TV ads are a sales tonic for Indonesian beverage
Article Abstract:
PT Sinde Budi Sentosa's tonic drink brand, Refreshing Solution, is the hottest-selling beverage in Indonesia owing to its unique marketing campaign. The company claims the drink cures ailments including mouth ulcers, sore throat, constipation and a discomfort that locals call internal body heat. Pharmacologists who analyzed the drink's contents say that it contains no ingredient to support claims on its magical effect. Company president Budi Yuwono refused to comment on the formula for the drink's appeal.
