The rumor was also mentioned on Reddit, where one user said his “well-placed source” claimed that the change would happen soon.

“Good news for my Coca-Cola (Diet Coke) connoisseurs. My well-informed source said ‘early 2025,'” the post reads.

Some people reiterated in the comments on Reddit that the rumor was true, although there was no official word from the camp yet. The Postal Service has reached out to Costco for confirmation.

Instagram user Ryan Quinlan, creator of the popular account @butthatsmyopinion, claimed in a video that Costco will end its partnership with Pepsi in the new year.

People in the comments had mixed reactions and brought up the great Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola debate.

As Costco Insider pointed out, the warehouse store originally switched to Pepsi in 2013 to save costs and keep the hot dog and soda combo at $1.50.

Costco and Coca-Cola entered a standoff in 2009 when the retailer pulled all Coca-Cola products from the market for a month. The brand eventually lowered its prices, allowing the switch back, the account said.

“Coke’s focus on machine quality and partnership with Costco will likely drive change.”

This isn’t the only change Costco made to end the year.

Earlier this month, a shopper saw a sign at his local store detailing the changes to Costco muffins.

The bakery is switching to smaller muffins and no longer offering mix-and-match muffins. Instead of mixing and matching two 35-ounce, six-packs of the larger muffins for $9.99, warehouse stores sell a 31-ounce, eight-pack of a custom flavor for $6.99.

Additionally, Costco plans to stop selling books in most of its U.S. stores early this year.

In January, Costco will remove the store’s popular book section from most of its more than 600 stores.
