Abby & Bill have tickets to see The Awakening Tour, featuring Skillet, Jeremy Camp and We Are Messengers on November 23 at the VBC!
It’s called 40th Pop Fizz, and it’s all thanks to Dolly Parton. I
mean she’s done books, a line of baking kits, a doggy clothing
line, and now has her own signature flavor of Coca-Cola. Dolly herself had a hand in creating this unique flavor. Named “40th Pop Fizz” to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dollywood, which turns 40 next year. The flavor is described as a cherry, creamy Coca-Cola taste. Some say it’s delicious, some not so much. But you’re going to have to travel to Pigeon Forge, if you want to try it for yourself. It’s only available inside Dollywood.
