Tanora
Tanora is a tangerine flavoured carbonated drink sold in the Republic of Ireland, predominantly in Munster.[1] It was introduced by John Daly & Co, a mineral water bottler in Cork city.[2] The brand is owned by Coca Cola Bottlers Ireland, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Hellenic.[3] Tanora is packaged in 2-litre and 500ml plastic bottles[1]. It is also available in 330ml cans, but these are being withdrawn from June 2010; 200ml glass bottles (for the licensed trade) have already been withdrawn, both due to lack of demand[4].
In 1969, Stephen Barrett described his childhood liking for Tanora, "then, as now, the modish choice among those on the threshold of life".[5] When Denis Irwin was playing for Manchester United, his mother would send him Tanora and Tayto crisps from Cork.[6] In the play Disco Pigs, Pig orders "Two Battur burgurs! Two Sauce! Two Chips! Two Peas! Two Tanora!".[7]
In April 2010 it was announced that Tanora would no longer be available in the 200ml glass pub bottle or 330ml cans due to falling sales. The product would continue to be available in 500ml and 2l plastic bottles though[8].

Overall CCBI reckons that it has a 45% share of the total Irish carbonated soft drinks market, up from about 35% in 1986. In addition to Coke and 7-Up it also has the Fanta, also a Coca-Cola brand, franchise in Ireland where it has about 2.5% of the market and its own Tanora brand.
