| Inca Kola - Peru's #1 soft drink |
[26 Mar 2006|06:30am] |

History
Less than one hundred years ago, the Lindley family arrived from Great Britain to Lima Peru, and began producing soft drinks. In 1928, the family formed the company known as Fábrica de Aguas Gasificadas "Santa Rosa" de José R. Lindley e Hijos S.A. In 1935, on the occasion of the four hundred year centenary of the founding of the city of Lima, the company introduced the carbonated soft drink Inca Kola. The product launch made use of all the advertising media available at the time, with the slogan "Inca Kola solo hay una y no se parece a ninguna." By the 1970's, Inca Kola could be found everywhere in Peru, as befits a product that was positioned as a national product from the beginning, with advertising slogans such as "Es Nuestra" and "De Sabor Nacional." These days, Inca Kola can be found all over the world.

What is it made of?
