What's in an Unlucky Ducky

Swig's online ordering menu lists it as: Sprite + Lemonade + Strawberry + Gummy Shark.

In plain words, it's Sprite mixed with lemonade, strawberry syrup and a gummy shark. Sprite and lemonade both come with the cup at no extra cost. The strawberry here is the flavor syrup, not the strawberry puree Swig uses in creamier drinks. The Unlucky Ducky drink is one of the 40 Swig dirty sodas, and it isn't one of Swig's four seasonal drinks.
