We love upgrades. Who doesn’t? So, it’s no surprise that we are beyond excited about PepsiCo’s new beverage and snacks innovations for Expo 2020 Dubai. Make sure your phone is fully charged because you’ll be TikToking your way through their personalised Aquafina® Water Station, revolutionized AI-powered, shopping journey with the Pepsi® Go unattended store and munching on some delicious Sunbites in compostable packaging!

Yes, you read that right! PepsiCo is elevating the F&B experience at Expo 2020 Dubai!

PepsiCo is combining technology, innovation, and sustainability to transform the way we shop for products and the way we consume them. Not only do we get to customise our water experience (more on that in a mo) but we also enjoy knowing that it is helping to make our planet a better place.

Even Sunbites® got in on the action…in a super sustainable way. We can’t wait to check out their new compostable packaging, exclusive (we love that word) for Expo 2020 Dubai. It has a lower greenhouse gas footprint and the packaging itself contains plant-based materials. We’ll be snapping away as we eat these tasty, planet-friendly snacks.

The Aquafina Water Station is all about you…and our environment. This smart water experience allows you to customize your water in a unique way. First, you choose between still or sparkling water. Then you select your water flavour, you can include a variety of flavors like strawberry, lime, peach, and raspberry-lime. In addition to the flavor (if you choose one), you also get to control the temperate, carbonation level (if you chose sparkling water) and intensity of the flavor. We’ll be taking an ice cold, sparkling peach water, please. And make it strong. Extra strong.

Thanks to a QR-enabled reusable bottle, you can sync your bottle at any other Aquafina Water Station to get your refill *exactly* the way you like it.

It’s part of our Expo 2020 Dubai bucket list to check out the future of retail with PepsiCo’s AI powered shopping journey that allows for contactless payments at the Pepsi Go unattended store. PepsiCo has partnered with Mastercard to design this consumer shopping experience around the needs of their shoppers (aka us). This experience is convenient, contactless, and seamless.

You can enter the Pepsi Go unattended store by tapping, inserting, or swiping a valid payment card to open its doors. Once you’re inside, the store uses AI and computer recognition technology to track the PepsiCo snacks and drinks you select. Say goodbye to the days of waiting in a checkout queue. Thanks to the Mastercard Payment Gateway Services, simply exit the gates and your payment is automatically initiated.

We can’t wait to check out PepsiCo’s beverage and snacks innovations. Snacking never looked and felt so good!
