Arizona Beverages, the iconic canned tea brand, has unveiled a new Chocolate Egg Cream Soda. Featuring the brand's iconic teablend and a swirl of milk, this new beverage draws comparisons to dirty soda thanks to its rich and frothy flavor profile. Notably, a portion of proceeds will go to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which provides mortgage-free homes to families of first responders and military personnel who were killed during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, while also supporting injured veterans and first responders.
"Tunnel to Towers represents everything we love about this country: courage, sacrifice, and community," said Don Vultaggio, founder of Arizona Beverages. "We feel a deep responsibility to honor the men and women who protect [this country]. This collaboration is our way of showing gratitude and support for the families of our heroes."
