GUNNA: The Fizzy Drink Revolution That's Shaking Up the Industry and Saving the Planet
Guest Blog Written By Gunna
GUNNA, the game-changing UK soda brand, is storming onto the beverage scene with its bold flavours and fierce commitment to sustainability that'll make you customers sit up and take notice. These lemonades aren't just crafted from real fruit and inspired by classic cocktails—they're here to rewrite the soda script and light the way to a brighter, more environmentally friendly future.
Is The Sun Setting On Traditional Soda?
The demand for healthier, functional drinks is skyrocketing, and GUNNA is perfectly positioned to capitalise on this trend. According to Mintel's 2023 report on attitudes towards healthy eating in the UK, a staggering 92% of people say they are conscious of the need to eat and drink healthier, with 63% actively trying to consume healthier products all or some of the time.
Moreover, 45% of customers say it is essential that the food or drinks they buy boost immunity, and 65% actively want their favourite soft drinks to offer added health benefits. With its immune-boosting Zinc and Vitamin C content, GUNNA is poised to meet this growing demand.
The UK market size for functional drinks is set to more than double over the next three years, and a whopping 58% of consumers say that they want to see healthier soft drinks in retailers' ranges. As a testament to the value that consumers place on healthier options, twice as many shoppers are willing to pay more than double the average price of a normal soft drink for functional drinks.
But what really sets GUNNA apart from the rest of the fizzy drink lot?
It's not just their cracking taste—it's their unwavering dedication to being a planet-positive alternative. These guys are proudly carbon-negative and always plastic-free, offsetting double the carbon they emit and giving plastic pollution a good kicking. By choosing GUNNA, you're not just sorting out your customers thirst—you're making a stand and supporting a brand that puts the health of our planet first.
Mixing With The Best
The headliner of GUNNA's summer lineup is Pink Punk, a cheeky raspberry lemonade inspired by the classic Shirley Temple mocktail. And for those looking to add a summery twist to their cocktail menu, the Pink Punk Lemonade Gin Cocktail is the perfect upsell. Let's face it, the weather's been rubbish this summer, but this refreshing tipple is sure to put a smile on your customers' faces.
