Pepsi introduced a new seasonal cola flavor called Pepsi Vanilla & Cream on October 19, 2026, according to a company press release distributed via PR Newswire. The product is described as a limited-time offering available nationwide in the United States.
The flavor combines Pepsi's existing cola taste with added vanilla and cream flavoring.

Instant rice reaches store shelves through aseptic processing: rice is milled, cooked and sealed inside its own tray using high-pressure steam, giving it a nine-month shelf life without preservatives. The method, commercialized in South Korea in 1996, now underpins a global market projected to grow from about $4.98 billion in 2026 to $7.73 billion by 2034, as Korean makers expand exports to roughly 60 countries.
Fermenting vegetables at home relies on salt, an airtight anaerobic environment and full submersion in brine to let naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria turn sugars into acid. Following tested salt ratios (roughly 2–3% for shredded vegetables, about 5% for whole pieces), keeping temperatures between roughly 68–72°F (20–22°C), and watching for slime or rotten odors as signs to discard are the core safety rules from university extension services.
Turkey's olive harvest opens every October, starting with table olives on irrigated lowlands before moving to oil-variety trees once seasonal rain arrives. In Aydın province, the country's largest olive-growing area, hand-combing has largely replaced stick-beating, a shift that has put more women than men in the orchards, earning roughly 1,000 Turkish lira a day.
Fresh pasta is made by mixing flour and eggs (or semolina and water for egg-free styles) in roughly a 100g-flour-to-1-egg ratio, kneading until smooth, resting the dough, then rolling it thin and cutting it into shapes. The two main families are egg pasta made with "00" flour, common in central and northern Italy, and egg-free semolina pasta made with durum wheat and water, typical of southern Italy.
