Fruit Shoot Drinks
Robinsons Fruit Shoot is a fruit drink made especially for kids. These drinks are meant to be a healthier choice than fizzy sodas. You can find them as a drink option in McDonald's Happy Meals. They are also offered in KFC Kids Meals.
Fruit Shoot drinks are described as having "high juice" and "no added sugar." However, the juice content is actually 8%.
The regular Fruit Shoot with a green top used to have full sugar. Since 2014, this green-top version has no added sugar. It also does not contain aspartame. The grey-top Fruit Shoot has no added sugar. But it does contain aspartame, a sugar substitute. It also has potassium sorbate, which keeps it fresh. Natural colors and malic acid are also in it. Fruit Shoot comes in a sports-style bottle.
In 2012, Britvic had to recall some Fruit Shoot packs. These packs had a "spill proof Magicap" design. There were worries about the safety of the bottle's packaging.
Fruit Creations for Adults
In January 2018, Robinsons launched a new line of drinks. This range is called Fruit Creations. It was made specifically for adults.
