Twist away the summer heat

With summer season still upon us, make the most of your sunny days by adding a twist to your usual pursuits. Coffee Twist, the delicious ready-to-drink coffee drink from Universal Robina Corporation (URC), counts the ways to put a cool new spin on summer activities.

Help out on a holiday
Summer is road trip season, and while planning your itinerary, consider including a meaningful twist. Check out non-profit organizations or outreach programs based in your target holiday destination, and lend a helping hand while you’re in town. Take a few hours to meet the locals, find out about the issues and needs that are relevant to them – and bring home a worthwhile experience, instead of just souvenirs. After an uplifting session, share a Coffee Twist with your newfound friends and enjoy the long talks and happy banter.

Learn a new language
Soak up the culture and history of another country by learning to speak in their mother tongue. Various cultural centers and language learning facilities offer special summer courses that provide basic conversational skills for the savvy traveler. Help keep your mind sharp by drinking Coffee Twist, for just the right caffeine rush that can help you stay awake and alert for each lesson.

Be an urban nomad
If you can’t go out of the city for a summer escapade, then it’s time to explore the urban jungle. Take a different route – leave the car at home and commute. Or if you take public transport, perhaps a walking tour is in order. Check out the walking tours organized by Carlos Celdran or Ivan Man Dy and rediscover Manila. Revel in the everyday sights and sounds that you take for granted. See the world from a new perspective. After a day of exploration, wind down with an ice-cold bottle of Coffee Twist, be it in Classic, Hazelnut or Orange flavor.

Fly a kite
Nothing spells freedom more than a brisk run in an open field, kite in hand, and the afternoon breeze in your hair. Kites can be bought in all colors, shapes, and sizes, but for those feeling nostalgic, try making it by hand, with barbecue sticks and Japanese paper. Pack a picnic while you’re at it, with your favorite snacks and Coffee Twist, and enjoy the sunset after your kite run. Whatever summer activity you choose, Coffee Twist is the ideal drinking companion. The most energizing way to stay refreshed, Coffee Twist is available at a suggested retail price of P10.50 per bottle in leading supermarkets, groceries, convenience stores, and gas stations nationwide.

Enjoy the holiday rush with a twist

The holidays are just around the corner and as part of the Yuletide tradition, the season comes with people’s heightened passion for shopping. As the streets start to light up with festive decorations, so do the eyes of shoppers as they set their sights on bargains galore. To help them keep up with the Christmas rush, URC Coffee Twist shares these energizing tips.

Shop early, eat breakfast. Go to the shopping center as soon as it opens and get first dibs on all the amazing offerings. But before braving the bargain jungle, make sure that you are well-geared up by eating a healthy breakfast to keep you fueled throughout the shopping day. Smell a tree or something citrus. This helps to reinvigorate you so you can complete that Christmas list.

Take a moment to take deep breaths. Inhaling and exhaling longer increases the oxygen levels in our bloodstream, relaxing the body. This helps you to focus more, especially when you’re overwhelmed with all the wonderful Christmas deals and displays. Rest to relax. When your feet are already sore from too much mall-roaming, sit on the nearest chair and let your muscles rest and relax a bit. After a few minutes, you’ll be ready for more shopping.

Do the twist. Spread your arms wide. Exhale and turn your upper body to the right and inhale to go back to the center. Repeat this on the left side. This simple stretch will help tired back muscles—sore from supporting armfuls of purchases—feel better. Drink the twist. Giving shoppers an energized shopping experience is the delicious instant booster, Coffee Twist. It’s a refreshing ready-to-drink iced-coffee that offers drinkers a rejuvenated feeling with its delicious aroma and full-bodied coffee taste.

Coffee Twist comes in Classic, Hazelnut and Orange flavors. The Classic flavor is for those who want their coffee sweet and black with a twist, the Hazelnut flavor is for those who love their coffee sweet and nutty, and the Orange flavor is for those who want their coffee a little tangy in taste. Invigorating, convenient and affordable, it comes in 230ml sip-and-seal bottles for just P9. So complete your Christmas adventures with Coffee Twist for that amazing shopping experience with a twist. Available in leading supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, and gas stations nationwide.
