Most people replenish their electrolytes through sports drinks, coconut water or powders stirred into water, and this summer, Cole Palmer and Gopuff announced the launch of COLE’D, the first and only electrolyte ice cubes of their kind. COLE'D Premium Ice isn't just cooling, it's a practical way to replenish, inspired by Palmer’s signature “cold” celebration.
COLE'D Pebble Ice with Electrolytes is a Gopuff exclusive that pairs purified water with Aquasea, which shares concentrated ocean minerals essential for health. The launch also includes shapely COLE'D Soccer Ball Craft Ice (made with water) and COLE'D Traditional Ice Cubes, crafted from purified water.
With COLE'D Premium Ice, Gopuff is continuing to establish partnerships with leading athletes and creators, as it did with Good Nut and GOAT Gummies with Tom Brady.
