I'm working on a series of poster/images for !buyoceanian@quokk.au - A comm for promoting NZ/Aus goods.

While I have a wide range of taste experiences with the Australian made side, I plan on making some for NZ brands as well. Can I please get some of your recommendations and suggestions. Thank you

L&P is owned by Coke 🙁

    Is it still made in NZ? All softdrinks are owned by Coke and Pepsi sadly, but at least L&P is uniquely NZ.

    Nah there are pleny of small places that make soft drink and aren't owned by coke or pepsi.

    The post is specifically asking for alternatives to US brand so I don't think this counts. Most of Coke's line is made in NZ but it's still a big US brand.

    That's fair, it's a shame though, it is a quintessential NZ drink.

    Try L&T (lemon and Te Aroha) if you haven’t already. It’s still uniquely kiwi and tastes great! It came out im the 1800s. Got discontinued for a few decades but is back and worth the switch.
