The first flavors to hit the shelves will be Black Cherry, Birch Beer, Cream, Big Blue, Ginger Ale, Sarsaparilla, Orange, Root Beer, Grapefruit, and Diet Cream.Based on overwhelming fan support for the iconic soda brand, Jaindl Companies launched a Flavor Poll to allow fans to decide which soda flavor would be added to the initial production order.\u00a0The poll was meant to serve as a way of saying &#8220;thank you&#8221; to the thousands of fans who had taken to social media to express their desire for A-Treat&#8217;s return.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the poll&#8217;s popularity, two flavors were chosen.\u00a0Orange Cream was initially a flavor produced by A-Treat under a custom label and included on the list to gauge customer interest. Orange Cream won the campaign outright with a surprising 17% of votes. The formula is now scheduled for immediate production, and creation of the new label and packaging is currently underway.\u00a0Black Cherry topped the poll as a top five flavor not already slated for first-run production with 8% of votes, therefore earning a new slot on the order.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A-Treat has long been a staple of Jaindl family events, so I am thrilled to be part of its return.
