Celebrate National Creamsicle Day with 5-hour ENERGY’s OrangeSicle flavor!
By 5-hour ENERGY
There’s something about the classic orange-and-vanilla Creamsicle that instantly brings summer to mind. On August 14, celebrate National Creamsicle Day and indulge in the nostalgic flavor combination with a 5-hour ENERGY twist.
The Creamsicle has been a summertime favorite for generations. As covered in Tasting Table, the story goes that an 11-year old kid “left a wooden stick in a cup of soda outside on a cold northern California day. The next morning, he discovered that the soda in his cup had frozen, but he plucked it out using the stick and ate it like a popsicle. At first, Frank Epperson just shared his discovery with enthusiastic neighborhood kids, but he later sold them on the West Coast.” In 1923, he filed a patent for his Episicles, and they became the mother treat from which Creamsicles were later born.”
The result? A sweet, citrusy treat that became a warm-weather classic.
This summer, you can enjoy that familiar orange-and-vanilla flavor combination in a whole new way with 5-hour ENERGY’s OrangeSicle energy shot flavor. Inspired by the classic Creamsicle, OrangeSicle starts with bright, juicy orange and finishes with smooth vanilla for a flavor that's sweet, citrusy and reminiscent of summer days spent chasing down the ice cream truck.
