L&P
L&P (also known as Lemon & Paeroa) is a popular soft drink in New Zealand. It was originally produced in 1907 by combining lemon juice with carbonated mineral water from the town of Paeroa, hence the name. Today, it is manufactured by Coca-Cola.
History[edit | edit source]
L&P was first created in 1907 by Robert Graham, a local of Paeroa. He combined lemon juice with carbonated mineral water from a local spring to create a refreshing beverage. The drink quickly gained popularity and was soon being sold throughout New Zealand. In 1963, the brand was acquired by Coca-Cola, who continue to produce the drink today.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of L&P are carbonated water, lemon juice, and sugar. The original recipe also included mineral water from the Paeroa spring, but this is no longer used in the current formulation. Despite this, the drink still retains its distinctive lemony flavor.
Popularity[edit | edit source]
L&P is often referred to as "World Famous in New Zealand", a slogan that has been used in its advertising since the 1990s. The drink is a staple in many New Zealand households and is often associated with Kiwi culture. It is also exported to several countries, including Australia and the UK.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
L&P has had a significant cultural impact in New Zealand. The town of Paeroa has a large L&P bottle landmark, and the drink is often featured in New Zealand pop culture. It is also a common ingredient in Kiwi cuisine, used in recipes for cakes, cocktails, and other dishes.
