Afri-Cola beverage

Afri-Cola is a legendary German cola brand that was first registered in 1931 by F. Blumhoffer Nachfolger GmbH. Its iconic bottle design, shaped like a palm tree, was created in the 1930s and has since become a cult symbol in European beverage history, particularly gaining massive popularity during the 1960s with its 'Sexy-mini-super-flower-pop-op-cola' marketing campaign.

Historically, the brand faced stiff competition from international giants like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, leading to its decline in the late 20th century. However, it was revitalized in the late 1990s and 2000s under new ownership. Today, the brand is owned by Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach GmbH & Co. KGaA. While the syrup and brand rights are managed centrally, the product is bottled by various regional licensed partners across Germany and several international markets.
