ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 31,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Six more weeks of winter or an
early spring? Who cares! No matter the prediction, Lipton Hard Iced
Tea is bringing the sunshine to Groundhog Day in a BIG way. This
year, the brand is shaking up tradition with a 9-foot-tall
groundhog statue made entirely out of Lipton Hard Iced Tea cans and
the launch of a 12-pack format of the fan-favorite Citrus Green Tea
flavor.
Lipton Hard Iced Tea Brings the Sunshine to
Groundhog Day with a 9-Foot Groundhog Statue and a New
12-Pack
The star of this year's Groundhog Day celebration isn't coming
out of a burrow, or a cake being cut into slices. It's a massive
9-foot-tall groundhog statue made from 6,000 Lipton Hard Iced Tea
cans. Dubbed "Can Daddy," this towering tribute to Groundhog Day is
making its way through Pennsylvania bringing a sip of sunshine to the
festivities. The stud weighs an estimated 250 pounds and took a
team of four over 150 hours to construct.
For one lucky fan, the celebration won't end on Sunday. Lipton
Hard Iced Tea is giving away the larger-than-life statue to someone
bold enough to take the party home. Fans 21 and older can enter by
visiting @liptonhardtea on Instagram and commenting "Groundhog" on
this post for a chance to win. *
The new 12-pack offering of Citrus Green Tea allows you to sip
and share America's favorite Lipton flavor with friends, now with
5% alcohol. If you're in Pennsylvania, you can stop by to try samples
of the flavor and see "Can Daddy" for yourself at the following
locations. The brand is also harnessing the power of the sun to
create a special shadow billboard that will cast a hidden message
on Saturday at the Indiana, PA
stop. Come check it out for yourself!
- Friday, January 31 at The Curry
Hollow Shopping Center in Pittsburgh,
PA from 4-6 PM EST
- Saturday, February 1 at the
corner of Maple St. & Willow Ave
in Indiana, PA from 3-5 PM EST
