AI-Developed Fizzy Drinks

Funtola Uses AI to Forecast Popular Flavors for Gen Z

— October 16, 2021 — Lifestyle
Funtola is a newly launched full-flavor fizzy drink that's said to be comparable to lemonade and it targets Gen Z with its novel varieties. The brand relies on artificial intelligence insights to create fun drinks specifically for an audience that loves being on social media, staying on top of what's new and participating in all sorts of challenges.

Appealing to the adventurous tastes of Gen Z, Funtola launched its first product, a bubblegum-flavored beverage that's pink in color. Secondly, the brand launched Mango Trio as a mango-based drink that works well as a cocktail mixer. Thanks to AI, the algorithm showed that mango flavors (which are currently in high demand) would work well with the aroma of pineapple and orange extract.

The brand's third offering, Space Cow, unites the flavors of strawberry and marshmallow.
