Solo's Journey to Popularity
When Solo first came out, it quickly became Norway's favorite soft drink. It was even more popular than Coca-Cola in Norway for many years, right up until the 1960s!
However, over time, other drinks became more popular. In 1999, Pepsi started selling more drinks than Solo. This made Solo the third most popular soft drink in Norway.
As of 2005, Solo had about seven percent of the soft drink market in Norway. This means that for every 100 soft drinks sold, about seven of them were Solo.
Solo in Other Countries
Solo isn't just popular in Norway! It also has a history in Sweden. Today, a company called Vasa Bryggeri makes Solo in a city called Sundsvall.
