Little Hug Fruit Barrels' Drinks Come in Portable, Freezable Pockets

The HUG Fruit Slushee is a new addition to the products sold through the Little Hug Fruit Barrels brand from the American Beverage Corporation, offering a fun and refreshing fruit drink for kids to enjoy this summer.

The chilled slush drinks come in Blue Raspberry and Strawberry, which are naturally flavored and made with 5% real fruit juice. Like an ice pop snack, the fruit slush drinks are packaged in eight ounce pouches that can easily be put in the freezer for chilling.
