Overview

Shani (Arabic: شاني) is a berry-flavoured soft drink produced by PepsiCo. It is sold and marketed outside the United States, and the drink is popular in the Middle East region. As a PepsiCo product brand rather than a standalone company, Shani sits within the beverage giant's international portfolio of regional soft-drink trademarks. Its berry flavour profile distinguishes it from PepsiCo's flagship cola brands and positions it as a fruit-forward carbonated option for consumers in its target markets. The brand is marketed primarily in the Middle East, where Arabic-language branding and regional distribution networks support its presence. Because Shani is sold outside the United States, it is not part of PepsiCo's domestic North American soft-drink lineup; instead it functions as a localized trademark tailored to the tastes and retail environments of its operating region. Detailed public information about Shani's launch date, exact ingredient formulation, packaging formats, and market-by-market availability is limited, and the brand maintains a relatively low profile compared with PepsiCo's globally advertised carbonated soft drinks. Nonetheless, it represents a common strategy among large beverage companies: maintaining regional flavour variants and local trademarks that resonate with specific consumer bases while leveraging the parent company's manufacturing, bottling, and distribution scale. Shani's identity is therefore best understood as a regional PepsiCo soft-drink brand, berry-flavoured and Middle East-focused, rather than a distinct corporation or independent enterprise.

History

Shani is a berry-flavoured soft drink produced by PepsiCo and sold outside the United States. Publicly available information about the brand is limited, but it is known to be popular in the Middle East region. The brand operates as part of PepsiCo's international beverage portfolio, which includes numerous regional soft-drink trademarks tailored to local tastes. Shani's Arabic-language name (شاني) and its Middle East popularity indicate that it is positioned for consumers in that region rather than for the U.S. domestic market. As with many regional PepsiCo brands, Shani likely benefits from the parent company's bottling and distribution infrastructure, though specific launch dates, ownership transitions, and marketing milestones are not documented in the available evidence. The brand remains active as a regional soft-drink offering.
