Blackberries are often viewed as a summer berry, and even though Spring has just arrived, we are already dreaming about Summer and these delicious fruits. KFC is also planning ahead and getting people in the mood for sunshine and longer days.
Blackberries are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but these little fruits typically grow on thorny bushes which can make them hard to harvest. You can skip all that this year and get your blackberry fix at KFC, instead.
Content creator @snackolator shared the news on his Instagram and TikTok accounts, and people are ready to grab one of these five new drinks from the fast-food chicken joint to enjoy with the new menu items the restaurant has also released.
“Oh KFC just changed the fast food fountain drink game by giving you the option to add their Blackberry flavor to everything!” snackolator posted on Instagram and we were immediately hooked.
Blackberry Drinks For Days
Snackolator says that when KFC released the Chizza- pizza-topped fried chicken- they also brought back their wildly popular Blackberry Lemonade. They didn’t stop there, though. They also added the option to add their blackberry syrup to just about any drink, and they have added the Blackberry Starry, Blackberry Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning, Blackberry Pepsi, and Blackberry Iced Tea to the menu.
The Blackberry Starry is made with the company’s blackberry syrup and Starry soda. Starry is a lemon-lime soft drink distributed by PepsiCo. It was released in January 2023 to compete with Sprite and 7-Up, and it replaced Sierra Mist as Pepsi’s lemon-lime flavored drink.
Blackberry Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning is the syrup in Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning, which is a sweet peach and smooth honey-flavored Mountain Dew. The two combined make a blackberry, peach, and honey-flavored soda.
The Blackberry Pepsi and Blackberry Iced Tea are blackberry syrup added to regular Pepsi and regular sweet Iced Tea, similar to how Sonic Drive-Thru does flavored drinks.
People Are Excited for These Drinks
People immediately jumped on this news.
“Dude a Blackberry sweet lightning sounds bomb,” one person said on snackolator’s Instagram post.
“Blackberry sweet tea sounds amazing,” another said. We agree! It sounds like the perfect drink for summer.
“That’s awesome that the blackberry syrup can be added to any drink. A blackberry Arnold Palmer would be spectacular,” another added. We think so, too, and we’d love to experiment with the syrup in different drinks to find the perfect flavor for warmer weather.
