Pakola

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Introduction

Pakola is a popular beverage brand originating from Pakistan. It was first introduced in 1950 by Haji Ali Muhammad, making it one of the oldest brands in Pakistan. The brand is known for its unique green-colored ice cream soda flavor, which is a favorite among many Pakistanis both locally and internationally.

History

Pakola was launched on 14th August 1950, coinciding with Pakistan's Independence Day. The brand was the brainchild of Haji Ali Muhammad, who wanted to create a beverage that was uniquely Pakistani. The name "Pakola" is a combination of "Pak" from Pakistan and "Cola". Despite its name, Pakola is not a cola-flavored drink but an ice cream soda.

Products

Pakola offers a variety of flavors including the original Ice Cream Soda, Lychee, Raspberry, Vino, and Orange. The brand also expanded its product line to include Pakola Milk, a flavored milk drink, and Pakola Jelly, a dessert product.

Popularity

Pakola is not only popular in Pakistan but also has a significant following among the Pakistani diaspora. It is exported to over 30 countries including the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, and the Middle East. The unique taste of Pakola has made it a favorite among many, and it is often associated with nostalgia for home among overseas Pakistanis.

Production

The production of Pakola is managed by Mehran Bottlers Pvt Ltd, a company also founded by Haji Ali Muhammad. The company has two manufacturing plants in Karachi and one in Multan. The production process involves the mixing of the unique Pakola syrup with carbonated water, followed by bottling and packaging.

Conclusion

Pakola is more than just a beverage; it is a symbol of national pride and nostalgia for many Pakistanis. Its unique flavor and green color make it stand out among other soft drinks. Despite the emergence of many new beverage brands, Pakola continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many Pakistanis around the world.
