Lipton Iced Tea Encourages Americans To Stop Chuggin' And Start Sippin' By Savoring Moments Together This Summer With New Sunshine Pools

PURCHASE, N.Y., June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Life is full of demands on our time, but why chug through life when what we really crave is simply to take a beat to savor it with the people we love? This summer, Lipton Iced Tea is helping Americans take a moment, no matter how small, to stop chuggin' and start sippin' with the launch of Lipton Sunshine Pools. Starting today on National Iced Tea Day (June 10^th) and continuing each day leading up to the start of summer (June 20^th), Lipton is giving people across the country the chance to win an inflatable, adult-sized Lipton Sunshine Pool created in partnership with PoolCandy.

Inflatable pools have become the must-have item of summer – selling out at major retailers and going for hundreds of dollars on resale markets last summer. So, just in time for Summer 2021, Lipton is introducing Lipton Sunshine Pools, a welcome announcement as people across the country once again look forward to a refreshing dip from the comfort of home. For a chance to win their own pool, fans are invited to share a photo or video of how they enjoy their time when they take a moment to stop chuggin' and start sippin' and tag @LiptonUSA on Instagram or @Lipton on Twitter using #SippinWithLipton #Sweepstakes.

"There is no better way to recharge than to spend time with those who make you smile - your friends and family," said Katrina McDonald, Senior Marketing Director, Pepsi Lipton Partnership. "That is why this summer, no matter how busy life can sometimes be, Lipton is giving Americans a reason to stop chuggin' and start sippin' in a refreshing and fun way – hanging with your favorite people, cooling off and making memories in a Lipton Sunshine Pool."

To properly kick-off the summer of "we time," Lipton is also hosting Lipton Kickoff to Summer Pool Pop-Up celebrations in New York City and Nashville:

• On June 11^th Lipton will pop-up at the Seaport District next to Pier 17 in New York City from 3pm – 5pm, inviting New Yorkers to take a moment to relax in the Lipton brand's riverside oasis, enjoy a free Lipton Iced Tea and take a sun-filled photo with a Lipton Sunshine Pool.
• On June 13^th Nashville residents are invited to join Lipton at East Bank Landing from 1pm – 4pm by reserving their very own pool to lounge in at the Lipton brand's backyard oasis.

The national giveaway and pool pop-ups all kick-off Lipton brand's latest campaign – Stop Chuggin' Start Sippin.'

That's why Lipton is inviting fans to take a step off the hamster wheel of life and take a moment to do what matters most, creating time well spent with others.
