Pairs of one-size-fits-most Twangy Chapz were inspired by Floribama, and feature built-in side saddles that hold up to six Tropic Tang BuzzBallz, a dedicated place to stash mini drink umbrellas, and large, vibrantly colored boxer shorts to complete the look. On Instagram, fans age 21 and up can enter to win one of 34 Twangy Chapz through a contest from BuzzBallz by sharing their twangy alter ego name, like "The Citrus Sheriff," "Tang Wrangler," or "Beachside Bandit." Although only a select few winners will get their hands on this branded accessory, bold, zesty Tropic Tang will be widely available through nationwide retailers and online channels.
