The Tango Berry Peachy Sugar-Free soda is being launched by Britvic in the UK as a new refreshment for consumers seeking out a crisp, fruit flavor profile. The drink features a sugar-free recipe that addresses increasing consumer demand for refreshments that don't contain loads of sugar, but is packed with flavor to make it perfect for those seeking out bold taste. The product is being launched in both cans and bottles in the UK where it will be supported by a substantial marketing campaign.
Out-of-Home Commercial Director at Britvic Phil Sanders commented on the new Tango Berry Peachy Sugar-Free soda saying, "Introducing no sugar products without compromising on taste is exactly what shoppers have come to expect, with nine out of 10 saying that flavour and taste are important considerations when choosing a soft drink, and seven out of 10 saying that sugar content or lack thereof is important [Independent research commissioned by Britvic, Shopper attitudes to on-the-go shopping in convenience, 2,000 shoppers surveyed, July 2021]. Sugar free carbonates are the most sought out option (54%) when it comes to on-the-go soft drinks [ibid], so the single 330ml cans and 500ml bottles will be ideal options for driving this occasion."
