Yoli facts for kids
Yoli is a popular lime-flavored soda that comes from Mexico. For a long time, you could only find this refreshing drink in the state of Guerrero and the areas nearby. It was a special local favorite!
Yoli is known for its bright yellow color and its sweet, tangy lime taste. Some people say it tastes like a less watery version of Sprite.
The Story of Yoli
Yoli was first made way back in 1918 in a town called Taxco, which is in Guerrero, Mexico. A company called "La Vencedora" (which means "The Victorious One") started making it. Yoli was their very first soda, and it quickly became a big hit in the area.
As Yoli became more popular, the company that made it, Grupo Yoli, grew too. In 1938, they even got permission to bottle Coca-Cola drinks in Acapulco. This helped Yoli become even more well-known.
Yoli's Expansion
For many years, Yoli remained a local secret. But in December 2008, the soda started to be sold in new cities like Toluca and Cuernavaca. This was a big step for the drink!
Later, in 2013, a large company called FEMSA (which is one of the biggest Coca-Cola bottlers in the world) bought Grupo Yoli. This purchase was completed in May 2013. This meant that FEMSA could now make Yoli soda, and it also allowed the old Grupo Yoli factories to bottle other popular drinks like Coca-Cola and Fanta.
After FEMSA bought Yoli, they were able to share the soda with even more people in different parts of Mexico.
Where Yoli is Made Today
Today, Yoli soda is still produced in Mexico. It is made in two special factories that used to belong to Grupo Yoli. These factories work hard to make sure Yoli keeps its unique taste for everyone to enjoy!
