7-Eleven is selling hot dog-flavored sparkling water.

The retailer has teamed up with beverage brand Miracle Seltzer to create a lineup of sparkling waters in four different flavors: lemon lime, green apple, sweet orange and hot dog.

7-Eleven says the hot dog flavor is a twist on one of its most beloved snacks, the Big Bite Hot Dog.

According to a news release, the Big Bite Hot Dog Sparkling Water is a liquified version of the iconic snack – ketchup and mustard flavors included.

    Not who you’re replying to but…I didn’t think I liked hot dogs until I ate a Chicago hot dog and realized it was just the ketchup making it slimy and sweet. Ketchup on hotdogs is nasty lol

      Sweet?!

      So I just had a look into it and apparently American tomato ketchup is one third sugar (corn syrup, obviously…). Ketchup is supposed to be savory, America; why do you do this?

        Well, they also invented the hot dog lol

        I’ve had a lot of different ketchups and don’t really like any of them. The consistency is too slimy for me

        I think it’s the same here in Canada as I find most regular ketchup (especially Heinz) sickly sweet. I actually buy a no sugar added variant that’s much better to me. It tastes more like tomato-infused vinegar.

            I don’t run a Chicago restaurant so I didn’t care enough to convince you but boy are you missing out on a lot of great food

            One slice of deep dish is delicious though. Wouldn’t want any more than that
