Sparkling water brand SodaStream has rolled out a series of limited edition bottles in celebration of Pride Month.

The 'Love is Love' bottles portray same-sex families by including two 'parent' one-litre bottles and one 'child' half-litre bottles imprinted with depictions of family characters from an accompanying animated video.

SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum said the company was committed to forging and celebrating bonds across all nationalities, religions and sexual orientations.

"We hope this campaign will inspire communication and help us all join together to spread a message of love,” he said.

The home-shaped package has been designed to convey the message that “home is where your love is”.

The video, found here, depicts a man and woman spending an ordinary day in the park with two small girls, playing on swings and sharing ice cream cones. 

Viewers see the two adults comforting one of the children who fell down. The camera then shows all four characters returning home. The man and woman eventually part ways to two separate houses and embrace their respective spouses, revealing the adults are actually two same-sex couples with one child each.

The limited-edition bottles are sold exclusively online and retail for $24.99.

Food & Drink Business

Inghams has returned to volume growth with reduced dependence on Woolworths but net profit fell 61.5 per cent to $34.6 million as input cost inflation, first half production inefficiencies and a tax provision weighed on FY26 earnings.

Endeavour Group’s decision to reset shelf prices at Dan Murphy’s has restored sales momentum but taken a heavy toll on earnings, with annual profit down 87.8 per cent to $52 million for FY26 after $372 million in pre-tax significant items covering restructuring, asset writedowns and the exit from its winery portfolio.

Food and beverage businesses that delay adopting AI, precision agriculture, digital modelling and fermentation technologies risk being locked out of the commercial opportunities attached to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a new perspective paper from Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA) says.
