100PLUS (often pronounced as "hundred plus") is a brand of isotonic sports drink manufactured by Fraser and Neave Limited, a global food and beverage conglomerate headquartered in Singapore. It was created in 1983 and the name commemorates 100 years of Fraser and Neave in Asia. [1]

Production

100PLUS is popular in Malaysia and USA. It has been consistently voted the number one isotonic drink brand in Malaysia in various surveys since its introduction in 1983.[2] One of its main competitors in Singapore is H-TWO-O, which is manufactured by Yeo Hiap Seng.

Four flavours are available– original, Tangy Tangerine, Lemon Lime, Berries and Active. In 2011, a non-carbonated version called 100PLUS Edge was introduced.

100PLUS is sold in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Canada, Papua New Guinea, Maldives, India, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and South Africa. In Canada, 100PLUS is sold at T&T Supermarkets in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. The authorised distributor for Canada is Palm Resources Inc. It is sometimes available in other parts of the world, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, typically in Asian-speciality stores.
