Starry Astrophage Burst: A Movie‑Inspired Sip You Can Only Find in the Movies

Pepsi has launched a new drink that looks straight out of a sci‑fi film, but it won’t show up on supermarket shelves. The soda is part of the brand’s “Drips” collection, a line that promises bold layers and playful mix‑ins for every mood. The newest addition is called Starry Astrophage Burst, a fountain‑only version that mixes the familiar lemon‑lime flavor of Starry with bright blue raspberry and sweet cherry. The result is a fizzy, caffeine‑free drink that feels like a space adventure in a cup. What makes it extra special is the topping of berry‑flavored gummy clusters, giving the soda a playful texture that echoes the movie’s cosmic theme. Pepsi says the flavor is inspired by Ryan Gosling’s film “Project Hail Mary, ” a nod to fans who enjoy pop culture references in their drinks.Despite the buzz, this beverage is only available at about 300 Regal Cinemas across the country. It will not appear in grocery stores, fast‑food chains, or other typical retail outlets. The limited‑time offer is meant to be a treat for moviegoers while supplies last. Other drinks in the Drips lineup include Pepsi Cherry Boba Burst, Starry Dragon Fruit Blast, and Tropicana Cotton Candy Lemonade. Each 24‑ounce cup is priced at $7. 99, a premium price that reflects the novelty and exclusivity of the product.
