Verona, PA (PRWEB) May 02, 2013 – American Beverage Corporation (ABC), the makers of Little Hug Fruit Barrels, is refreshing the Little Hug Fruit Barrels brand in 2013 with the introduction of three delicious new flavors: Wild Berry, Lemon Berry and Cherry Berry. The new flavors will join the already-popular Blue Raspberry to form the all-new Berry Blends Variety Pack. These new product additions follow the success of their popular Original and Tropical variety pack flavors, providing a taste to please everyone.
The new great-tasting, thirst-quenching flavors have 75% less sugar than other leading fruit drinks and are a good source of Vitamins B and E. According to brand research, 71% of kids surveyed said that they would like to try Berry Blends, making the beverages a “kid taste you can smile about”. Cost-conscious shoppers will appreciate that the variety packs offer 33% more drink per serving than pouch brands, retailing at an average price of $3.49 for a 20-count package (or $.17 per serving).
Tim Barr, Vice President of Marketing for Little Hug Fruit Barrels, says, “We understand how challenging it is for parents to find convenient products that they can feel good about giving to their kids. Our Little Hug Fruit Barrels have only 10 calories per serving, are gluten free and come in a fridge pack with straws included so it’s easy to grab and go when you’re in a hurry or to throw in your child’s lunch box when you send them off to school.”
