The snack and beverage aisle at your local grocery store is getting very patriotic.
Coca-Cola is now selling a red, white and blue can in select grocery and convenience stories. They're limited edition and available only through July 4.
But they don't just feature the stars and stripes. Each can also contains song lyrics from the Lee Greenwood classic "Proud To Be An American." Below the song lyric — "I'm proud to be an American" — is a shout out to the USO, which has a longstanding partnership with Coke. The USO is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
Earlier this month, Anheuser-Busch InBev, the company that owns Budweiser beer, said it would start selling bottles and cans that say America on the label. They're now available through the November presidential election.
As Advertising Age magazine points out, the new Coke and Budweiser labels are part of a broader push around patriotism in the snack and beverage aisles.
M&M's has a red, white and blue version.
Skittles is selling an "America Mix" of red, white and blue Skittles.
Hershey changed the silver letters on its milk chocolate bars to red, white and blue.
Keystone Light beer is incorporating patriotic packaging.
Smirnoff is introducing Red, White and Berry vodka.
Between these packages, the Summer Olympics, and the presidential election, it's going to be one patriotic summer.
