Summer drink flavors have begun, and Walmart has the latest offering from Coca-Cola Company. The new Mango Citrus Sprite mixes sweet with citrus notes, giving it a refreshing vibe.

Walmart is the only place you'll find the new flavor

There's no need to look around in store after store because Walmart is the exclusive retailer of the new flavor.

“Sprite Chill just dropped a new MANGO CITRUS flavor at Walmart and it’s starting to arrive in stores now," according to a post on the Snackolator Instagram page. "This is a sequel to last year’s Strawberry Kiwi flavor and is available in 20oz bottles (full sugar only) and 12packs (regular and* zero sugar)."

Coca-Cola is counting on it being a big hit

You gotta give it to Coca-Cola, they know how to market their products. When they launch a new product, they create buzz and a sense of FOMO right out of the gate.

Sometimes limited-edition flavors can be such a hit that they get brought back or even become permanent. Only time will tell if Sprite Chill Mango Citrus will go that way.

An effort to appeal to different taste preferences

The drive behind the new bold flavor is to appeal to different taste buds. Not everyone wants the standard soda flavors.

Bringing something new and fresh to the beverage market can be risky, but also smart. It's a crowded industry, and Coca-Cola is looking for ways to stand out.

Coca-Cola says the new flavor will have a lighter taste. This is ideal if you're craving something less sweet and soda-forward.

It's available now

If you want to get your hands on the new flavor, you can check out Walmart now. There's no word on how long it will be available, so you're wise to grab it when you find it.
