Tropicana expands Essentials range with new juice flavour Energise

Tropicana has announced the launch of a new flavour to its popular Essentials line-up: Energise.

A juice with health and wellness benefits, the tropical flavour has Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Banana and Ginseng as key ingredients and contains added magnesium to help fight tiredness.


“Only one third of British adults currently achieve their five portions of fruit & veg a day. Juice drinkers are 70 percent more likely to achieve their five a day target and so, as the UK’s number one chilled juice brand, we can play a role in closing that gap,” commented Caroline Wilding, marketing manager for Tropicana at PepsiCo.

The brand said the new flavour has clocked an impressive 90 percent purchase intent in early testing. The launch is part of a wider invigoration of the Essentials line-up, which includes a modernised artwork to attract younger shoppers to functional juices.

“Since the launch of Tropicana Essentials, the range has continued to bring incremental shoppers to the category. Functional juice is the fastest growing segment within chilled fruit juice and Tropicana Essentials has established itself as a beacon brand,” Wilding added.

Fans can also get their hands on thousands of free Squashies and take part in a spin-the-wheel game to fun prizes. There will also be the chance to win tickets to see other global artists perform at Coop Live.

“Our partnership with Co-op Live has proved to be a real success so far, and Squashies have been a popular purchase across the venue," said Sarah-Louise Heslop, Head of Marketing at Swizzels. "Through this experiential event, we hope to sweeten music lovers’ visits to the arena, offering them the chance to sample Squashies, take part in some fun games, and snap and share some pictures on our brand-new Squashies-inspired sofa.”

Since forming a partnership with Co-op Live for its opening earlier this year, several different flavours of Squashies have been available to purchase at the venue, and Swizzels has also provided personalised rolls of its iconic Love Hearts to performers. Visitors to the premium area of the arena are also able to purchase Swizzels hampers containing a mix of fan favourites.
