Brau 2008: Mix, Drink, Enjoy – TwinCan combines fun and enjoyment

At the Brau Beviale, Ball Packaging Europe is presenting a new application for the TwinCan in which Conelly Cocktails are already being successfully marketed.

Nuremberg, 12th November 2008. Whether cocktails or fruit mix drinks – with the TwinCan consumers are able to mix their favourite drink on the go. The TwinCan is intended for drinks comprising two components which are mixed immediately prior to enjoyment in order to guarantee maximum freshness and flavour.

At the Brau Beviale, Ball Packaging Europe is now presenting its own creation: a yoghurt mix drink with berry juice. The two drink components are in two separate cans joined together by a plastic ring, the so-called can connector. When the contents of the two cans are mixed, the red fruit juice forms a decorative and appetising swirl in the white yoghurt drink - the Ball Berry Swirl. 

The TwinCan is already being successfully marketed in Germany and Austria, where it contains Conelly Cocktails, which are available in five variants: Tequila Sunrise, Sex on the Beach, Ladykiller, Mai Tai and Planters Punch. 

You are cordially invited to try a fruity Ball Berry Swirl –on the Ball Packaging Europe stand in Hall 4, Stand 109 at the Brau Beviale.
