With summer just around the corner, many will turn to icy beverages for a quick cooldown.

Pepsi, on the other hand, will look to heat up some taste buds with its cinnamon-flavored “Pepsi Fire.” The limited edition drink will reach stores nationwide starting Monday, according to a PepsiCo press release, and will be sold nationwide for eight weeks.

Many have already tried the drink, which has had a limited release including Slurpee form in 7-Eleven stores around the country.

People are already sharing their opinions on Twitter. Some are enjoying it – others are flat-out disgusted.
