Sprite Cranberry

...and there isn't going to be any more production. They seriously underestimated the popularity of this. I may have to scrounge around for a 12 pack or two so I can savor it for a little while longer.

I always wonder why they don't promote these LTO flavors anymore. A lot of people don't even know they exist, expect for Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash because that's been coming back for several years now. I really liked the Pomegranate 7up they did one year. I will have to go buy a 12 pack of Sprite Cranberry soon before it runs out.

7-Eleven has Sprite Cranberry Slurpees.

Turns out I was misinformed, we received a second shipment of cans not long after I wrote that message. And we got more Sprite Zero Cranberry 2Ls in. I stocked up on cans when Shoprite had them 4/$11.

Coming back around for a second year. The Sprite Facebook page has it already launched, but we aren't getting it until next week. Seagram's Raspberry will also be returning after being mostly absent last year. Though I wish we were doing 12 pack cans of it, it is going to be just 2 liters as usual.

^ Seagram's Raspberry? Is that Ginger Ale? I've never seen that before? Is that going to be national like Sprite Cranberry or just in select regions?

[fusion]

Yep. Raspberry ginger ale. In the markets where we always had Seagram's, we would do raspberry for the holidays. But then last year it disappeared because they wanted to focus on Sprite Cranberry. I am not sure if is is a nationwide release or still just regional.

Schweppes also has/had a raspberry ginger ale.

But the one I miss the most is the lemon ginger ale from Canada Dry. It was very limited, only in the mid-atlantic.

^ You get all the cool Canada Dry flavors there.

Tried this last year, nothing special, Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash is better.

Yeah, the company that owns the Canada Dry franchises in NYC/NJ/Philadelphia/Delaware/Maryland/Northern VA+Richmond does some interesting stuff. They have a lower priced brand mostly in Maryland called Rock Creek, a Philadelphia brand called Frank's, plus the various Canada Dry fruit flavors. They all used to have their own unique labels, but they switched to a single color label a few years back when the ginger ale labels were refreshed. They also own Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer and produce the Jolly Rancher sodas. They also own Pepsi franchises in southern New Jersey and the NYC metro area.
