There was a time when a bottle of Krest or the Stoney dominated the beverage coolers and drinks shelves in supermarkets. They were the go-to ‘chaser’ on a night out. Their flavours, citrus and ginger, were part of the social offerings at weddings, family picnics and on bar counters.
Today, the shelves look a little different as new bottles of imported tonics, zero-sugar sodas, fruit-infused sparkling waters and craft beverages targeting a more adventurous and health-conscious drinker overshadow Krest and Stoney.
