Nostalgia in a Bottle. We’re easing into the weekend with a little local love and a splash of Americana flair. From scents that take you down memory-filled backroads to cans that celebrate 250 years of U.S. history, there’s a lot to take in. Locally, Visit Tallahassee is bottling up nostalgia (well, sort of…) with Canopy Roads, a fragrance inspired by the iconic shaded drives and that unmistakable North Florida charm. 🌿 And Florida gets a patriotic pop of fizz with the America250 Coca-Cola mini cans, because history apparently tastes better chilled. 🥤

Quick Summary
In our 614th edition, here’s for Fun:

  • Local: Canopy Roads Perfume

  • Florida: America250 Coca-Cola Can

🌸 The Essence of Spring has Finally Been Bottled | Visit Tallahassee

  • It captures the spirit of Florida’s Capital City’s most iconic landscapes through Canopy Roads, a signature fragrance inspired by 78 miles of enchanting, shaded drives.

  • Expect a rich, atmospheric scent featuring sun-drenched Spanish moss, towering Southern live oaks, and the subtle, earthy hint of iron-rich red clay roads.

  • April Fools’ may be over, but we’re still having a little fun this month. We were almost fooled by Visit Tallahassee’s post. 🤭 (Don’t worry, no AI was harmed in the making of this joke…)

  • While you can’t take a bottle home, you can still step into the real thing—the nine official cooling canopies behind it are open for exploration all year round.

🥤🧊 America250 Just Got a Lot Cooler | Coke Florida

  • Florida is getting a special sip of history as Coca-Cola rolls out its limited-edition America250 commemorative mini cans, honoring the 250th anniversary of the United States.

  • Produced at Coca-Cola Beverages Florida’s Jacksonville facility, the collectible cans feature patriotic, state-themed designs as part of a nationwide rollout that celebrates all 50 states. Started on April 6, these mini cans of Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar are hitting shelves across Florida, giving fans a chance to collect a piece of Americana in a refreshing new way. 

  • The cans feature FLORIDA FL prominently on the side with a rising sun logo inside a star. Florida is also participating in the America250 celebration with a new license plate, statues, and various yearlong events. Coca-Cola Florida serves 47 counties in the Sunshine State.
