What is Lemonsoda?
Lemonsoda is a type of soft drink that has bubbles, also known as a carbonated drink. It's famous for its bright, zesty lemon flavor. Over the years, the brand has added many other exciting flavors to its collection.
The Story of Lemonsoda
How Lemonsoda Began
The very first Lemonsoda drink was, of course, lemon flavored. It quickly became a favorite in Italy. After a while, the company introduced two new flavors: Oransoda, which tasted like orange, and Pelmosoda, which had a grapefruit flavor. These new drinks helped the brand grow even more.
Changing Hands and New Ideas
In 1980, the Lemonsoda brand was sold to a company called Crodo. Later, in 1999, Crodo became part of a larger group known as the Campari Group. This change brought new opportunities for Lemonsoda. For example, during the 2003-2004 football season, Lemonsoda became the official sponsor of the Lecce football club, which meant their name was shown during games.
New Flavors and Modern Twists
In 2005, a new drink called Tonicsoda was launched. It was a tonic water drink, which is a bit different from the usual sweet sodas. Then, in 2010, Lemonsoda introduced two more exciting versions. One was Lemonsoda Zero, a sugar-free option for those who wanted less sugar. The other was Mojitosoda, a special non-alcoholic drink that tasted like a mojito cocktail, with lemon and mint flavors.
Lemonsoda Today
The Lemonsoda brand continued to be very popular. In October 2017, it was sold again, this time to Royal Unibrew for 80 million Euro. Royal Unibrew is a big company that owns many drink brands. This means Lemonsoda is still enjoyed by many people today, nearly 80 years after it was first created!
