Barr Soft Drinks relaunches Mango Month

Barr Soft Drinks is relaunching its Mango Month, with a host of competitions, promotions and in-depot activation across wholesale, cash and carry and impulse channels.

Rubicon as a brand is currently one of the fastest growing soft drinks brands, +43 per cent in the last year, with successful launches of Rubicon Spring and Rubicon RAW more recently, contributing to this strong performance.


Celebrating the fresh Alphonso mango harvest hitting the shores of the UK, coinciding with mango festivals to mark their arrival, Rubicon will be helping cash and carries and wholesalers to drive awareness and uplift during this peak sales period. The Alphonso mango has become one of the most wanted fruits in the world, with 1000s of Brits waiting to get their hands on them.

Throughout May, Rubicon will be implementing eye-catching POS displays, offering exciting giveaways, running in-depot events such as trade sampling days and much more.

“Rubicon continues to be the UK’s No. 1 Exotic Juice drink brand and 3.6M households buy Rubicon Mango every year, which is known for its distinctive sweet flavour and scent thanks to the superior Alphonso mangoes we use," said Adrian Troy, Marketing Director at Barr Soft Drinks. "We’re encouraging wholesalers and retailers to stock up on Rubicon Mango in all pack formats and make the most of our in-depot and in-store activation tools.

“Stocking Rubicon Mango alongside our other bestselling flavours will drive sales, by catering for the demand of mouth-watering fruity flavours from trusted brands, especially throughout the spring and summer months.”

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
