The KA Karnival Twist soda is a limited-edition refreshment created by the brand to provide consumers with a taste of the Caribbean during carnival season. The drink features an effervescent profile that boasts notes of coconut and lime in every sip to make it great for enjoyment on its own, but also great with a variety of Caribbean-style meals. The soda is making its debut in the UK where consumers can pick it up in two-liter and 500ml bottles priced at £1.80 and £1, respectively.
Barr Soft Drinks Commercial Director Jonathan Kemp commented on the KA Karnival Twist soda saying, "KA is synonymous with a taste of the Caribbean and is a must stock brand during carnival season, when it delivers double the sales of competitors. The added limited edition aspect will really excite new shoppers as well as our loyal consumer base. We’re advising retailers to stock up and ensure availability throughout peak summer months. You really can’t have a KArnival without KA!"
