Poppi designs Amaya Papaya flavor for Love Island USA’s ‘sensitive gangster’

Islander Amaya Espinal on Love Island USA season 7 is the most beloved right now, and it was clear from the recent episode's rankings. When it came to being genuine and best, she was ranked at the top of every list.

Capitalizing on this opportunity, soda brand Poppi has now designed a cute new drink as an ode to her. It is called Amaya Papaya, after the nickname that she has been given.

Amaya has got a lot of heat from her connections on the Love Island villa, especially from Ace and Austin, who called out her sensitive behavior.

Amaya clapped back by saying that she is not sorry for feeling a lot and having a range of emotions. They also said that she cried a lot at all times, to which Amaya replied by saying:

"God forbid I'm a sensitive gangster."

This one-liner became huge among the Love Island USA fans, who loved her raw and brutal emotions in the villa, which is refreshing when compared to the sneaky behavior of other islanders. Poppi, designing a drink about the same, wrote on their Instagram:

“'We build' a flavor for you! 🥹 we never said we were perfect, but this can sure is 🤭 let’s pour one out for our fave sensitive gangsta 🌴🫧 *cue the whimsical music asap*."

The Poppi drink that they have designed for Amaya Espinal, called Amaya Papaya, features a phrase that says, "Always our babe." This is a reference to when Amaya, after entering as a bombshell in the villa during the first week, was picked up by Ace, despite him being attracted to Chelley.

What happened after was chaos. Ace started treating Amaya rudely and even forbade her from calling him "babe." However, Amaya reasoned by saying that she calls everyone and everything "babe" and she does not mean that romantically. However, Ace was still not on board with the vocabulary.

Later, when Austin was paired up with Amaya, he too did not care for her sensitive nature and even ended up calling her out in front of everybody during the postcard challenge, where islanders wrote about each other.

He said that Amaya and her emotions were a lot to take in, especially when they are on Love Island USA. Amaya, even though she was in tears, clapped back by saying that she is not everyone's cup of tea, and that is okay because they do not need to drink it.

She has been getting a lot of love because of her relatable quotes and personality traits. Fans were delighted when they saw Poppi make a drink out of that, and even Peacock's official Instagram account commented by saying:

"I’m so gratatouille for this 🥹.”

This is yet another reference to Amaya Papaya, who uses the term "gratitude" a lot, and it does sound like "gratatouille" with her accent.
