Solo (Norwegian soft drink)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solo is an orange-flavoured soft drink, owned by the Norwegian companies Ringnes, Oskar Sylte, Aass, and Mack.[1] The recipe was originally Swedish, and brought to the Tønsberg Bryggeri by Torleif Gulliksrud in 1934. Solo quickly became the Norway's most popular soft drink, and until the 1960s was bigger than Coca-Cola in Norway.[2][3] In 1999, Pepsi passed Solo in market share, leaving Solo as third most popular.[4]
As of 2005, Solo has a seven percent share of the Norwegian soft drink market. Variants of the original Solo include Solo Lett (diet version), Solo Super and Solrik (juice).
In 2011 Solo considered marketing in USA. [1]
