History

edit

Founded in 1989, Tampico Beverages began with just one flavor: Citrus Punch. By the early 1990s, they had secured their first international licensee in Mexico. The company continued to add flavors and work with licensees to add new package sizes and formats. Tampico now provides concentrate to licensees in over 50 countries.[3]

Products

edit

As of 2014, Tampico's products were as follows.[4] In the U.S., these are labeled as a type of soft drink with the word "punch". The words "fruit" or "juice" do not appear because the bulk consists of water, sugar, and flavoring, with only tiny proportions of fruit juice.[5]
