In August 2017, a new Minute Maid juice drink has made its debut in Thailand as Minute Maid Vita Kids (มินิท เมด ไวตา คิดส์) and in Indonesia as Minute Maid Homestyle. The brand message is all about the goodness inside (ie the goodness inside the orange) and this is expressed through the happy facial expression of the individuals in the television commercial. “When you feel good inside, it shines.”

What Mini Me thinks
Minute Maid is well known for its pulpy juice drink. The new Minute Maid Homestyle, Minute Maid Vita Kids and Minute Maid Refresh juice drinks will provide consumers with a non-pulpy juice option. The Minute Maid Vita Kids provides an added-value option with minerals and vitamins.
