Just in time for summer, Publix Supermarkets is offering some cool limited-time-only drinks and snacks to help you deal with the Florida heat.

The company announced two new teas and a lemonade, four different types of kettle-cooked potato chips, summer and pasta salads, and a new wrap from the deli. No deadline was provided so you may want to grab your cart.

This is the latest in the Lakeland-based supermarket chain's experiments in limited-time issues. In February the stores stocked eight limited-time store-brand ice cream flavors, Last year they greeted the start of football season with NFL-themed delis subs, including the Jacksonville Jaguars sub with hot chicken tenders, bacon, cheddar cheese, sweet coleslaw and BBQ sauce.

Publix also recently announced a new Italian-inspired Tutto Pugliese bread available for your favorite deli subs.
