Scott popped up at one store where fans ran and crowded the Astroworld rapper to get his autograph on certain merchandise like the Cactus Jack Air Jordan 6 or the poster for the Travis Scott meal at McDonald’s. Fans were in such a commotion it was difficult for Scott to purchase a pack of gum.
“CACTI is something I’m really proud of and have put a ton of work into,” Scott said in a press release. “Me and the team really went in, not only on getting the flavor right, but on thousands of creative photos on everything from the actual beverage, to the can concept, to the packaging and how it is presented to the world.”
He continued, “We always try to convey a feeling in our products. I’m a big fan of tequila so I came at it from that angle, too. I’m really excited to put this out in 2021 and see other people be able to enjoy it.”
