What is "mirinda"

Mirinda is a brand of soft drink originally created in Spain in 1959, with global distribution. The word Mirinda means "admirable" or "wonderful" in Esperanto.

It is available in fruit varieties including orange, citrus, grapefruit, apple, strawberry, raspberry, pineapple, pomegranate, banana, passionfruit, lemon, hibiscus, guarana, tangerine, watermelon and grape flavors as well as tamarind. It is part of a beverage area often referred to as the flavor segment, comprising carbonated and non-carbonated fruit-flavored beverages. The orange flavor of Mirinda now represents the majority of Mirinda sales worldwide following a major repositioning of the brand towards that flavor in the early 1990s.

Mirinda has been owned by PepsiCo since 1970 and is primarily commercialized outside United States. It competes with Coca-Cola's Fanta and Dr Pepper's Orange Crush or Sunkist brands, with flavour brands localized to individual countries. As with most soft drinks, Mirinda is available in multiple formulations of flavour, carbonation and sweetener depending on the taste of individual markets.
