I actually thought this story came from 'The Onion' at first but it's actually real. 7-Eleven has issued a press release announcing the arrival of New Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water.
Full Company Statement:
This savory release joins the new lineup of 7-SelectTMÂ sparkling waters developed in collaboration with Miracle Seltzer
IRVING, TX (March 27, 2024) â 7-Eleven, Inc., the worldâs largest convenience retailer, today announced a collection of new 7-SelectTM sparkling waters in a variety of bold and cutting-edge flavors. The retailer teamed up with art-inspired beverage brand Miracle Seltzer to create a lineup of sparkling waters with flavors including: Lemon Lime, Green Apple, Sweet Orange and Hot Dog, a twist on one of 7-Elevenâs most beloved snacks, the Big BiteÂŽ Hot Dog.
The Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water combines the delicious and mouthwatering experience of 7-Elevenâs iconic Big Bite Hot Dog into one refreshing beverage â ketchup and mustard included. Gone are the days of alternating bites of a hot dog with sips of a beverage, now those on the go can swap the bun for bubbles.
âWhile crafting flavors like Lemon Lime and Sweet Orange came more easily, our journey took an unexpected turn with the creation of Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water â a daring flavor that pushes the boundaries of flavor innovation,â said Marissa Jarratt, 7-Eleven, Inc. Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer.
