Popular and Unique Soft Drinks From Around the World - Part 2

By Queuebot in Food & Drinks on Jun 3, 2009 at 6:22 am


This is part 2 to the soft drinks from around the world that was published earlier. Makes me miss Moxie and Vernors.

Vegitabeta. VegitaBeta is an orange-colored soft drink consisting primarily of water and sugar. The product contains 3mg of beta-carotene per 100ml serving; an entire bottle contains 4.8mg. Although the product contains less than 10% juice, the label is filled with pictures of vegetables such as carrots, and fruits such as oranges, apples, acerola, and, prunes that naturally contain beta-carotene. The label states “Easy way to obtain nutrition,” “VegitaBeta is a health-supporting drink that uses five materials [vegetables and fruits].” The beverage carries the trade mark “Daily Care” with an explanation that “Daily Care is a symbol of products that support a healthy lifestyle.” While VegitaBeta contains a small amount of juice from vegetables and fruits that contain beta-carotene, the 4.8 mg of beta carotene in one bottle of the beverage is added in supplement form according to company officials.

    I couldn't get a drink called Vegitabeta without thinking of the old I Love Lucy routine where she sells Vitameatavegamin!

    Miss Vernors? It's still around. I get a six-pack once a month from the local grocery store.

    Vegiabeta is a Coke product and you can taste it for free in their pavillion in EPCOT. It's not TOO sweet, but it's no V8!

    Vegitabeta may be free at the Coke pavillion in EPCOT -but I do not see myself traveling to Florida for a dixie cup of soda.

    It appears though that most of my suggestions made that "part 2". :)

    Ah Swiss Rivella! A good addition. For 'Popular and Unique Soft Drinks From Around the World - Part 3' try adding Ricqles :

    If you visit France on a hot summer always ask for a mint-powered refreshing Ricqles!

    I fell in love with Inca Kola during a trip to Peru and managed to find some at a South America import store where I live. It's delicious!
