Suntory Foods POP Melon Soda and POP Blue Cider

Suntory Foods International will introduce POP Melon Soda and POP Blue Cider, which will be available nationwide from April 18, 2023. Both products will be sold in 600ml (20.29us fl oz) PET bottles at an estimated price of 160 yen (excluding tax).

The "POP" series was launched in 1977 as a carbonated beverage containing fruit juice in returnable bottles, and has been a long-seller sold at family restaurants and movie theaters.

This time around, the series has been given a more retro makeover, with the "Melon Soda" and "Blue Cider" flavors being offered for a change of pace or to refresh the palate. The brand logo on each package has been updated to express a retro atmosphere with light colors, and the glass and ice are incorporated into the design to evoke a sweet and refreshing carbonated beverage.

POP Melon

Soda

"POP Melon Soda" is a renewal of the existing flavor. It recreates the refreshing taste of the old-fashioned melon soda of coffee shops. The flavor has been thickened and the content has been made to be more drinkable, so that it can be enjoyed with ice or ice cream.


POP Blue

Cider

"POP Blue Cider" is a new flavor of ramune-flavored cider, which, along with melon soda, is a staple drink in coffee shops. It reproduces the old-fashioned taste of ramune that you used to drink on shaved ice or at summer festival stalls. It also features a clear blue liquid color.
