Popeyes Added Three Pineapple Drinks From $3.49 on August 31 — No End Date Announced

The drinks were announced at the end of a press release whose main subject was something else. Popeyes used the release to introduce "THAT Chicken from Popeyes," a national brand campaign, and to relaunch the $6 Big Box. The pineapple line is the last item in it: "Rounding out the offering are new limited-time Pineapple Beverages. Available as Pineapple Lemonade, Frozen Pineapple Lemonade and Pineapple Iced Tea, the refreshing drinks start at $3.49."

That is the whole of the official product description. Popeyes did not publish ingredients, sizes, calorie counts, or a per-drink price, and this page does not fill those gaps in.

"Start at $3.49" is the company's own wording, and it is doing real work. It sets a floor for the line without saying which of the three drinks costs that, or what the other two cost. Nation's Restaurant News and QSRweb both reported the same $3.49 starting figure on August 31, and neither published a full price list, so no per-drink price is on the record. Popeyes' own menu pages are client-rendered and did not yield one on checking.

Popeyes described the drinks as "limited-time" and stopped there — no last day, no number of weeks, no "while supplies last" window. The trade coverage on the day of the announcement did not add one either.

This is the ordinary case rather than an oversight: chains routinely announce a limited-time item and decide its end internally. Until Popeyes says otherwise, the honest answer to "when do the pineapple drinks end" is that no end date has been announced. This page is scheduled for re-checking and will carry the date once one exists.

Re-checked on September 21, 2026. Three weeks after the announcement, no last day has appeared in Popeyes' newsroom or in the trade coverage of the launch, and the company has published nothing further about the line. The answer to "when do the pineapple drinks end" is still that Popeyes has not said.

The pineapple drinks are a small part of a much larger repositioning. Nation's Restaurant News reported that Popeyes has now posted six consecutive quarters of same-store sales declines, including a 5.2% drop in the second quarter of 2026, and that the new campaign and the returning $6 Big Box are aimed at reasserting the chain as a value option.

Cheap add-on drinks fit that plan: they lift an average order without touching the price of the chicken. The timing is also against the grain: QSRweb framed the line as an end-of-summer launch, arriving in the same weeks the US chains are switching to pumpkin and apple.
