PURCHASE, NY — Almost everybody loves maple syrup and nearly everybody loves Pepsi, but does Maple Syrup Pepsi sound like a recipe for sweet success?

According to the Purchase-based cola giant, the partnership with IHOP gave birth to a cola that "combines the indulgent flavor profile of maple syrup with the crisp, refreshing caramel notes of a Pepsi."

The limited-edition Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola will only be made available to a select few social media users on Instagram and Twitter. Starting this morning, fans looking to get their hands on Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola can post a photo or video of their stack of pancakes on Instagram or Twitter tagging #ShowUsYourStack, #PepsiSweepstakes and @IHOP.
