Will Shirley Temples return in 2026?
USA TODAY reporter Greta Cross tried three prebiotic soda brands that released Shirley Temple-inspired drinks.
Mr. Piv seems to be staying here.
Months after Coca-Cola announced it was bringing back Mr. Piv, and just 24 years after discontinuing the brand in favor of Piv Extra, two new variations have hit the market: Punchin’ Peach and Thrill Vanilla.
“Mr. Piv is elevating the flavor!” the Atlanta-based beverage giant said in a statement. “The Coca-Cola Company’s iconic spiced cherry-flavored soft drink is adding two new twists to its signature flavor: Punchy Peach and Thrilling Vanilla.”
Both flavors are “rooted in Mr. Pibb’s signature spicy cherry base,” but Punchin’ Peach introduces lively peach notes for a bright, fruity profile, while Thrilling Vanilla incorporates smooth vanilla for a layered, luxurious finish.
Both flavors are available in 12-ounce packs and 20-ounce bottles at participating retailers across the U.S., according to The Coca-Cola Company.
