For many, the iconic Halls soft drink brand evokes fond childhood memories.
The classic flavours of Halls Lemonade, Lemon Twist and Fruita in those nostalgic glass bottles can instantly take people back to simpler times.
First founded in 1849 by George Hall in Marryatville, Halls drinks were a local staple for over a century before being discontinued in 2000, much to the disappointment of generations of loyal drinkers.
But now, after years of hoping for its return, Halls is finally coming back!
Production has restarted on those cherished old favourites, which will hit shelves again in the coming months. The 330mL varieties are currently being made, with 1L bottles soon to follow after.
To help revive this iconic local brand, the South Australian state government has contributed $500,000 in funding through the Thriving Regions Fund for the Halls bottling facility in Willunga.
Premier Peter Malinauskas shared his enthusiasm, saying 'I, like many South Australians, have fond memories of Halls soft drinks, and I know many will leap at the chance to get another taste of Fruita, Lemon Twist or Halls Lemonade.'
In other news, fans of soft drinks are excited over Coca-Cola’s latest innovation.
Their cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology was used to craft their limited-edition Y3000 Zero Sugar flavour by processing huge datasets of consumer preferences, regional tastes and ingredient combinations being analysed by AI algorithms.
This data-driven approach allowed Coca-Cola’s engineers to determine the most promising flavour profiles for customers.
The AI technology ran countless simulations and iterations to develop the perfect concoction. Factors such as sweetness, fizziness and aftertaste were all considered when crafting this unique flavour.
Coca-Cola's representative said this was 'an experience designed to cater to the ever-evolving tastes of consumers'.
