ICEE(R) and Coca-Cola(R) Celebrate 50 Years of Fri
Post# of 617763
ONTARIO, CA --(Marketwired - June 08, 2017) - Moviegoers, theme park connoisseurs and adventurous road trippers have been making memories with ICEE by their side for 50 years. Despite ICEE launching more than 150 flavors since 1967, Coca-Cola has remained a top flavor for five decades. To commemorate this long-term partnership, ICEE is offering retailers the opportunity to merchandise the product with special point-of-sale displays highlighting 50 years of friendship.
"It's an exciting year for ICEE as we celebrate 50 years as America's favorite frozen beverage and we're thrilled to have had Coca-Cola by our side for all this time," said Dan Fachner, president of The ICEE Company. "There are not many days that go by where we don't hear someone say their favorite ICEE flavor is Coca-Cola and we suspect it will remain one of our top sellers for years to come."
The ICEE Company will also debut various new flavors, including Fanta Sour Grape ® , which is available for Coca-Cola pouring retailers. Consumers can enhance their ICEE experience all year long by using limited-edition packaging and golden spoonstraws -- a fun twist on an ICEE staple.
"Congratulations to The ICEE Company on this important milestone," said Dan Manning, region vice president at Coca Cola. "We are incredibly excited to build on our long-term partnership to inspire and refresh ICEE customers through unique, value-added programs."
