READING, Pa. – Did anybody order a couple thousand iced coffees for Reading?<\/p>\n
“I love iced coffee, and a lot of people who said they knew me said to come all the way from Oregon to Pennsylvania for this game,” said Allison Weseman from Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n
What goes better with morning baseball in late August than iced coffee?<\/p>\n
“Just morning baseball seems like a good idea. The iced coffees rebrand is really cute. A good way to spend a day,” said Matt Owens of Ridley Park.<\/p>\n
With a green that might remind you of a certain coffee seller, the Fightin Phil’s always about a pitch and catch away from their latest pop-culture inspired identity crisis brewed into the Iced Coffees.<\/p>\n
“I love it I think it’s the most fun thing in baseball. And I think more people need to embrace theme nights,” said Weseman.<\/p>\n
The Iced Coffee promotion sparked national interest being featured on ESPN and even international interest from down under.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to be here in Reading seeing the Fightin Phils play as the Iced Coffees today. It’s a beautiful summers day we’re just here visiting family,” said Alex Matthews from Australia.<\/p>\n
Don’t they have iced coffee in Australia?<\/p>\n
“Iced Coffee is not big in Australia, mostly they drink flat whites… which is a smaller version of a latte especially in the summer I’m always drinking iced coffee when I come back \u2018cause I can’t get it in Australia,” said Alyssa Owens of Australia.<\/p>\n
Apparently in addition to the chilled breakfast brew, the Aussies are lacking in another Baseballtown staple too.<\/p>\n
“They don’t have soft pretzels in Australia, so that’s the first thing I got,” said Owens.<\/p>\n
It almost seems like Reading woke up the world with their morning iced coffee order.<\/p>\n
“So, I have to pick up an iced coffee hat and some pins for my friends because I love iced coffee,” Weseman said. “What we really love about the baseball is how the whole family gets out from the little ones to the grown-ups too.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"READING, Pa. – Did anybody order a couple thousand iced coffees for Reading? “I love iced coffee, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[72987,31173,108606,114604,128,130,129,44158,54660,114344,114605,112790],"class_list":["post-272218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-family-event","tag-fan-experience","tag-iced-coffee","tag-morning-baseball","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-reading-fightin-phils","tag-reading-iced-coffees","tag-rebranding","tag-soft-pretzels","tag-theme-night"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272218\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
