On 20 July, KFC Singapore announced their transition from Pepsi to Coca-Cola
KFC Singapore confirmed with a local media portal that the change in partnership was to "refresh its beverage options".
Prior to the announcement, Malaysians noticed a change in the refreshments served at their local KFCs
Before the official announcement of the change, Tantan News reported on 23 July that a Malaysian found a KFC outlet was still using their iconic Pepsi cup even though the soda machine has Coca-Cola logos.
A reddit user also posted a photo of a banner placed in a KFC outlet which promotes the pairing of Coca-Cola with their meals.
One reddit user commented that they received a Coke bottle instead of a Pepsi.
Another Reddit user, presumably from Indonesia, commented that their country has transitioned from Pepsi to Coca-Cola since 2020.
