Kirks soft drink and Frantelle spring water

This image features two prominent Australian beverage brands: Kirks and Frantelle.

Kirks is a heritage Australian soft drink brand with roots dating back to 1865 in Queensland. Historically a collection of regional bottlers including names like Shelleys and Gest, the brands were unified under the Kirks name in 2000. While once owned by Coca-Cola Amatil, the brand was sold to The Coca-Cola Company (USA) in 2022 following the acquisition of Amatil by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. It continues to be manufactured locally in Australia to maintain its traditional flavor profiles like Pasito and Creaming Soda.

Frantelle is a popular Australian bottled spring water brand. It was originally part of the P&N Beverages portfolio before being acquired by Asahi Beverages in 2011. Today, Frantelle is owned by the Japanese multinational Asahi Group Holdings and is managed through its Australian subsidiary, Asahi Beverages (formerly Schweppes Australia). The water is sourced from natural springs within Australia and is bottled locally.
