Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2014 -- Since the curfew was imposed and the lack of security in the streets is increasing, citizens, especially the young generation, opted to hang around by the kiosks close to their homes to kill the curfew hours imposed. 'Hanging out' is basically characterised by drinking a lot of soft drinks along with smoking cigarettes and sometimes eating snacks. This trend made the carbonates producers, like a lot of other soft drinks producers, pay attention to the new trend and discover a new selling channel. They started increasing their distribution through the small kiosks that were gradually eating up the shares of small grocery retailers and have proved to be successful. This led to an increase in sales, due to the frequency of the hang outs and the need to consume more than one drink in the outing.
