It happened. Our fears have been confirmed. According to a press release from PepsiCo, the cinnamon-flavored soda will, in fact, be released nationwide via both bottles and cans — in addition to that hellish Slurpee flavor at 7-Eleven.

You can find them in 12-packs of 20-ounce bottles and 12-ounce cans and in single sets wherever Pepsi products are sold through the end of June. The company is trying to tout this as the "hottest drink of summer" but we're gonna go ahead and agree to disagree on that one.

After crashing and burning with its Kendall Jenner ad, Pepsi seems to be attempting a red-hot comeback. The soda giant has just launched a new Slurpee flavor that's injected with fiery cinnamon flavor at 7-Eleven.

It's called Pepsi Fire and it's apparently a limited-edition flavor only available at select locations of the convenience store, The Street reports.

There are already plenty of crazy Pepsi flavors all over the world, but this cinnamon concoction is hardly something we asked for. Reviews on social media are calling the Slurpee "gross" and "#toolit" and even giving it "four thumbs down."

If you're a fan of Fireball, then you'll likely want to throw this cinnamon-y stuff back all day every day. There have already been suggestions to mix the icy drink with the cinnamon-flavored whisky. "I'm not saying Fireball would go great with this... But I'm also not saying it wouldn't 😈," wrote the Instagrammer behind Powered by Ice Cream.

But for those of us who hate that artificial, Red Hot Tamale flavoring, this is our worst nightmare. Like seriously. Who puts cinnamon into cola and then says "Hey, you know what would make this even better? Freezing it!" Masochists, that's who.

Despite a Pepsi spokesperson telling The Street that Pepsi Fire will not be available in cans, photos circulating on Twitter and Facebook suggest otherwise.
