熱狗形雪泥冰棒

Tropical Smoothie Cafe, a national fast-casual restaurant chain known for its better-for-you food and smoothies, is celebrating the Fourth of July by introducing a playful frozen confection called the Smoothie Dog. This hot-dog-shaped popsicle is inspired by the brand's popular Bahama Mama smoothies.

The Smoothie Dog is topped with strawberry syrup, pineapple syrup, and muddled kiwi to mimic classic condiments. To launch this novelty item, Tropical Smoothie Cafe is partnering with the Loco Beach Coconuts, a Banana Ball team, to host an inaugural Smoothie Dog eating contest at VyStar Ballpark in Jacksonville, Florida. At the event, players will compete to consume the most of these tropical treats, with the winner receiving a year's supply of free smoothies. This activation is part of a broader summer collaboration that also includes a limited-time Loco Beach Colada smoothie available nationwide through October, in-game giveaways of co-branded leis with promotional codes, exclusive merchandise, and other beach-themed fan experiences.
