| has gloss | eng: Gold Spot was a popular orange-flavored soft drink in India until 1993. The brand was owned by Parle, but was sold to Coca-Cola when it re-entered the Indian market in 1993. Gold Spot had a catchy punch line - The Zing Thing. Gold Spot was withdrawn from the market in order to make space for Coca-Cola's Fanta brand. However the brand has a good following in the rural areas especially in Maharshatra, to keep the brand alive, Gold Spot is sold as a soda in these markets. Gold spot was introduced in India because foreign brands were not permitted to trade with India. Their governments had not permitted them because India did not sign two unfair treaties. So, many other countries refused to trade with India. |
