PepsiCo has discontinued nine soda flavors and marked 21 other beverages as “limited time left” in stores worldwide, according to The Street. The move affects not only sodas but also several flavors of sparkling water, Gatorade, and energy drinks.

The “limited time left” label means the company has stopped producing the drinks, though some may still be available in stores until supplies run out. PepsiCo said the decision is part of a strategy to streamline its offerings and focus on its stronger products rather than abandoning variety altogether.

CEO Ramon Luis Larguarta explained, “When it comes to beverages, the focus has been in improving colas. And colas is a good success for us. We’ve been focusing on the no-sugar colas, we’ve been focusing on food and Pepsi, and we’ve been focusing on the taste challenge.” He added, “And those three elements have driven share — positive share performance for Pepsi, which is something we feel very good about. Not only in the US but globally,” as reported by The Mirror.
