I guess few will know how the name Sinalco came about.
Unless you good in Latin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinalco

Sinalco is a popular brand of non-alcoholic drinks first marketed in 1902, with sales in now more than 40 countries. Sinalco is the oldest soft drink brand in Europe. It is produced by Sinalco International, a company headquartered in Duisburg, Germany.

In 1902, German scientist Friedrich Eduard Bilz invented "Bilz Brause", a sherbet powder, and started to sell it in partnership with industrialist Franz Hartmann. As imitations started to appear, they held a prize competition for a brand name, and chose "Sinalco" (an abbreviation of the Latin sine alcohole, "without alcohol"). As one of the first beverage brands, Sinalco came to be exported worldwide, particularly to South America and the Middle East. The red circle trademark was registered in 1937.

They could have stayed more popular but these aren’t dictated by drinkers preferences but rather the companies distribution networks. Whoever has the best distribution puts their drinks on the shelves.

True.!
Coca Cola is sold in every countries ,
except Cuba and N.Korea.

Bit of cola trivia from ah neh land. Coke withdrew from India in 1977, due to ultimatum to reveal the (secret?) recipe.
Some upstart came up with Thums Up, but Coke acquired this later

Another drink from the 70s that seemed to have disappeared from the shelves which left me a bitter taste in the mouth.

This old design definitely looks better than the current one. F&N should relook at their design

F&N carries the same range of mixers as Schweppes but Schweppes cans look better. How to fight?
