Fans Are Racing to Try Pepsi's 'Fun' and 'Creative' New Offerings—Here's Where to Find Them
The 2025 cinema run should go down in the history books as one of the greatest of all time. We've seen such standouts as Sinners and Tyler Perry's Straw, and even got another installment in the Jurassic Park universe. Superman has officially returned, and we can't wait to see Pedro Pascal star in the new Fantastic 4: First Steps film. While streaming is still most people's preferred method of viewing, the movie theaters are back in a big way, and legacy institutions are finding exciting new ways to reimagine the film-going experience.

From buzzy (and slightly suggestive) popcorn buckets to movies shot in multiple formats at once, we're truly witnessing a golden age in motion picture history. Sure, not every movie is a hit, but it's the total experience that matters. You might not need a while you're watching Scarlett Johansson kill it on screen, but it doesn't hurt either. Besides, we're already sneaking full pizzas into the theater anyway, so why not indulge a bit on your in-movie meal?Even if you are the type to sneak in snacks in your boots or stash popcorn in your purse, it's hard to stop by the snack counter just to window shop. Of course, once you're there, you might as well go ahead and make it a large. As if we needed even more temptation, Regal and Pepsi just teamed up with a refreshing-looking drink menu that's got fans buying movie tickets in droves. According to @markie_devo, the iconic brands teamed up to launch new Pepsi Drips, a lineup of three new beverage concoctions exclusive to Regal Cinemas.
You can choose between Tropicana Cotton Candy Lemonade, which features Tropicana Lemonade, candy boba, and floating cotton candy; Pepsi Cherry Boba burst, a blend of Pepsi Zero Sugar over cherry boba, finished with sweet cream cold foam and mini marshmallows; or the Starry Dragonfruit Blast, which mixes Starry and watermelon with a dragonfruit garnish. Just go ahead and take my money. As delicious as they sound, though, the only catch is you'll only find them at Regal Pinnacle and Regal Times Square for now.
Unsurprisingly, movie fans took to the comments to express their excitement, with most saying, 'Ooo, these look fun.' We think so too! Here's hoping we get a wider rollout soon.Fans Are Racing to Try Pepsi's 'Fun' and 'Creative' New Offerings—Here's Where to Find Them first appeared on Parade on Jul 11, 2025

Decades ago, a WWII veteran signed a contract to conduct a band on his 100th birthday. Last month, he fulfilled it.
Wheaton, Illinois — It's been more than 80 years since retired U.S. Air Force Col. Arnald Gabriel of Arlington, Virginia, took an enlistment oath to defend his country during World War II, where he saw combat. The 100-year-old Gabriel, who also served in the U.S. Army, was once the conductor of the U.S. Air Force Band, and under his leadership, it became internationally renowned. In 1992, one of his biggest fans, Bruce Moss — conductor of the Wheaton Municipal Band in Wheaton, Illinois — invited Gabriel to be a guest conductor. "He did not know me," Moss told CBS News. "He did not know the band. But he fell in love with the band over time, and kept coming back." On a subsequent visit in 2000 or 2001, Moss said he told Gabriel, who was in his 70s at the time, "You look so good, I bet you'll still be conducting at 100." According to Moss, Gabriel replied, "I fully intend to." When Moss heard that, he recognized an opportunity too good to pass up. He wrote up a contract that stated Gabriel would commit to conducting the Wheaton Municipal Band on his 100th birthday. "So I went home, wrote a contract and mailed it to him," Moss said. "... He [Gabriel] said, 'Of course, if I don't make it to 100, this contract's null and void, but don't count on it.'" Gabriel's health is declining and he cannot travel anymore. But he was determined to honor his commitment. "Your word is your bond," Gabriel told CBS News. "If you sign a contract, you have to fulfill it — no question about it." And that's why, last month, remotely, he struck up the Wheaton Municipal Band one last time. Even at age 100, he kept perfect time. But more importantly, he had kept his word. "It felt like I was there on stage with them," Gabriel said. "That's the way it felt."

Tristan Rogers, longtime 'General Hospital' star and soap opera veteran, dead at 79
Tristan Rogers, best known for starring as Robert Scorpio in the long-running soap opera "General Hospital," has died. He was 79. "General Hospital" Executive Producer Frank Valentini announced Rogers' death in a personal statement shared on the ABC TV series' official Instagram page Friday. Last month, Rogers' representative confirmed to Fox News Digital that the actor had been diagnosed with cancer. "The entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers' passing," Valentini wrote alongside a photo of Rogers. "Tristan has captivated our fans for more than 50 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio)," he continued. "I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time. Tristan was a one-of-a-kind talent and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace." Rogers appeared in more than 1,400 episodes of "General Hospital" over more than four decades. The Australian actor first began playing the Scorpio role in 1980. He briefly left the series in 1992 when his character was killed off, only to reappear in 1995 as a spirit, before returning to the show in 2006 when his character was found alive again. He appeared in a dozen episodes of "General Hospital: Night Shift," and his character's last appearance on "General Hospital" was on Nov. 12, when Scorpio left town with his ex, Holly Sutton. "Robert has always had kind of a glib approach to everything; he's a bit of a smart-mouth," he told Soap Opera Digest in 2018. "I'm working with a lot of different people. … And I think the fans are going to like it." In addition to his role on "General Hospital," Rogers starred as Colin Atkinson on the CBS soap opera "The Young and the Restless" He appeared in nearly 200 episodes of the show from 2010 to 2012. He earned a daytime Emmy in 2020 for outstanding performance by a supporting actor in a digital drama series for his work on "Studio City." Rogers was then nominated the following year for "The Bay." With more than 50 credits to his name, Rogers dabbled in voice work and voiced the character of Jake in "The Rescuers Down Under."
