The last quarter of the year is a prime season for new products specially for those catching the Christmas season market. And just when the third quarter of 2012 was just about to end, Pepsi-Cola launched a coconut craze with the new Tropicana Coco Quench drink with super model Charo Ronquillo as its brand ambassador.
Tasting the Tropicana Coco Quench
I have recently tried the 330ml single-serve of Tropicana Coco Quench which retails at P30 and I liked it!
Being a fresh coconut juice drinker myself, I had reservations at first with its freshness since it’s a processed and packed good. I also thought it would be filled with preservatives for shelf-life – I was wrong.
I came to know that Tropicana Coco Quench actually has no preservatives and its container is made with Tetra Pack packaging techonology that replicates the protection of coconuts It has 6 protective layers to maintain quality and freshness for an 8-month shelf-life.
Benefits of Coconut Water
- I have gathered some coconut water benefits in this list for reference as well:
- Naturally hydrating with less sugar and calories due to its electrolytes similar to the human plasma
- Rich source of iron, calcium, magnesium and 4 times higher potassium content than bananas
- Helps reduce food cravings and aid in weight loss
- Flushes out toxins
I think Tropicana banked on the ubiquitous demand of coconut water not only in the Philippines but also around the world. It also brands itself as made from real coconut water and 100% fresh fit for any age. The same demand has also drawn global attention to the Philippines as one of the leading sources of coconut water in the world. I wish the new product all the best for the public to appreciate the portability it offers while getting the benefits of coconut waters
