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.
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.
What the fuck is “fruit essence”?
Fruit oil, essentially. Adds fruit flavour without adding the actual fruit or any calories. https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/d1fncd/eli5_how_is_fruit_flavor_essence_captured_if_soda/
