7-Eleven plans to sell hot dog-flavored sparkling water

The retailer has teamed up with beverage brand Miracle Seltzer to create a lineup of sparkling waters in four different flavors: lemon lime, green apple, sweet orange and hot dog.

7-Eleven says the hot dog flavor is a twist on one of its most beloved snacks, the Big Bite Hot Dog.

According to a news release, the Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water is a liquified version of the iconic snack – ketchup and mustard flavors included.

Joep,

did 7-Eleven steal from Limp Bizkit?!

Joep,

Chocolate Starfish and Hotdog Flavored Water was one of their later, shitty CDs. Had to clarify bc i figured this was a reach of a reference.

thefool,

Put an actual hot dog in it and maybe they can sell it for $30 each

moitoi,

This is a good remember that “flavored sparkling water” is actual a diet soda.

When I hear “diet soda”, I think of drinks that have artificial sweeteners in them. Some flavoured sparking waters (like La Croix and its copycats) are just carbonated water and fruit essence with no sweeteners added.

KISSmyOS,

What the fuck is “fruit essence”?

Fruit oil, essentially. Adds fruit flavour without adding the actual fruit or any calories. reddit.com/…/eli5_how_is_fruit_flavor_essence_cap…

reverendsteveii,

Putting out a product that’s offensively bad in a limited run, selling a bunch of it real quick for the novelty value and then discontinuing it is a pretty tried and true strategy. We’re here talking about it right now, and a certain percentage of us are gonna hear about it and think “That’s so terrible that I have to try it just so I know how terrible it is.” If you can accurately gauge the number of people who are willing to buy something bad just to have a novel experience you can make money selling glizzygulps.

ItsAFake,

Fuck me that’s gotta fucking taste like fuck, fucking dumb fuck company with dumb fuck ideas fucking making dumb fuck money with this dumb fuck product.

NaoPb,

I’m wondering if they are expecting to throw their product right into the trash.

I expect to see it used in weird cooking and reaction videos, giving 7-11 free advertising.

Kusimulkku,

Would

words_number,

Somehow, the “sparkling” part makes it even more gross xD

A chocolate starfish would be the perfect pairing dish to this drink I’d say!

TheRealLinga,

I for one am ecstatic that April fools jokes/pranks seem to be coming back into fashion, the last few years have been practically devoid of anything fun happening around this time of the year.

Announcing an April Fool’s prank before the actual day is BS.

Emperor,

According to the rules, it makes them the fool.

AtmaJnana,

This is obviously an attempt at a viral marketing campaign and lemmy is falling for it.

dmention7,

And…?

OfficerBribe,

Falling for what and who is Lemmy? Hot dog flavored water was announced which is not something you hear about every day, obviously people will talk about it.

ItsAFake,

I’m just happy I get to make a limp bizkit joke.
