Britvic and PepsiCo introduce new natural energy drink - SoBe Pure Rush

Leading soft drinks manufacturer Britvic is expanding its portfolio of functional drinks by introducing PepsiCo’s SoBe Pure Rush to the UK market. SoBe Pure Rush is completely different to anything else in the stimulant energy market. Not only does it come in two delicious flavours, Apple Berry Burst and Tropical Twist, this great-tasting drink also contains naturally-energising caffeine, guarana and ginseng, and has no artificial colours or flavours. Pure Rush will look to capitalise on the SoBe brand’s hugely successful global track record worth £570 million in sales.
Britvic’s current focus is on seeding the brand in key OTG outlets, where shoppers are looking for a boost.  Pure Rush is currently available in BP, WHS Travel stores and urban café’s and delis in a 250ml can at an MRRP of £1.39.
Britvic’s Head of Seed Brands, Jon Evans, commented:

“SoBe Pure Rush is a great-tasting energy drink that will offer consumers something completely different. Research shows that the number of people buying stimulant drinks is in decline recently, because people don’t like how they taste, and because they’re full of artificial ingredients.  Pure Rush has been designed to address this. We are confident it will bring new shoppers into the category and help grow sales in the stimulant drink segment, which is now worth £399 million. ”
