Simply Spiked Peach brings flavor to Canada with the launch of a new Peach-flavored variety pack. To introduce their Signature Peach, Strawberry Peach, and Kiwi Peach flavors to Canada, Simply Spiked invites older generations to text the Ask Gen-Z hotline - 1-855-691-GENZ - for advice on adding the juiciest emojis to their text conversations while avoiding the unfortunate mistake of sending a poorly placed to friends and loved ones.

Simply Spiked Launches Peach Flavour, Helps Canadians Peach Responsibly with Ask Gen-Z Hotline

To gain a better understanding for the potential market, a survey was conducted by Simply of Canadians 60+ and the results uncovered some interesting insights: a staggering 96% of Canadians who are 60 years old and older do not perceive the peach emoji as carrying any suggestive connotations. This discrepancy in interpretation could lead to the transmission of some rather captivating messages by older adults. Moreover, the survey findings revealed that a concerning 33% of Canadian Generation Z members have encountered unsuitable messages as a consequence of the improper use of either the peach or eggplant emojis!

"Last year was the first time Simply Spiked was available in the Canadian market, and we made our mark by creating a brand that was the arbiter of juicy truths, and this year is no different,” said Jeanene Miniaci, Senior Marketing Manager, Flavour & Seltzers. "With Peach Responsibly, finding the insight that older generations didn’t immediately recognize the peach emoji’s double meaning was so interesting that we felt it could connect intergenerational Canadians and bring our new offering to market in a fun and dynamic way."
