AriZona Beverages, known for its 99-cent cans, teamed up with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to create Chocolate Egg Cream Soda, a smooth and nostalgic drink. Although this rich, fudgy chocolate soda has no eggs or cream, this drink named after the frothy white foam that sits atop the carbonated beverage does feature a splash of milk.
While some soda brands are going healthier with their ingredient choices, others are doubling down on bold flavors and indulgence. Either way, fans can appreciate the cause that drives this AriZona x Tunnel to Towers collab. A portion of the proceeds from every can of this chocolate soda that is sold will directly support Tunnel to Towers Foundation in providing mortgage-free homes to the families of America's fallen first responders and Gold Star families, as well as aiding wounded veterans.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- Brands are increasingly partnering with charitable organizations to create special editions of products that donate proceeds, attracting consumers who value social responsibility.
- Retro-inspired Beverages
- Nostalgic flavors and traditional drink recipes are making a comeback as consumers yearn for familiar tastes and experiences from the past.
- Flavor Indulgence Over Health Focus
- Amidst a wave of health-conscious trends, some beverage companies are capitalizing on consumers' cravings for bold and decadent flavors.
Sectors Adopting This
- Non-alcoholic Beverage Industry
- The introduction of inventive and cause-driven drink options is reshaping consumer expectations and diversifying offerings within the non-alcoholic beverage sector.
- Charitable Partnerships
- More businesses are integrating philanthropy into their marketing strategies, encouraging product sales while promoting charitable causes.
- Gourmet Food and Beverage
- Artisan and craft beverages that highlight unique ingredient combinations are tapping into a market of consumers seeking novel and luxurious indulgences.
