About Chubby

Chubby is S.M. Jaleel's flagship: a carbonated soft drink launched in 1993 and aimed squarely at children aged four to nine, sold in a short, patented PET bottle designed for small hands. It is the brand that took the company beyond the Caribbean — franchised to Cott Corporation in 1999, sold into Canada the same year, then into Brazil through a joint venture and into Mexico through a franchise agreement with Mundet in 2006 — and it is still the name the company leads with, in flavours such as Reggae Red and Blue Crush.
