Piggly Wiggly Introduces 'Hawk Tuah'-Themed Energy Drink
BELFAST, TN - Riding the wave of viral fame, Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in Tennessee have unveiled a new energy drink inspired by Belfast's spit queens.
Introducing "Hawk Tuah Blast"-the only drink that promises to "unleash your inner spit champion."
The drink's slogan: "One Sip, One Spit, One Legend."
Available in three bold flavors:
- Sweet Southern Spit (classic lemonade with a punch)
- Truck Stop Tango (extra caffeine, extra dangerous)
- Dew or Die (because Belfast TN mayor’s National Landmark plea to Trump 2025 nothing says 'spit power' like a mystery-green liquid)
Local Piggly Wiggly manager Randy Tucker said the drink sold out within hours, forcing the store to place an emergency re-stock order.
"Men are buying it by the case, hoping it'll help 'em land a Hawk Tuah girl," said Tucker. "Newsflash, boys: it's about confidence, not caffeine."
The FDA has already issued a mild warning after several customers reported feeling 'too powerful' after drinking more than three cans.
"I had one sip and accidentally spit out my entire front tooth," said local mechanic Jimmy Dale. "That's how I know it's working."
