The return of a beloved Australian soft drink brand has sparked widespread excitement among consumers. Halls soft drinks, originally founded in South Australia in 1849, are slated to make their comeback, with shipments of their flavored beverages expected to commence before December. Anticipation for their return has been palpable on social media.
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas contributed to the excitement by sharing a photo of Halls soft drink cartons on his Facebook page. The post has garnered over 3,400 views and nearly 1,000 comments, underscoring the strong demand for the iconic brand.
Halls soft drinks were beloved for 149 years before they were discontinued decades ago after being acquired by Coca-Cola in 1972. However, Adelaide businessman Cameron Ballard has managed to revive the brand by securing the Halls trademark from Coca-Cola. In April, a bottling facility in Willunga was secured, and production is expected to commence in the coming weeks.
This exciting development marks the return of a cherished Australian soft drink brand, offering consumers a taste of nostalgia and a refreshing option for the summer months.
