Poppi is joining forces with the über-popular reality series "Love Island USA" to kick off summer in the best way possible: with a limited-edition Punch Pop x "Love Island USA" can.
While each sip of the soda tastes like summer, the most exciting part about the limited-edition drink might be the can. It features the iconic "Love Island" heart and palm trees in vibrant, multicolored shades fit for a summer of love.
Punch Popfirst emerged on the scene last year for a limited time, and is back just in time for warm days and long nights watching the new "Love Island USA" season. And you don't have to be an "Islander" to enjoy the fruit punch flavors with notes of apple, orange, lemon, and cherry juice.

The soda was an instant hit and sold out twice in under 24 hours, prompting Poppi torerelease the popular pop in Januaryfor a limited time.
