American soda brand OLIPOP has teamed up with luxury chocolatier Compartés to create a limited-edition chocolate collection inspired by popular soda flavours. The collaboration was reported on 13 October 2026.
And the flavors shocked me
The gift set features three chocolate bars inspired by OLIPOP’s Crisp Apple, Ginger Ale and Pomegranate Sparkle drinks. Each bar translates the character of its original beverage into a chocolate-based treat, offering consumers a different way to experience familiar flavours.
The collection combines Compartés’ handcrafted chocolate approach with OLIPOP’s playful beverage identity. It also demonstrates how partnerships between brands from different food and drink categories can create distinctive seasonal products.
Why it matters: Chocolate manufacturers are exploring collaborations beyond the traditional confectionery sector. Pairing chocolate with recognisable drinks and unexpected flavours can attract curious consumers and create new gifting opportunities.
