It is a frozen drink made to honor their 1992 album 'Kerplunk!' It also playfully nods to their love of cotton candy grapes, which is noted to be a staple as a backstage snack. This is a perfectly sweet and sour swirl of grape and cotton candy flavors. The punk rock band and the franchise have also worked together in the past for a [Punk Bunny Coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-day-x-keurig-kiced-plus-brewer) launch. The iced drink will also be launching alongside a limited range of merchandise. This includes collectible cups and straws, which also work as Bluetooth speakers. Each cup has a QR code that links to a Spotify playlist curated by the band.
