The NO CAP! x ICEE Soda Pop has been created in partnership between the two brands as a convenient take on the classic frozen refreshments from ICEE.
The drinks feature the recognizable flavors of ICEE frozen beverages and have no sugar, calories or caffeine in the mix, while also offering electrolytes to give them a better-for-you enhancement. The drinks will come in 16-ounce cans alongside 7.5-ounce mini variety packs, which will start hitting store shelves in the US starting in January 2026.
Co-Founder of NO CAP! Soda Pop Vinny Wilson spoke on the NO CAP! x ICEE Soda Pop collaboration saying, "NO CAP! is about rewriting what soda can be. ICEE is an icon everyone has a memory with, so bringing those flavors into the modern, zero-sugar era is a dream collab. It's proof that fun, nostalgia, and better-for-you can actually live together in one can."
