Carbonated Soda Milkshakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Burger King Releases a Creamy Dr. Pepper Blended Beverage

— January 30, 2016 — Lifestyle
Fast Food eatery Burger King has increased its drink options with the addition of a carbonated soda milkshake to its menu. The drink features the classic pop Dr. Pepper mixed in with creamy ice cream to create an unconventional blend of sweet and tart flavors.

The soda milkshake is a spin on the iconic root beer float concept, where a dollop of vanilla ice cream is added to the bitter pop. The Dr. Pepper milkshake takes the beverage concept to the next level by pre-mixing the ice cream and the soda to create a frothy, blended and sweet beverage that has notes of candied cherry and pepper.

In addition the restaurant brand has also added an Oreo Irish Mint Shake to its menu -- just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
Trend Themes
1. Carbonated Soda Milkshakes - Adding carbonated soda to milkshakes creates a unique blend of sweet and tart flavors, offering a playful twist on traditional milkshakes.
2. Pre-mixed Beverage Blends - Pre-mixing ice cream and soda to create blended beverages introduces convenience and consistent flavors, providing an opportunity for innovation in the beverage industry.
3. Seasonal Special Shake - Introducing seasonal flavors, such as the Oreo Irish Mint Shake for St. Patrick's Day, allows for limited-time offerings that capitalize on seasonal celebrations and create excitement among customers.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - Incorporating carbonated soda milkshakes in fast food menus presents an opportunity for restaurants to offer unique and differentiated beverage options that appeal to customers seeking novel experiences.
2. Beverage - The trend of pre-mixed beverage blends opens up opportunities for beverage companies to experiment with different flavor combinations and introduce innovative products that cater to changing consumer preferences.
3. Seasonal Food and Drinks - The introduction of seasonal special shakes like the Oreo Irish Mint Shake capitalizes on seasonal demand and creates a sense of exclusivity, providing a marketing advantage for restaurants and beverage brands.
