To mark the 20th anniversary of Mean Girls, Paramount Consumer Products teamed up with Ocean Spray to launch Mean Girls x Ocean Spray Zero Sugar Cranberry and Mixed Berry Juice Drinks.
Regina George mentions cranberry juice in the cult classic film but does not see the results she wanted from the "South Beach Fat Flush" since her cocktail was high in sugar. Ocean Spray Zero Sugar Juice Drinks is free from sugar and artificial sweeteners, speaking to consumers today who are similarly looking to avoid drinking excess sugar.
To celebrate Mean Girls' milestone anniversary and the Mean Girls x Ocean Spray Zero Sugar Juice Drink Cranberry and Mixed Berry flavors, Ocean Spray teamed up with Rajiv Surendra—known for his role as Kevin G—to create a bold, refreshing "Zero Sugars Given" rap.
