Our lineup of nostalgic flavors is carefully crafted to transport you back to those golden days while giving you a modern twist with our THC-infused sodas. Each sip of Flying Cloud is designed to evoke a sense of warmth, familiarity, and pure joy. So, let’s dive into the fun facts behind our eight iconic flavors and why they hold a special place in our hearts.

Orange Dream: A Creamy Citrus Classic

Flying Cloud’s Orange Dream is a nod to the classic orange creamsicle, the ultimate summer treat. If you ever chased down an ice cream truck as a kid or pulled one of those frosty, orange-and-vanilla bars from your freezer on a hot day, you’ll instantly recognize the smooth, citrusy taste. The creamy vanilla finish makes it more than just an orange soda, it’s a dreamy blast from the past. Fun fact: The creamsicle was first created in 1905 by an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson who accidentally left a cup of soda with a stirring stick outside in the cold. Talk about a happy accident!

Merry Berry: A Burst of Joy

Flying Cloud’s Merry Berry is inspired by the classic Strawberry flavors we all loved at birthday parties and summer picnics. It was the iconic juice pouches we took on field trips, berry flavors have always been a childhood favorite. We crafted Merry Berry to give you that same sweet, tangy goodness with a hint of nostalgia in every sip. Plus, berries have long been a symbol of happiness and celebration, fitting for a drink designed to put a smile on your face!

Grape Bomb: An Explosion of Nostalgia

Nothing says childhood like a bold purple, grape-flavored drink, and Flying Cloud’s Grape Bomb delivers that experience with a bang. Inspired by grape sodas, chewy candies, and freezer pops that turned our tongues purple, this bold flavor is all about fun. Grape-flavored drinks have been around since the early 1900s, but they truly became a pop culture staple in the ‘70s and ‘80s. We wanted to capture that same over-the-top grape flavor that made every sip an adventure.

Euphoric Cola: The Soda Fountain Throwback

Flying Cloud’s Euphoric Cola is a tribute to the good old-fashioned soda fountains and classic colas that have been a part of American culture for generations. Whether you remember sipping cola at the diner with a plate of fries or cracking open a cold one at a baseball game, this flavor is designed to take you back. Early colas were originally marketed as medicinal tonics, but they quickly became the go-to refreshment for people of all ages. With a rich, caramel-like taste and a hint of spice, Euphoric Cola brings back that vintage cola experience in every sip.

Arnie Calmer Tea: A Relaxed Twist on a Classic

Inspired by the legendary combination of iced tea and lemonade, Flying Cloud’s Arnie Calmer Tea-HC is our laid-back take on this timeless drink. Named in homage to the classic “Arnold Palmer,” this flavor is the perfect balance of smooth tea and tangy lemonade, just like the ones we enjoyed on long summer days. Whether it was at a backyard barbecue, a golf course, or a family picnic, this iconic duo has been a staple of refreshment for decades. Fun fact: Arnold Palmer himself popularized the drink in the 1960s, and it’s been a favorite ever since!

Huckleberry Lemonade: A Wild Twist on a Favorite

Huckleberries are nature’s little gems, and Flying Cloud’s Huckleberry Lemonade brings their sweet-tart magic to life. If you’ve ever picked berries in the wild or enjoyed homemade berry lemonade, this flavor will take you right back to those moments. Huckleberries have a long history of being used in jams, pies, and syrups, and they grow wild in the forests of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Their unique taste pairs perfectly with the zesty lemonade, creating a drink that’s both refreshing and reminiscent of childhood summers spent outdoors.

Strawberry Lemonade: The Ultimate Summer Flavor

Few things scream summer quite like a cold glass of Strawberry Lemonade, and Flying Cloud’s version is a tribute to every lemonade stand and backyard gathering we loved as kids. This flavor balances the juicy sweetness of strawberries with the tart kick of lemonade, creating a classic combination that has stood the test of time. Did you know that strawberries have been enjoyed since ancient Roman times? They were even believed to have medicinal properties. Whether you were the kid selling lemonade or the one eagerly dropping quarters in the jar, this flavor will take you back.

Lemonade: A Timeless Classic

Last but not least, Flying Cloud’s Lemonade is as classic as it gets. With its perfect blend of sweetness and citrusy tang, this flavor is inspired by the simple joy of a fresh-squeezed lemonade on a hot day. Whether it was from a paper cup at the county fair or homemade with a wooden spoon in a giant pitcher, lemonade has been a staple of refreshment for generations. It’s one of those drinks that never goes out of style, and Flying Cloud’s version stays true to its roots while delivering a modern twist.
