China Cola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China Cola is a non-alcoholic beverage manufactured by Hangzhou Wahaha Group of China, where it holds a 7% market share, making it the third-largest manufacturer of fizzy soft drinks in China behind Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola.
In China it is sold under the English name Future Cola (Chinese: 非常可乐; Pinyin:FēiCháng Kĕle), the patriotic by-line "The Chinese people's own cola", and with the slogan 'the future will be better'. It is marketed as "a healthy way to cool off the Chinese youngsters and clean out their fiery livers".
Through Wahaha's extensive distribution network, Future Cola dominates rural China and its second- and third-line cities. Sales in 2003 amounted to 620 million litres, approximately 35% and 70% of the volumes of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola respectively
Since 2001, China Cola has been sold and manufactured in the United States by Reed's, Inc. Despite good reviews, it retains a low market share. A version with cherry flavor is also sold.
