Spicy Strawberry will remain online exclusively through Nicokick until October 2026, while Spicy Mango, also available at select stores, will be available online exclusively through Nicokick for at least six months. Nicokick will also be the exclusive retailer of the new zone Spicy Mix-Pack, which includes all three Spicy flavors and will be offered at 50 percent off from Aug 1 – 11.
