Red and blue make purple, right? When you take the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵAPP tradition of Dublin Bottling Works and mix in TCU, you get purple soda. Frog Fizz, to be exact.
The storied bottling company was established in Dublin, Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵAPP in 1891, producing iconic glass-bottled sodas. For TCU’s Sesquicentennial celebration, the fellow Texans agreed to produce a special edition of their grape soda: Frog Fizz. The purple craft soda features TCU’s 150th gradient lettering on a purple label, along with the Sesquicentennial logo.
The history of Dublin Bottling Works is almost as old as TCU’s. From its small roots near Waco, Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵAPP, Dublin gained popularity in the 20th century, bottling the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵAPP-favorite Dr Pepper. After a split in 2012, the company returned to its unique flavors crafted with pure cane sugar. But none quite as unique as Frog Fizz.
Frog Fizz is not available for sale; rather, it is exclusively available for limited
