Internet Reacts to New Hot Dog Flavored Sparkling Water
Hot dog
The internet is a bit confused about a new product announced by 7-Eleven, as the chain's Big Bite brand is teaming up with Miracle Seltzer to release a Hot Dog Sparkling Water, based on the popular food item.
7-Eleven announced the new product on Wednesday, March 27, in a press release, with Marissa Jarratt, 7-Eleven, Inc. Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer, saying, "We’re excited for customers to embark on this flavor adventure and experience their favorite snack in a whole new form."
The new flavor is set to join a line of other innovative variations from Miracle Seltzer including Lemon Lime, Green Apple and Sweet Orange. More details will be shared on April 1.
Food influencer Sodaseekers on Instagram also shared the news, and people had some strong reactions to the new seltzer.
"Jail," read one response, as someone else said, "This better be an April Fools joke."
A third replied, "They’re literally selling hot dog water now ?????♂?," while someone joked that the seltzer would take "hot dog burps to the next level."
One particularly energetic reply read: "YES!!!!! ALL THESE DECADES I'VE ASKED WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE HOT DOG WATER?! IT'S FINALLY COMING TRUE MY DREAMS ????????."
While many more questioned whether or not it was an April Fool's Joke, Sodaseekers noted that Miracle Seltzer previously released a pickle-flavored sparkling water and said that, even if it is a joke, they likely made at least a small amount for promotional release.
If this is the case, the comments also included a bit of good advice from one fan who explained, "Remember everyone, April Fools is just a test day for brands," before encouraging them, "If you really want it, interact with it ??."
Whether or not you're excited about the Hot Dog Sparkling Water or cringing at the news, you'll have to wait until April 1 to get all the details about the unique product.
