The Ugly Manifesto
We are Ugly and we’re not going to sugarcoat it. We’re not a dream. We’re a drink. No unattainable lifestyles. No ridiculous promises. So can the other cans. It’s time to get Real. It’s time to get Ugly.
About Ugly Drinks:
Ugly Drinks is a passionate, rebellious and fun-loving sparkling water brand focused on creating a healthier and more transparent world. We’re not a dream. We’re a drink. Real fruit flavour, water and bubbles. We’re making waves in the USA and the UK. We are unashamedly ambitious and are well on the journey to creating a global mega-brand.
People are drinking less soda than ever before. In its place, sparkling water is hitting the unsweet spot and delivering the cold can moment of a soft drink, but with none of the sugar, sweeteners and artificial ingredients. The category has already landed in a BIG way in the USA and is worth over $2Bn in retail sales and Ugly is leading the way in the UK.
This is an amazing opportunity to drive the top-line growth of one of the hottest brands in one of the hottest categories in food and drink.
It’s time to get Real. It’s time to get Ugly.
What are the Ugly products?
Ugly Drinks is a range of 100% natural fruit flavoured sparkling waters with NO Sugar, NO Sweetener, NO Calories and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Artificial. Just the way we like it.
Currently in six flavours (watch this space for more); Lemon & Lime, Peach, Cherry, Watermelon, Pina Colada & Pink Grapefruit, it’s the perfect alternative to traditionally sweetened soft drinks.
