Old Jamaica refreshes soda range with new tropical flavour, 2l bottle

Old Jamaica refreshes soda range with new tropical flavour, 2l bottle

Old Jamaica has overhauled its soda range, revealing a complete brand redesign, new tropical fruit flavour, and added a two-litre PET bottle format.

The new look is modern, vibrant and has a strong colour palette to create stand-out on shelf and ensure the four flavours – pineapple soda, grape soda, cream soda and new tropical soda – have a distinctive look.


In addition, Old Jamaica is transporting consumers to sunnier shores and adding some fizz to retailer fixtures with the introduction of a new tropical fruit flavour. The new Old Jamaica Tropical Soda is available in a 330ml can (RSP £0.45) and two litre PET bottle format (RSP £1.49). The two-litre bottle format has also been extended to the existing pineapple soda and grape soda flavours.

“When it comes to Old Jamaica Sodas, our range has proven popular with younger consumers but to ensure its continued success we need to offer variety and choice, which is why we have added a new tropical flavour," said Terri Cooper, senior commercial manager at Old Jamaica.

“As more people enjoy soft drinks at home and to suit all drinking occasions, we have added a new two litre bottle format to the pineapple, grape and tropical soda lines. And to create a strong on-shelf standout and appeal to our target audience, we have unveiled a vibrant new design which better reflects Old Jamaica Soda's brand personality.”

To support sales, Old Jamaica is running a marketing campaign including an on-pack promotion to win 1M Jamaican dollars, advertising, influencer activity, paid and organic social media.

Red Bull introduces new zero calorie drink

Red Bull introduces new zero calorie drink

This winter, Red Bull is broadening its no sugar offer with the global launch of Red Bull Zero, delivering Zero sugar and Zero calories, with the popular flavour of Red Bull Original Energy Drink, the leading single serve soft drink in the market.

Health is now a key concern for shoppers, with 75 per cent considering health when they choose a soft drink [Appinio, July 2024], however, taste continues to be the number 1 driver of purchase [Kantar, July 2023] highlighting the need for a sufficient offering of great tasting no sugar and zero alternatives alongside full sugar soft drinks.

Red Bull Sugarfree caters to this need, providing a no sugar offering but with a distinct flavour that has built up a loyal shopper base. Red Bull Zero aims to fill a gap in the current line-up, for a liquid closer to the taste of Original Red Bull Energy Drink. It meets demand by delivering the same energy boost and taste, but without the sugar, targeting incremental category occasions.

With health such a key consideration for soft drink consumers, Red Bull said it is important to cater to this need within the Energy category. Offering more no sugar options is key to building incrementality for the category with more users, consuming energy drinks more often, and across more occasions. Red Bull has been key to driving this growth, with a portfolio that offers choice, growing shoppers and frequency of its no sugar products year on year and Red Bull Zero aims to drive this further.

The new can also compliments the Red Bull Energy Drink line-up, featuring the brands’ two most distinctive and recognisable assets – the core blue and silver rhombus design and the bull brand logo, along with a ‘New Taste’ flash.
