These Waterloo Sparkling Water flavors have been announced as a limited-edition range of refreshments headed to the market to coincide with the US Semiquincentennial that will deliver American cuisine-inspired flavor.
The drinks were developed through a collaboration with Guy Fieri's Flavortown and come in three varieties including Apple Pie a la Mode, Coconut Lime Cooler and Root Beer Float. Each sparkling water flavor mimics a food-inspired taste experience and boasts a zero-calorie formulation for guilt-free enjoyment.
The Waterloo Sparkling Water flavors are a limited time offering arriving now at retailers ahead of America 250 celebrations. The drinks boast special edition branding that puts the Flavortown aesthetic in the spotlight alongside classic Americana imagery to further reinforce the honorary nature of the refreshments.
