Advantages: Thirst quenching

Disadvantages: Didn't like the flavour

The Orange and Pomegranate J20 was a limited edition flavour released by Britvic to see hopw successful it could be. I worked in a pub at the time of its release and it didn't really sell, despite a sales push. I found that on tasting it it didn't really do much for me, either. I'm not sure whether it was the combination of the orange and the pomegranate that just didn't work, or whether it is due to something else.

The drink in appearance was not actually that appealing. A rather dull red colour, as opposed to the vibrant ruby red of the Apple and Raspberry, gives it less appeal, particularly when kids are choosing something they like the look of. I feel the pomegranate is an acquired taste. It is not the most common fruit, with the other flavours in the J20 range being more commonplace as fruit, let alone in a drink. I'm not the biggest fan of pomegranate anyway, so it was not surprise to me that I didn't really like it.

I will say, however, that it was rather thirst quenching, despite the fact I didn't like the flavour, and I didn't find it as rich as other J20s that I would normally prefer to mix with soda or lemonade to dilute it a bit.

This is probably my least favourite of all the J20s, and I probably wouldn't get it again if it was released. Experience from selling it also is that it wasn't too popular with other people either.

Summary: Unpopular drink out for only a short time
