Slice Soda Teases 2026 Return of Beloved Apple Flavor with Social Giveaway

Fans of the original flavor can enter to win cans of Slice Apple in a limited return this month, before they hit shelves in Target stores nationwide in January 2026. Fans asked and Slice listened! Slice Soda, the classic '80s soda brand that's been reimagined for today's wellness-minded consumer by Suja Life, is answering die-hard fan demands and bringing back its popular Apple flavor. While the official nationwide retail return isn't until early next year, Slice is offering exclusive first sips through a limited-time giveaway. Starting today through Friday, December 13, Slice will be giving away over 1,000 cans of its retro-refreshed Apple flavor, along with assorted merchandise.

Since our relaunch, we've been thrilled with fan response to the return of our classics like Orange and Grape, but the number one flavor our fans have requested that we bring back is Apple," says Nicole Portwood, Chief Marketing Officer at Suja Life. "We're excited to share that Apple Slice will return to shelves at Target stores and other retailers nationwide early next year, but in the spirit of the holidays, we're giving a few lucky fans the chance to enjoy it early." Like all of Slice's sodas, Apple Slice offers the nostalgic flavor and fizz of classic soda with a better-for-you twist. Each can boasts 5 grams of fiber, only 40 calories, and 4 grams of sugar per can. Like all Slice sodas, Apple features a gut-loving blend of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics – the only brand in the healthy soda category to feature all three biotics – and never has high fructose corn syrup. Apple is the latest flavor to join Slice's fabulously fizzy lineup, including new flavors such as Shirley Temple, Root Beer, Watermelon, and Cherry Cola. Just like these new additions, Slice's full lineup is inspired by classic soda flavors and includes Orange, Grape, Lemon Lime, Classic Cola, Cherry Cola, Watermelon, Ginger Ale, Grapefruit Spritz, and Strawberry. While most brands in the healthy soda category fall flat on the satisfying bubbles of traditional soda, Slice has the highest carbonation level in the category.
