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.

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.

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

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

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.

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