Celebrating Jamaica’s Best Summer Yet
– “Legend” and “Sprinter” to honour local stalwarts as well as athletes
Kingston- 2012 - Summer in Jamaica will be a lot more fun
with two exciting new flavours of Tropical Rhythms set to cool down
temperatures while stimulating the taste buds with bursts of excitement.
The two commemorative editions of Tropical Rhythms,
“Legend” and “Sprinter”, were launched at the recent Penn Relays in celebration
of Jamaica’s many legends as well as GraceKennedy’s 90th anniversary;
and to honour Jamaica's world class performance in athletics. Best served
chilled, “Legend” ripples with a tangy pineapple and mango flavour, while
“Sprinter” bursts with an extra fruity taste from the unusual combination of
watermelon and banana, complemented by an enticing aroma.
The new flavours have no preservatives and are
rich in Vitamin C. They are sold in special collectors’ bottles that are also
being used to mark 50 years of Jamaica’s independence. So when you’re through
savouring the taste, there is another reason to keep the bottle close. The
commemorative editions can be found at retail outlets islandwide, but are not
limited to Jamaica, so members of the Diaspora, and Jamaicans at heart can
purchase the new flavours in the Caribbean, as well as the United States of
America. Additionally, for every purchase of any of the two flavours, Grace
Foods will donate ten cents to the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) for the development
of athletics islandwide.
“This year is unique in so many ways for us at
Grace Foods, and for Jamaica as a country, so we felt obligated to do something
outstanding, not just for the moment, but something that Jamaicans the world
over could have to reflect upon as the years go by,” commented Tania Christie,
Marketing Manager, Grace Foods and Services. “Tropical Rhythms provided that
opportunity with two unique flavours in bottles that exhibit the Jamaican
colours. We know both flavours will make great gifts,” she added.
“Legend” comes in a bottle that is predominantly
green, but features yellow and black and an image of the Doctor Bird. The “Sprinter”
bottle is predominantly yellow, with green and black from the national colours featuring
a picture of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce,
reigning women’s 100m Olympic Champion and Grace Foods’ Ambassador. Commenting
on the new flavours, Fraser-Pryce, expressed
much enthusiasm. “I’ve always loved Tropical Rhythms, and “Sprinter” and
“Legend” stand out for me with their unique colours and taste. Knowing that
this year is so special, I feel extremely proud to be associated with the
commemorative editions, and I applaud Grace for taking the initiative to
celebrate us as athletes and as a country.
