On May 1 of this year, for the first time in five years, the soda offered a new flavor: Dark Berry.

The new flavor was created as part of a promotional tie-in with the upcoming Marvel Studios movie 'Spider-Man: Far From Home.'

That film will hit theaters this coming holiday weekend on July 5.

You can purchase a 12-pack of Dark Berry cans for about $5.29. A 20 oz. bottle, will cost you roughly $1.99.
