Aquafina Soda Sparkling

Aquafina Soda Sparkling is a carbonated water product under the globally recognized Aquafina brand. While the brand is most famous for its purified still water, it expanded into the carbonated segment to compete with other major sparkling water and club soda brands. The 'Soda' variant is typically a carbonated water often containing small amounts of minerals like sodium bicarbonate or potassium sulfate to provide a distinct crispness and effervescence, making it suitable both for direct consumption and as a mixer for cocktails.

Originally launched in Wichita, Kansas, in 1994, Aquafina has since grown into a massive international label. The product is manufactured through a localized production model; PepsiCo utilizes a network of regional bottling plants and joint ventures across the globe. For instance, in Southeast Asia, it is produced through entities like Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam, while in other regions, it is handled by local PepsiCo subsidiaries or licensed franchise bottlers. This decentralized manufacturing ensures that the product can be distributed efficiently in over 200 countries and territories.

The brand is owned by PepsiCo, Inc., an American multinational food and beverage corporation. PepsiCo was formed in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay and has since become one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. In addition to its own manufacturing facilities, PepsiCo frequently partners with international distributors and local bottling groups to manage the production and logistics of the Aquafina portfolio globally.
