[Taco Bell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-strawberry-freeze-beverages) has unveiled a new frozen blended drink inspired by the AIRHEAD flavor known as 'White Mystery' that's taste origin is unknown. The drink, called a Freeze, features the same taste as the candy and the ambiguous nature encourages eaters to try and guess what the flavor is.

The 'White Mystery' AIRHEADS are rumored to be a repacking of one of the other varieties by the brand, but without the packaging that identifies the candy. The Freeze drink continues the enigma by adding the [mystery flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-mystery) to a [blended iced drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-beverages) called the White Mystery AIRHEAD Freeze that has the same white coloring. Eaters are encouraged to try and guess what the taste is while experiencing the candy in a fun, new format that is suited to the summer and fall seasons.
