Today's Headlines
**1. After 'Hotpot Herbal Tea', Wahaha Launches Another New Herbal Tea!** ▲▲▲
Following its 'Hotpot Herbal Tea', Wahaha has recently launched another new herbal tea product. See the image:
Yes, the image above shows Wahaha's new product—Songdu Herbal Tea, which has already been launched in parts of South China and Southwest China.
Songdu Herbal Tea is a traditional Chinese herbal plant-based beverage,主打 'clearing heat and reducing fire' effects. It is reported that Songdu Herbal Tea is produced by Hongsheng Group's Nanning company, marking its first production of canned herbal tea. Notably, this herbal tea was actually launched over a decade ago, mainly sold in some southern regions, then gradually faded from the market, and now it has been re-launched and put into production.
@热心公民: It seems Wahaha has a particular fondness for herbal tea.
**2. AB InBev's Bud Light Introduces Nutrition Labels** ▲▲▲
According to foreign media yesterday, AB InBev has introduced nutrition facts labels for its Bud Light in the US, along with a new secondary packaging design. The labels list ingredients as well as serving size, calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, carbohydrates, sugar, and protein.
For a long time, alcoholic beverages in the US have not included nutrition labels like other foods or drinks. However, some health advocates have urged manufacturers to provide ingredient information to make calories more transparent.
Alcoholic beverages are regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which in 2013 stipulated that wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages should voluntarily include nutrition information on product labels and in advertising. In 2016, the Beer Institute also announced that brewers must add calorie labels to all products by the end of 2020.
@一块儿去旅行: Whether consumers read it is their business; whether you put it on is yours!
**3. Luzhou Laojiao's High-Profile Australian Open Sponsorship Questioned** ▲▲▲
Another Chinese company has sponsored the ongoing Australian Open tennis tournament—Luzhou Laojiao. As a result, the former Court 2 at the 2019 Australian Open has been renamed Court 1573.
"Foreigners love watching the Australian Open but don't understand what Court 1573 means; locals don't recognize baijiu either, only Chinese people might drink it." It is reported that many foreign netizens are also confused and have asked questions about "Court 1573" on social media, showing that Luzhou Laojiao and its Guojiao 1573 brand are not well known abroad. Therefore, some have questioned whether the management team, including Chairman Liu Miao, is wasting money.
@魔法少年: The internationalization of baijiu still has a long way to go; let's wait for good news.
**4. Nestle US Launches Chocolate Coffee Creamer** ▲▲▲
According to foreign media today, Nestle US has launched two new flavors of coffee creamer: Snickers and Dove Almond Dark Chocolate. The 32-ounce (about 0.9 liters) bottles are priced at $3.59 (about RMB 24).
@热心公民小余: When will it come to China?
**5. Coca-Cola Introduces Two New Diet Coke Flavors** ▲▲▲
Coca-Cola has introduced two new Diet Coke flavors, hoping to maintain growth momentum after the brand's transformation in 2018.
The new flavors, Blueberry Acai and Strawberry Guava, were selected from 20 beverages and tested on over 2,000 Americans.
The new flavors join the existing Diet Coke lineup, which includes Ginger Lime, Cherry, Blood Orange, Mango, and Original.
**6. Lawson China Surpasses 2,000 Stores, Aims for 3,000 by 2020** ▲▲▲
On January 18, Lawson (China) Investment Co., Ltd. celebrated its 2,000th store in China, located at No. 193 Jinhui South Road in Shanghai, covering 5 provinces and 3 municipalities. In about two years since February 2017, the total number of Lawson stores has doubled, marking a glorious moment of surpassing 2,000 stores in China. Going forward, Lawson will continue to leverage the brand power and operational experience accumulated by its four subsidiaries in Shanghai, Chongqing, Dalian, and Beijing, and continue to expand cooperation models such as franchise and regional licensing, planning to increase the store count to 3,000 by 2020.
@听说她叫大头鱼: Can the goal of 10,000 stores by 2025 be achieved?
**7. Frozen Food Market Exceeds 120 Billion Yuan** ▲▲▲
Recently, global growth consulting firm Frost & Sullivan released the "China Frozen Food Industry Overview" report. The report shows that China's frozen food consumption is shifting from seasonal to daily consumption, with the market size rising from 82.8 billion yuan in 2013 to 123.5 billion yuan in 2017, a compound annual growth rate of 10.5%. During the same period, leveraging the rapid growth of the delivery market, demand for frozen food in delivery restaurants has grown rapidly, especially in formats like spicy hot pot, barbecue, maocai, and instant bento. Currently, over 90% of China's frozen food is still consumed at home, with less than 5% in the catering industry, indicating huge development space compared to developed countries.
**8. Not Just Coffee: Luckin Launches 'Boss Lunch' to Capture Business Meal Market** ▲▲▲
On January 18, Luckin Coffee announced the launch of its lunch series: Boss Lunch. In six cities—Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Tianjin—ordering is available via the Luckin Coffee app and WeChat mini-program, with a 6.6% discount for trial. Other cities will gradually roll out. The new Boss Lunch category is said to have been carefully prepared over 100 days. Currently, there are only four options: Sichuan-style chicken shred noodle set, cherry tomato grain box, tuna grain salad, and classic beef mashed potato salad. All four Boss Lunch items are stored at 0-5°C, transported via cold chain, and sold on the day of arrival.
@年年的主人: Luckin's ambition is not just to beat Starbucks!
