The Favourites range covers Blackcurrant, Lemonade, Mango Orange, Pineapple, Raspberry, Sweet Navel Orange and Tropical. There is an Island Groove mix as well, plus standalone Lemonade and Raspberry drink mixes. One sachet makes a full jug. You stir the powder into cold water, so there is nothing else to buy. That makes it an easy one to buy several of.
The name comes from Rarotonga. Raro is one of those things that has not changed, and Kiwis who grew up on it can taste immediately when a drink powder is not it.
For a lot of Kiwis abroad this is a childhood taste rather than a grocery item. It is the orange jug at a birthday party, and it is hard to find anywhere else.
Sachets weigh almost nothing, which makes them the easiest thing to add to a box of drinks and treats without pushing it past 2 kg.
A sachet weighs almost nothing. A year of them still barely registers in a box, which is unusual for anything in the drinks aisle.
