Taco Bell recently launched a limited-edition Watermelon Freeze to help consumers cool off in the summer in a fun way. While there are plenty of watermelon beverages that have been launched over time, especially over the past few years, this new slushie from Taco Bell sets itself apart for its incredible likeness to the pink melon.
The pink-colored Waterlemon Freeze is filled with a handful of small black candies that help to imitate the look of real watermelon seeds, except that they can be enjoyed rather than avoided while sipping the drink.
For many people, the crisp and refreshing taste of watermelon makes it a summer staple. The natural sweetness, bright color and hydrating benefits of watermelon also make it an attractive addition to beverage menus and packaged beverage collections.
