Laoshan Cola (Chinese: 崂山可乐) is a brand of cola soft drink produced by Qingdao Beverages Group Co., Ltd.[1] First introduced in 1953, it was the most popular of China's eight major cola brands until it was purchased by the Coca-Cola Company in the 1990s.[2] In 1997, Coca-Cola discontinued the production of Laoshan Cola.
Qingdao Laoshan Mineral Water Company purchased the brand in March 2004 and invested in imported machinery to resume production. Laoshan Cola was re-introduced in 2008, but faced with competition from Coca-Cola and Pepsi, never regained its former market share.[2]
