Crush is launching a new limited-edition soda set to hit nostalgia among 90s kids. The release follows the brand’s earlier retro-themed product drops. The drink is expected to arrive in stores in July and will be available for a limited time.
Crush is Releasing a Nostalgic New Limited-Edition Soda
The popular soda brand Crush is soon to release a new soda called Back to the 90s Big Troppa Punch. The drink is part of the brand’s retro-themed lineup and is expected to launch in July as a limited-time offering. The drink is inspired by the tropical fruit punch flavors that were popular in the 1990s.
According to Allrecipes, the soda will feature a bold fruit punch profile with strawberry and pineapple notes. The can sports a neon, graffiti-like design in classic ’90s teal that reflects the bold aesthetics of the decade. Big Troppa Punch is a new creation, not a revival, and is loosely inspired by a rare earlier Crush Sparkling Tropical Punch.
Instagram user Snackolator also shares insight on the new drink. According to the Instagram post, the new drink will be available in both cans and bottles and will be a regular sugar release.

The Strategy Behind the ‘Back to the (Era)’ Series
Nostalgia is a trend that has influenced the food and beverage industry in many instances. Brands are seen riding this trend more often in recent years, giving consumers a sense of familiarity and comfort. Crush, too, is riding this trend, but it is elevating the effect with a simple strategy.
The release follows Crush’s earlier retro-themed product, back to the 80s Electric Blue Razz. In this series, the brand highlights a different decade with each limited-time product. This is creating excitement among consumers seeking nostalgia and those who are driven by curiosity.
The new soda, once again, shows how nostalgia continues to influence the industry. The combination of nostalgia and new product innovation continues to resonate with both longtime fans and younger consumers.
