Get ready to taste the stars with a drink that is out of this world.
DRIPS by Pepsi, a lineup of PepsiCo favorites with unique added mix-ins, is launching a new flavor inspired by the new movie “Project Hail Mary.” The new flavor called Starry Astrophage Burst brings a twist to the classic soda Starry.
The limited-time drink is a blend of the classic lemon-lime soda, mixed with bold blue raspberry and sweet cherry flavors. The soda is then topped with berry gummy clusters inspired by “Rocky,” one of the characters in the movie.
But the drink is not available everywhere; instead, the new drink will be flowing at nearly 300 Regal Cinemas locations across the United States as the new movie is set to be released March 20.
Here is what you .

The new drink will retail at $7.99 for a 24-oz beverage and will be available at Regal locations nationwide.
But moviegoers can get much more than a new soda, according to PepsiCo. Fans who buy a large Starry and popcorn can enter a sweepstakes for the chance to win a “once-in-a-lifetime trip to Iceland, inspired by the film’s thrilling journey beyond Earth.”
What other DRIPS by Pepsi drinks are available?
The new drink will join an existing lineup of DRIPS by Pepsi drinks at Regal Cinemas, which were initially announced back in August. They are the following:
Pepsi Cherry Boba Burst featuring Pepsi Zero Sugar, layered over cherry boba, topped with sweet cream cold foam and mini marshmallows.
Starry Dragon Fruit Blast: Starry and watermelon, garnished with dragon fruit
Tropicana Cotton Candy Lemonade: Tropicana Lemonade over candy boba, finished with floating cotton candy
