Qoo

Qoo

nihongo|Qoo|クー|Kū is a non-carbonated beverage from the Coca-Cola Company. Originally introduced in Japan in 1999, Qoo is now available throughout much of Asia in a variety of flavors including grape and orange. In Germany, the product line was discontinued in November 2005.

The name comes from the mascot's reaction to tasting the drink. The mascot was designed by Momoko Maruyama, who created "Deko Boko Friends". The Jingle, for the original Japanese version, is sung by Londell "Taz" Hicks, an American now living in Japan who also does the voice for the character Fo-Fo in "Deko Boko Friends"

Qoo is transliterated in Chinese as 酷兒 ("kù'ér"). It evokes images of “cool kid” since 酷 ("kù") is a transliteration of the English word cool and 兒 ("ér") means ‘child’ or ‘son’. However, in Taiwan, 酷兒 also happens to be the same transliteration as the English word queer referring to sexual orientation or gender identity.
