The White Castle Mechanized Mix soda has been announced by the QSR brand as part of its new promotion with Marvel Television's upcoming Ironheart series that's slated to debut on Disney+ on June 24, 2025.
The soda is being offered through the brand's Coca-Cola Freestyle machines and boasts a distinct taste profile that sets it apart from the other combinations available. The brand will also be offering Craver Nation Rewards members with $2 off their next mobile order when they pick up the soda. Finally, White Castle will also be donating a portion of sales from the Mechanized Mix or any other drink from the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine to the nonprofit organization Girls Who Code.
Vice President Jamie Richardson spoke on the White Castle Mechanized Mix soda saying, "This collaboration with Marvel Television’s ‘Ironheart’ is a perfect match for White Castle. Just as Riri Williams follows her Crave while taking on the world as Ironheart, our Cravers are everyday heroes who bring passion and joy to everything they do. We’re excited to offer them a taste of ‘Ironheart’ with the new ‘Mechanized Mix’ and even more reasons to celebrate through Craver Nation Rewards.”
