MALIBU SURFS UP WAVES BREAKING ON CHINA SHORES: THE EXCITING NEW TASTES OF MALIBU SUNRISE ORANGE AND MALIBU SURFS UP LEMON LIME PUTTING GREAT BIG SMILES ON THE FACES OF CHINESE GIRLS & BOYS
BEIJING & CLEVELAND--(PRWEB)-October 31, 2002--CALCOL INC.
(OTC:CLCL) which only two months ago introduced new MALIBU-COLA with the real cola taste"
to China has just brought two surprising refreshing new flavors to Beijing supermarket shelves.
Named for the beautiful orange sunrise on Highway 1 on the Malibu California coastline with the taste of real orange"
MALIBU SUNRISE ORANGE is now widely available in Beijing in elegant elongated
1.25 liter PET bottles in time for Chinese family get-togethers for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Holidays and
Chinese New Years (Spring Festival). Named for the rolling blue and green waves popular with California surfer girls and boys,
MALIBU SURFS UP LEMON-LIME has the clean refreshing taste of delicious California citrus fruits
which rolls off the tongue like a cooool" California wave.
CALCOL INC. Vice President Mr. Ji Jun said, "CALCOL INC. through
its subsidiary Sanhe Meile Soft Drinks Co. Ltd. is overjoyed to be
now offering for sale CALCOL's own brand of cola MALIBU-COLA (China
and US trademarks pending) in Beijing. The label for MALIBU-COLA as it
is now being sold in Beijing is now on CALCOL's website
http://www.calcol.com. We hope to sell as much as 160,000
standard cases of new MALIBU-COLA before the end of this calendar
year! Our projections tell us we expect to sell between 5 and 10 million standard cases of our
six new MALIBU flavors in China by the end of calendar 2003.
We expect to see the brand-new flavors of MALIBU SUNRISE ORANGE and MALIBU SURFS UP LEMON-LIME
(China trademarks pending) we are now introducing to China flying off the supermarket shelves.
The Chinese girls and boys like new things, new tastes, colors, and flavors-
and instead of the same old thing we are giving them something new and really delicious!
"MALIBU-COLA "the taste of real cola" retails in China for about 20% less
than Coke or Pepsi products with MALIBU-SURFS UP LEMON-LIME about 20% less than Sprite or 7-UP and
MALIBU SUNRISE ORANGE about 20% less than MIRINDA or FANTA. The Chinese parents can buy
their kids wonderful great-tasting American cola, lemon-lime and orange flavors for a fraction of the cost!
In a price sensitive market, they get the taste of real cola for less! They will have a choice of 5 more great American flavors
as well in the coming months! They get the great taste of MALIBU at a great price!
A fair number of distributors and retail stores(from medium-sized supermarkets to Mom and Pop grocery stores)
and restaurants in our area of Beijing are starting to sell our products. The feedback
we are getting is that our customers like our MALIBU-COLA product's "real cola
taste," and bright blue and red label, as well as value. Our customers
are telling us our product has "the taste of real cola!" They are
coming back to ask for more. Our new elegant elongated trademarked 1.25 liter PET bottle has
eye appeal on the shelves and is easy for kids to handle at home; our customers tell us that our
new orange labels for the MALIBU-SUNRISE and new blue green labelled MALIBU SURFS UP
| | - a bright green PET bottle) are also eye-catching and attention grabbing of the throngs
- thousands mobbing the Chinese hypermarkets.
"Repeat orders are growing. We are bottling several hundred
thousand 1.25 liter bottles of MALIBU-COLA, MALIBU SUNRISE ORANGE, and MALIBU SURFS UP
over the holidays from the thousands of units of concentrate we recently made and are making in our Sanhe Yanjiao plant
