Summary
Coca-Cola is ending Minute Maid frozen orange juice, lemonade and limeade this year, exiting the frozen-can category after 80 years.
PepsiCo’s pullbacks include Cheese Pizza Cheetos Puffs, Lay’s Sweet Potato Poppables and Smartfood Movie Theater Butter Popcorn as it trims its U.S. lineup.
The cuts reflect shifting consumer preferences and PepsiCo’s broader push toward simpler ingredients and products with functional benefits, a strategy it outlined last year.
Blue Bell’s Butter Crunch has also disappeared from its product page, underscoring a wider 2026 wave of grocery exits spanning freezer staples, snacks and ice cream.
