History
The company originated in the early 1900s by Spencer Cottee who processed passionfruit in Lismore into the Passiona soft drink brand. A factory was opened in Leichhardt in the 1930s.
Apart from Passiona, the most popular Cottees carbonated soft drinks were Tango (orange), and Coola (lime), with other flavours including lemon, cola, and lemonade. The brand's popularity reached its zenith in the 1960s. Cottee's Coola flavour is the most popular cordial in Australia.[1]
In 1975, the company was acquired by the American company General Foods, and in 1984 by Cadbury Schweppes.[2] Schweppes Australia was acquired by Asahi Breweries in 2009.
