Ghost Energy Bubblicious Strawberry Splash Returns for Summer 2025

Ghost Energy Bubblicious Strawberry Splash is BACK! The legendary bubble gum flavor returned for Ghost’s 9th birthday celebration, alongside Cotton Candy and new Cinnamon Toast Crunch protein cereal.

Ghost Energy continues its legendary flavor collaboration streak with the return of Bubblicious Strawberry Splash, launching as part of Ghost’s massive 9th birthday celebration on June 1st, 2025. This fan-favorite flavor is making its triumphant return alongside Ghost Energy Bubblicious Cotton Candy and the brand-new Ghost Protein Cereal Cinnamon Toast Crunch collaboration.

Originally launched in 2022 and brought back for summer 2023, Bubblicious Strawberry Splash has proven itself as one of Ghost’s most beloved energy drink flavors. The timing of its return couldn’t be better – as Ghost navigates new partnerships following their acquisition by Keurig Dr Pepper and the end of their Mondelez collaborations, they’re doubling down on the flavor partnerships that built their reputation.

This limited-time release will be available on Ghost’s direct-to-consumer website and specialty retailers starting June 1st, with an exclusive Kroger launch beginning June 25th and running through November 4th, 2025.

The Secret Behind Bubblicious Strawberry Splash

In a sad and seemingly-bitter ending to a successful 7-year partnership, Mondelez has filed a lawsuit against GHOST, demanding destruction of all remaining branded inventory just two weeks before Ghost’s proposed sell-through date.

What makes Bubblicious Strawberry Splash so special isn’t just nostalgia – it’s the brilliant flavor engineering that makes it work. Pure bubble gum flavor doesn’t translate well to energy drinks or supplements. It often comes across as artificial or one-dimensional. But by combining the iconic bubble gum base with sweet strawberry notes, Ghost created something that captures the essence of childhood bubble gum while delivering a flavor profile that actually tastes incredible in liquid form.

This is the same magic that made Bubblicious Strawberry Splash Ghost Legend such a hit in the pre-workout category. The strawberry element provides the perfect bridge between nostalgia and genuine flavor quality – it’s what bubble gum flavored supplements always needed.

Part of Ghost’s Biggest Birthday Bash Yet

Ghost’s 9th birthday celebration on June 1st, 2025 represents one of their most significant launch days ever. Alongside Bubblicious Strawberry Splash Ghost Energy, they’re bringing back:

• Ghost Energy Bubblicious Cotton Candy – The other half of the beloved Bubblicious duo
• Ghost Legend Bubblicious Strawberry Splash – Going global across all markets
• Ghost Protein Cereal Cinnamon Toast Crunch – Their groundbreaking General Mills collaboration

This coordinated launch shows Ghost’s commitment to celebrating their anniversary by giving fans exactly what they’ve been asking for, while also pushing into new territory with major brand partnerships.

Ingredients Worth Fighting For

GHOST drops the ultimate birthday gift: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Protein Cereal! 17g protein, only 5g sugar per serving. General Mills collab brings that iconic cinnamon-sugar flavor we grew up on. Exclusive launch on GHOST’s site for their 9th birthday!

As Ghost CEO Dan Lourenço explained in Episode #116 of the PricePlow Podcast about the meteoric rise of Ghost Energy, premium ingredients like natural caffeine and full clinical doses of L-carnitine and taurine are “worth fighting for” in the energy drink space.

While it’s relatively easy to add these ingredients to powdered supplements, including them in ready-to-drink beverages requires significant investment and education of manufacturing partners. Every penny counts in energy drink production, but Ghost has consistently pushed to maintain their premium ingredient profile even as they’ve scaled to massive distribution.

This commitment to quality ingredients, combined with their authentic flavor collaborations, helps explain why Ghost Energy has become such a dominant force in the category, with hundreds of cans sold every minute across the United States.

Exclusive Kroger Partnership

The exclusive Kroger launch beginning June 25th represents a significant retail milestone for this limited-edition flavor. Running through November 4th, 2025, this partnership gives Kroger customers exclusive access to Bubblicious Strawberry Splash during peak summer months when refreshing flavors are most in demand.

This type of exclusive retail partnership has become a hallmark of Ghost’s distribution strategy, creating special access moments that drive both retailer loyalty and consumer excitement.

Conclusion: Birthday Celebrations Done Right

In a monumental turn of events, Ghost Lifestyle has been acquired by Keurig Dr Pepper in a deal worth $1.65 Billion Dollars! Our only question is, when’s the Dr Pepper energy drink collab?!

Ghost Energy Bubblicious Strawberry Splash’s return as part of the brand’s 9th birthday celebration shows exactly why Ghost has become the leader in authentic flavor collaborations. While other brands struggle to make licensed flavors taste good, Ghost has mastered the art of translating beloved tastes into functional formats.

The coordinated launch with other Bubblicious flavors and the new Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal demonstrates Ghost’s ability to create comprehensive brand experiences rather than just individual product releases. It’s this type of strategic thinking that helped drive their recent $1.65 billion acquisition and positions them for even bigger things ahead.

Whether you’re a longtime Ghost fan who remembers the original launch or someone discovering this flavor for the first time, Bubblicious Strawberry Splash represents everything great about Ghost Energy: premium ingredients, authentic flavors, and the perfect balance of nostalgia and innovation.
