For the past year, the supplement company Ghost has been working on a special project with the fast food brand [Sonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-sugar-drink-mixes). After a lot of trial and error, the brands have debuted a pre-workout mix that tastes just like Sonic's iconic Cherry Limeade drink. According to Ghost, the mixture contains a blend of L-Citrulline, L-Citrulline, Alpha-GPC, and other supplements to power you through your next workout and provide the best "pump." While the partnership between a fast food company and a supplement brand may seem unusual, the Cherry Limeade-flavored pre-workout mix suggests that supplement companies like Ghost are looking for clever ways to introduce young consumers to protein powders and other supplements.
