AriZona Beverages is expanding beyond the beverage aisle with AriZona Ice Pops coming soon to the frozen section. These refreshing sweet treats are set to launch in 2024, introducing fans to the brand's best juice flavors in the form of ice pops. The Mucho Mango, Watermelon, and Fruit Punch AriZona Ice Pops take a page from the brand's beverages and use only natural ingredients and no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.
"We revolutionized the beverage space when we launched the $0.99 can 30 years ago," said Don Vultaggio, Founder and Chairman of Arizona Beverage Company, Similarly, we want to revolutionize the frozen novelty space. When we looked at frozen novelties, we saw how most products cost over $5.00 a box and still use some combination of artificial flavors, artificial colors and/or artificial sweeteners."
