Trivia[]
- This flavor and Freedom Fusion are the fourth and fifth American-themed flavors to release, the first being DEW-S-A (2017, 2021), the second being Liberty Brew/Liberty Chill (2019, 2020, 2024), and the third being Summer Freeze (2023).
- When Liberty Chill, Star Spangled Splash, and Freedom Fusion, all three patriotic flavors, were released, many people started to mix these three flavors to create another version of DEW-S-A, another patriotic flavor, and that flavor has a mixture of Code Red, White Out, and Voltage together.
