How it spread

Trace the origin

Poppi sold its rebranded soda online in December 2019. It reported higher sales after a founder-story TikTok, then ran paid creator campaigns and Super Bowl ads. PepsiCo announced a $1.95B acquisition in March 2025 and closed it in May.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
