New AriZona Hot Wheels Teas Are Coming in Hot—But You’ll Only Find Them at 2 Stores

I’ll admit it, I was surprised, too. AriZona Tea and Hot Wheels are working together on a pair of drinks? If you really think about it, this is a match made in heaven: AriZona and Hot Wheels are two universally known brands with devoted fanbases. Both crowds are used to hunting down exclusives at specific retailers, and both crowds are passionate about purchasing their products at the recommended retail price. These two names have a lot in common; a collaboration was inevitable. While this collaboration is only being teased publicly at this time, we’ve got all the details you’ll need.

What are the AriZona Hot Wheels drinks?

We’ll see two AriZona Hot Wheels drinks hit stores in the near future: Watermelon Drift and Rad Berry. Both drinks are AriZona’s existing Black and White Tea blended with fruit flavors. As someone who hasn’t loved the endless swath of AriZona Juice Cocktails, I’m glad this collaboration leans toward what the brand does best.

While the AriZona Hot Wheels launch date isn’t public yet, I do know where you’ll be able to find them. Per AriZona’s website, Watermelon Drift will be exclusive to 7-Eleven, while Rad Berry will be exclusive to Walmart. 7-Eleven has released multiple exclusive AriZona drinks over the past few years, but this is Walmart’s first exclusive AriZona drink in my time covering beverages. (Those exclusive Sprite Chill flavors must be making a good impression on their buyers.)

Is this the only collaboration planned between AriZona and Hot Wheels?

It wouldn’t be fair if the collaboration were just one-sided, would it? In addition to these two drinks, we’ll also see a 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata with an AriZona Green Tea-inspired livery hit the Hot Wheels Silver Series. There’s a rumor that this AriZona Hot Wheels car will be exclusive to 7-Eleven alongside the Watermelon Drift tea; while I haven’t been able to confirm that, it wouldn’t be the first exclusive Hot Wheels release at the chain.

If you’re looking to collect every official beverage collaboration Hot Wheels has produced to date, you’ll need to track down at least two vans that were packed into limited-edition Jones Soda Co. variety packs in the early ’00s. I’ve seen them at toy shows before; the resale price is eye-watering, to say the least. (Do you know how expensive a goofy beverage collaboration has to be for me not to buy it?)
