The soda brand posted a string of cryptic Instagram videos\u2014a red curtain here, a dressing room door there, a cheeky &#8220;ST&#8221; on the wall\u2014and fans immediately started guessing what&#8217;s coming.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">By Monday, the answer seemed obvious: cherries. Poppi\u2019s latest clip showed a silver dish filled with maraschino cherries, captioned, &#8220;Setting the table bc we&#8217;re about to eat \ud83c\udf52\ud83c\udf52\ud83c\udf52.&#8221; The center cherry is also adorned with the date &#8220;1.5,&#8221; teeing up their first better-for-you soda drop of 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It didn&#8217;t take long for fans to put two and two together. &#8220;NEED HER!!!!! \ud83c\udf52\ud83c\udf52\ud83c\udf52,&#8221; one person wrote. Another said, &#8220;MY DREAM COME TRUE,&#8221; while someone else chimed in, &#8220;Y\u2019all need to stop teasing!! So excited for this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Most of the internet&#8217;s now convinced Poppi&#8217;s gearing up to launch a Shirley Temple\u2013inspired flavor, based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/poppi-shirley-temple-12oz-can\/-\/A-95045101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/poppi-shirley-temple-12oz-can\/-\/A-95045101\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Target's early product listing\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"c4a1d8f1-f629-443d-a954-dba2b0f2ad0a\" data-node-id=\"7.3\" class=\"body-link product-links css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">Target&#8217;s early product listing<\/a> and the &#8220;ST&#8221; easter eggs in those teaser clips. It definitely tracks, since the brand already has Root Beer, Cherry Cola, and Cream Soda, so this one feels like a natural next step in their throwback-flavor profile journey.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Poppi hasn&#8217;t officially confirmed anything yet, but considering the hype (and the close proximity of that teased release date), it won\u2019t stay under wraps for long. And if this really is a fizzy nod to every kid&#8217;s favorite grenadine-and-lemon-lime mocktail, you can expect shelves to clear out\u2014and social feeds to light up\u2014the second it drops.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poppi teased a new cherry-flavored soda across a series of cryptic Instagram posts.
