Mean Girls remains relevant in today’s pop culture and has inspired new products that no fan could have predicted. Next… pink frosting flavored buttercream?
Yes, it’s true: Coffee Mate is bringing Mean Girls into the world of hot and cold drinks with a limited-edition creamer that’s meant to be as vibrant as the film’s signature pink hue and as sweet as a good frosting. Considering the popularity of Mean Girls and Coffee Mate, this should be an easy win, right?
The announcement appeared on Instagram on October 3rd, a fan-created celebration of Mean Girls. The “so fetch” and “plastic-approved” creamers have “hints of sweet, delicious pink frosting flavor in every sip.” Marketing talk aside, we have to admit that it looks really good. However, casual coffee drinkers and fans alike will have to wait until January 2024 to get their hands on the creamer, as it was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic teen comedy film. It will be available in US stores worldwide, although we must stress that it is a limited edition, meaning it will likely sell out quickly. Coffee Mate also did not specify how long it will be on sale.
Mean Girls was released on April 30, 2004, and grossed $130.1 million worldwide against a production budget of $17 million, quickly becoming a cult classic among millennials. Critics also praised Mark Waters’ direction and Tina Fey’s screenplay, saying it was “comic book gold” and a welcome, refreshing turn in female humor and teen comedies. Of course, it also significantly elevated the careers of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried to new heights. It even spawned a musical, which premiered on Broadway in March 2018 and ran for a full two years.
