Flavored cream cheese typically includes options like savory herb, strawberry or salmon and two brands came together to defy convention with a soda-inspired special-edition cream cheese flavor. Poppi's Orange Cream was the inspiration for PopUp Bagels' newest collaboration cream cheese product, which captures the essence of creamsicle in an unexpected new format.
Touted as "the collab you didn’t know you needed until now," Poppi x PopUp Bagels are brining this limited-edition drop to all PopUp Bagels locations for a limited time. Poppi Orange Cream Soda is a genuine ingredient in the cream cheese, along with flavor amplifiers like orange zest concentrate, mandarin orange concentrate and pure vanilla extract for a hint of creamy sweetness.
This offbeat dairy spread, and others by PopUp Bagels, taps into drop culture to build hype and a sense of exclusivity and urgency, enticing consumers to eagerly anticipate and quickly purchase limited-edition releases.
