys to the NFL, and I’m looking forward to being the first player in the team’s history to wear this number,” said D’Andre Swift. “Partnering with Pepsi Zero Sugar, the Official Zero of the NFL, is really exciting and gives our devoted fans a chance to represent #TeamZero all season long!”

Pepsi Zero Sugar is also teaming up with additional players taking No. 0 to join D’Andre Swift on #TeamZero throughout the season.  

All season long Pepsi will roll out additional touchpoints to celebrate Zero including:

  • Zero Games? Zero Problem: The NFL is one of the most popular sports leagues in the world, but many are surprised to learn that the majority of NFL fans have never attended an NFL game. As part of the Pepsi Zero Sugar “Official Zero of the NFL” platform, the brand will debut the “Zero Games Ticket Giveaway” later this season, giving passionate, diehard NFL fans the opportunity to score tickets to their first NFL game! Fans should stay tuned for official rules and timing from Pepsi social media channels.
  • Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Week and Rookie of the Year: The popular fan-voted Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Week and Rookie of the Year program returns for the 2023-2024 season with new digital and linear content consumer engagement opportunities, and more. Fans can visit www.nfl.com/rookies for details.

Death Wish Coffee Co. Celebrates National Coffee Day With The Launch of its First-Ever Light Roast

Death Wish Coffee Co. introduces its first Light Roast blend, offering a balanced flavor profile with sweet fruit notes, bright acidity, and robust depth, catering to evolving consumer tastes.

Published

on

The Premium USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified Blend Delivers a Bright, Smooth, and Bold Taste Unlike Any Other

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. /PRNewswire/ — Death Wish Coffee Co., the number one Organic and number one Fair Trade coffee brand in the United States*, has brightened up its portfolio with the launch of its first-ever Light Roast blend – a perfect balance of sweet, bright, and bold.

Death Wish Coffee Co.’s Light Roast Blend

The three-bean blend was intentionally crafted to highlight the sweet fruit notes of Colombian coffee, the bright acidity of Peruvian coffee, and the depth and body that premium Robusta has to offer. Slow-roasted to perfection, this complex brew will suit coffee enthusiasts who are seeking a lighter roast to invigorate their senses and keep them going all day long without compromising on quality or flavor. The Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, and Kosher roast can be enjoyed hot or iced and sipped during any time of day for a sustainably sourced pick-me-up that consumers can feel good about.

This addition is an expansion of Death Wish Coffee Co.’s core lineup of premium Medium, Dark, and Espresso roasts, which comes in response to the shifting flavor preferences of younger consumers.

“This exciting addition completes our core portfolio of Medium, Dark, Espresso, and now Light roasts —providing a range of high-quality, Fair Trade Certified, and USDA Organic roast shades for the discerning coffee consumer,” said Tom Ennis, President and CEO of Death Wish Coffee Co. “We are excited to offer a light, bright, and bold coffee for the new generation of coffee consumers that don’t want their parents’ coffee brand.”

Light Roast is available in 16 oz. ground bags, with whole bean and single-serve pods to follow. Light Roast can be purchased on www.deathwishcoffee.com and Amazon, with plans to hit Target shelves in early 2025.

Outside of its core line, Death Wish Coffee Co. also sells flavored options that are Fair Trade Certified and made with no artificial flavors. Each product follows rigorous standards that protect the environment and livelihoods of coffee farmers. For more information about Death Wish Coffee Co., please visit www.deathwishcoffee.com, and follow the brand on Instagram @deathwishcoffee.

About Death Wish Coffee Co.
Good things start small. Mike Brown brought his bold idea to life in 2012—seeking a stronger coffee for his local community. He searched far and wide for the world’s best beans, perfected a unique roasting technique, and Death Wish Coffee Company was born. What started as a few employees packing orders in the basement of a quaint coffee shop is now the #1 Fair Trade and #1 Organic Coffee Brand* in the United States and can be found in more than 25,000 stores nationwide, on Amazon and deathwishcoffee.com. Death Wish Coffee Company blends, including its Dark Roast, Medium Roast, Espresso Roast, Valhalla Java, and now Light Roast, are always Fair Trade + USDA Certified Organic.

SHUT UP! Ocean Spray® Introduces Mean Girls x Zero Sugar Collaboration in Celebration of the Film’s 20th Anniversary

Published

on

Teams up with Rajiv Surendra to Just Add Cran™ to Kevin G’s memorable rap and releases limited-edition pink packaging

BOSTON /PRNewswire/ — Today, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., is announcing an exciting collaboration with Paramount Consumer Products to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic film and pop-culture phenomenon Mean Girls with the launch of Mean Girls x Ocean Spray® Ocean Spray® Zero Sugar Cranberry and Mixed Berry Juice Drinks. Cranberry juice cocktail had a cameo in the original film – and it did have sugar, despite what Regina thought. But now 20 years later, just like the stars of the movie have evolved, Ocean Spray has too, with the introduction of Ocean Spray® Zero Sugar Juice Drinks to its product line up. It has zero sugar and no artificial sweeteners – just fierce flavor. 

Ocean Spray teams up with Rajiv Surendra to Just Add Cran™ to Kevin G’s memorable rap and releases limited-edition pink packaging

To celebrate, Ocean Spray teamed up with Rajiv Surendra, known for his iconic role as Kevin G and his infamous rap in Mean Girls, to reimagine it with zero sugars given. You can check out Rajiv’s bold, refreshed and a touch tart, Zero Sugars Given rap here.

“I’m grateful for fans’ continued love of the movie 20 years later and partnering with Ocean Spray to recreate the talent show rap was such a blast from the past,” said Rajiv Surendra. “Happy Mean Girls Day, everybody, and remember don’t ever let the haters stop you from doing your thang!”

Mean Girls x Ocean Spray Zero Sugar Juice Drink Cranberry and Mixed Berry flavors are available for a limited-time in-store and online nationwide at most major retailers including Walmart, Kroger and Publix for $3.65. Made with bold flavor from real fruit juice, 0 grams of sugar, and naturally sweetened with stevia, it serves as an excellent source of Vitamin C, with flavor as fresh as Surendra’s lyrics.

“Working with Rajiv and Paramount to launch our new limited-edition Mean Girls x Zero Sugar bottle has been an exciting experience,” said Trinh Le, VP of Next Generation Beverages and Omni-Channel Marketing at Ocean Spray®. “We pride ourselves in offering consumers a portfolio of choice and this partnership has been a fun and inventive way of not only spotlighting our Zero Sugar line but reminding consumers how far we’ve come in twenty years.”
