Brand in the news - Five Alive

I get nervous when companies like Coca-Cola start talking about brands with 'real heritage'. Just because something has been lurking on the lower shelves of convenience stores doesn't make it a cultural icon.

It should have learned its lesson a few years back when it tried to convince us a lost generation really wanted Minute Maid to take on the might of Tropicana.

However, now we discover that Coca-Cola wants to revive Five Alive. If odd-tasting, slightly down-market mixed-juice drinks for young audiences are really back in vogue, someone should call whoever owns Um Bongo. At least it offered us brave colours, happy, prancing jungle animals and a catchy tune that, as I type, is once again trying to force its way back into my subconscious.
