The Pepsi Challenge

The Pepsi Challenge is coming to DePaul University!

PEPSI® is bringing the iconic blind taste test to the DePaul University campus, inviting consumers to put their taste to the ultimate test and decide for themselves who has the superior-tasting cola.

Last year, the Pepsi Challenge results were undeniable. In 2025, Pepsi Zero Sugar beat Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in the majority of stops along the national Pepsi Challenge tour — including Atlanta, Coke’s hometown — with more than 66% of participants choosing Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Now, fans in the Chicago area will have the chance to take the famous challenge. And this time there's even more flavor on the table – with attendees putting Pepsi Zero Sugar Wild Cherry to the test too.
