The beer is brewed by Stone Brewing, the Southern California-based brewery that has been trailblazing the craft beer category with a fierce commitment to quality and freshness for 27 years.

Stone Fight On! Pale Ale will be distributed throughout Southern California at stores, bars, and restaurants and onsite at the Los Angeles Coliseum and the Galen Center, home of the USC Trojans. Its 16oz cans feature classic USC iconography and colors. Inside, the beer is a quintessential SoCal Pale Ale – a balanced blend of tropical and citrusy hop flavors, light-body and endlessly drinkable at 5.5% ABV. Stone’s brewers developed the beer to offer that hoppiness Southern Californians crave in a style that suits tailgates, beach days, and cheering from the stands or at home.

“USC Athletics has been seeking the perfect beer partner – a regional brand that would be meaningful to our fans and add to the gameday experience,” explained Drew DeHart, Vice President/General Manager, USC Sports Properties and Playfly Sports. “Stone really nailed a Pale Ale that’s representative of the SoCal craft beer scene, and easy drinking too. We’re honored to see our USC colors, marks and Trojan alongside the Stone Gargoyle.”

“Stone beers are popular nationwide and across the globe, but SoCal is where we started and is home to our biggest population of fans,” explained Erin Smith, Stone Brewing SVP of Marketing. “We’re thrilled at the opportunity to create a beer that instills local pride in that cross-section of craft beer drinkers and USC fans and alumni. It’s our hope that this beer is enjoyed year-round for its incredible flavor, and that it truly adds to the gameday experience across all USC sports.”

f’real and Good Humor Launch Orange Creamsicle Milkshake for Spring

f’real and Good Humor have launched a limited-edition Orange Creamsicle Milkshake for spring, bringing a nostalgic frozen flavor to stores, campuses, and theaters nationwide.

Limited-edition frozen drink brings the classic Creamsicle flavor back in a blend-it-yourself format at convenience stores, campuses, and theaters nationwide

Fans of nostalgic frozen treats have a new option this spring. f’real and Good Humor have teamed up to launch a limited-edition Orange Creamsicle Milkshake, a frozen drink inspired by the classic Good Humor Creamsicle Bar.

Available for a limited time, the new f’real Orange Creamsicle Milkshake blends orange and vanilla cream flavors into a sippable frozen drink made with real milk. The concept is simple: take a familiar warm-weather favorite and turn it into a quick, customizable treat for people on the go.

A Familiar Flavor, Reworked for Convenience

The product leans on a flavor combination many consumers already know well. Orange and vanilla have long been tied to the Creamsicle name, and that built-in recognition gives the launch an advantage in a crowded frozen novelty market.

Instead of offering another traditional frozen bar, the companies are betting on format. The milkshake uses f’real’s self-serve blending system, which lets customers grab a cup from the freezer, remove the lid, and blend it in-store in under a minute. Three thickness settings add a level of customization that fits with current demand for quick, personalized snack options.

Where to Find the Orange Creamsicle Milkshake

The Orange Creamsicle Milkshake is now available at retail locations nationwide, including convenience stores, college campuses, and movie theaters. Participating retailers include Kwik Trip, Sheetz, Circle K, Yesway, RaceTrac, Weigel’s, and Royal Farms. The suggested retail price for the 12-ounce milkshake is $3.99.

For consumers wondering where to buy the f’real Orange Creamsicle Milkshake, the company says its store locator can help shoppers find a blender nearby.

Why This Release Stands Out

This launch lands at a time when nostalgic flavors continue to show up across food and beverage categories. That does not guarantee success, but it does give brands a ready-made hook with consumers who respond to familiar tastes tied to memory and seasonality.

The partnership also makes sense on a branding level. Good Humor brings a century-old frozen treat identity, while f’real brings a format built around convenience-store traffic, impulse purchases, and quick preparation. Together, they are not reinventing the category so much as repackaging a recognizable flavor in a way that feels current.

For shoppers, the appeal is straightforward: a classic orange-and-vanilla flavor in milkshake form, available for a limited time during spring. Whether that is enough to turn the product into a seasonal hit remains to be seen, but the nostalgia factor gives it a strong starting point.

Red Bull Reveals the New Red Bull® Spring Edition Cherry Sakura

Red Bull has launched the limited-time Spring Edition Cherry Sakura, a seasonal flavor available nationwide in both sugar and sugar-free options. This new variant features a bright profile of cherry, cherry blossom, and a hint of almond. With 80mg of caffeine per 8.4 fl oz can, it aims to capture spring’s vibrant energy.

Red Bull is leaning into spring vibes in a big way.

In a Feb. 23, 2026 announcement out of Santa Monica, the brand revealed Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura—a limited-time flavor designed to match the season’s “let’s get outside” energy. The release is available nationwide now, and it’s coming in two options: with sugar and sugar-free.

What it tastes like

Red Bull describes the new Spring Edition as a layered flavor built for people who want something bright, floral, and a little unexpected.

Here’s the profile the company shared:

  • Cherry
  • Cherry blossom (sakura)
  • A touch of almond flavor

The result sounds like a spring-forward twist—sweet and fruit-led up front, with a floral note and a light, nutty finish.

What to look for on shelves

If you’re scanning the cooler, Red Bull says the Spring Edition Cherry Sakura will be easy to spot.

The cans are packaged in:

  • White-colored 8.4 fl oz and 12 fl oz individual cans
  • Cherry-red lettering accents

Like other seasonal drops, this one is expected to move quickly. Red Bull notes it will be sold at retailers nationwide “while supplies last.”

Same functional ingredients, new seasonal flavor

Red Bull also emphasized that Spring Edition Cherry Sakura contains the same functional ingredients as Red Bull Energy Drink, with the difference being the limited-time taste.

For caffeine context, the company says one 8.4 fl oz can contains 80mg of caffeine, which it compares to about the same amount as a home-brewed cup of coffee.

The bigger picture: Red Bull’s scale keeps growing

Seasonal flavors have become a reliable way for major beverage brands to keep things fresh, and Red Bull’s numbers show why these launches matter.

According to the company, Red Bull Energy Drink is available in 178 countries, and more than 13.9 billion cans were consumed in 2025 alone.

Bottom line

If spring flavors are your thing—or you’re just ready for something new in the energy drink lineup—Red Bull Spring Edition Cherry Sakura is officially in the wild. It’s nationwide, it’s limited, and it’s available with sugar or sugar-free, so you can pick your lane and stock up before it disappears.

Teremana Tequila and Wingstop team up for Fans of Flavor: wing-and-margarita pairings, a pairing generator, and a sweepstakes through Feb. 8.

Teremana Tequila and Wingstop team up for Fans of Flavor: wing-and-margarita pairings, a pairing generator, and a sweepstakes through Feb. 8.

Teremana® Tequila Partners With Wingstop to Celebrate Fans of Flavor This Postseason

Teremana® Tequila is bringing the good energy to game day.

In a new “Fans of Flavor” partnership announced Jan. 9, 2026, the premium tequila brand founded by Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with Wingstop—the global wing brand known for fresh, made-to-order chicken wings, bold flavors, and its iconic housemade ranch—to help fans turn watch parties into full-on flavor celebrations.

The idea is simple: rival teams may split the room, but wings and margaritas are universal.

Wings + Margaritas: A Game Day Pairing Worth Building Around

From now through Feb. 8, fans can explore wing-and-cocktail combinations using the new Fans of Flavor pairing generator, built to match Wingstop’s signature flavors with Teremana margarita recipes.

It’s a fun way to level up the table—where the food, drinks, and people become the main event.

Here are a few standout pairings highlighted in the launch:

  • Wingstop Original Hot wings + Teremana® The People’s Margarita for a tropical twist on a classic heat-forward flavor
  • Wingstop Spicy Korean Q wings + Teremana® Spicy Margarita for heat that builds and keeps the party going
  • Wingstop Garlic Parmesan wings + Teremana® Strawberry Margarita for a fresh, fruity contrast against savory richness

Sweepstakes: Win the Ultimate Game Day Flavor Fest

The partnership also includes a nationwide sweepstakes offering fans a shot at a seriously upgraded watch party.

One grand prize winner will receive the Ultimate Game Day Flavor Fest, featuring:

  • Wingstop gift cards
  • Game day drink funds
  • A 75″ TV
  • Support for a private bartender and party essentials

Plus, 60 additional winners will each receive Teremana drink cash prizes and a Wingstop gift card—an extra nod to the 60th anniversary of football’s biggest game.

Official rules and prize values are available at TeremanaFansofFlavor.com.

“Mana” Meets Flavor: The Point of the Partnership

At its core, this collaboration is built around shared moments—bold taste, good company, and the kind of food-and-drink spread that makes people linger a little longer.

Teremana’s brand philosophy centers on Mana—good energy that brings people together—and the pairing concept fits naturally into how fans already celebrate postseason football.

“Wingstop has always delivered on bold flavor, and that spirit shows up naturally in how people enjoy Teremana on game day,” said Richard Black, CEO of Teremana® Tequila. “The best game day moments don’t happen by accident, they come from good energy, great flavor, and the people you share them with.”
