Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

We are going to be honest with you here, we have mixed a number of items with our Pepsi over the years but for the most part, it was not milk!

Rum is always a great choice or maybe you’re more of a grenadine person. For the vast majority of people, milk is not a beverage that is going to cross their minds in these contexts.

Pepsi is now looking to change this. If you are willing to enter their holiday contest, you are going to have to get used to the concept of “pilk.” This is the concoction that is created once Pepsi and milk have been combined.

As Pepsi shared on YouTube, this beverage is going to pair well with some cookies. They are even encouraging people to leave some out for Santa’s big arrival claiming that rumors say he prefers it over regular milk!

We wonder if that’s what the ol’ St. Nick really wants this Christmas but there is only one way to find out for sure! For those who are unaware of the rich history that this combination holds, it has actually been discussed ever since the 1970s. If you are an avid watcher of old-school sitcoms, you probably remember it from Laverne & Shirley episodes.

Penny Marshall’s Laverne used to enjoy the strange combination on a regular basis. You may have also heard of this mixture referred to as a dirty soda, although that definition has shifted quite a bit in modern times. A modern day “dirty soda” is typically spiked with something that is a bit stronger than some milk.

This wild promotion from Pepsi is your chance to get in on the fun. They have partnered with actress Lindsay Lohan and they have a sweepstakes for anyone who has found themselves on the naughty list this holiday season. Anyone who is looking for some extra cash to handle that Christmas shopping would do well to learn more about this one.

The Pilk and Cookies Challenge is simple. Post your dirty treat on TikTok, Twitter or Instagram. Throw Pepsi a follow and use the #PilkandCookies #Sweepstakes hashtags. 25 lucky fans will be chosen and they will be given the chance to take home a $1,000 prepaid debit card. No purchase is necessary to enter and entrants must also be at least 18 years of age.
