The love between John Shize III and his faithful wife Josephine had always been the envy of the business world. In 1985, John created a Shize™ flavor to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary.

To my most beautiful Honey Bee, love of my life, flavor of my world...
Whenever I'm away from you, I miss your sweet words, your candied smile, and your warm touch. even now, after twenty-five years, the butterflies in my stomach keep me up at night.
Sometimes... The butterflies are so intense, they feel like bees.
I made this soda to celebrate our love. I want the world to never forget how much you mean to me.
With Shize™ Honey Pot, whenever we're apart, we an still both taste our sweet love together.
