Its most popular drink is its [[mango]] fruit drink.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Maaza {{!}} Maaza Mango Juice Drink Products|url=https://www.coca-colaindia.com/maaza-brand-new|access-date=2021-04-20|website=The Coca-Cola Company|language=en-IN}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> [[File:Maaza bottles.jpg|thumb|Maaza bottles]]<br /> The Union Beverages Factory, based in the [[UAE]], began selling it as a franchisee in the Middle East and Africa in 1976. By 1995, it had acquired rights to the Maaza brand in these countries through Maaza International Co. LLC [[Dubai]]. Maaza was launched in 1976 in India and was acquired by [[Coca-Cola]] India in 1993 from [[Parle Bisleri]] along with other brands such as [[Limca]], [[Citra (India)|Citra]], [[Thums Up]] and [[Gold Spot]]. Maaza was acquired by House of Spices in 2005 for the North American market. In 2006 Infra Foodbrands acquired Maaza for the European, Caribbean and West-African market and cooperates with House of Spices for the North American market.<br /> <br /> == Infra Foodbrands ==<br /> '''Infra Foodbrands''' started distribution of Maaza in 1998 in Europe, West-Africa, North America, Canada and the Caribbean. Infra Foodbrands is the owner of the Maaza brand since 2006 and exports to 33 countries.<br /> <br /> ==Products==<br /> Initially, Coca-Cola had also launched Maaza with orange and pineapple fruit drinks in addition to their mango drink, but these variants were subsequently dropped. Coca-Cola later re-launched these variants in the Indian market.<br /> <br /> Maaza's mango drink competes with Pepsi's '''Slice''' brand of mango drink and '''[[Frooti]]''', manufactured by [[Parle Agro]].<br /> <br /> While Frooti was sold in small cartons, Maaza and Slice were initially sold in returnable bottles. However, all brands are also now available in small cartons and large [[Polyethylene terephthalate|PET]] bottles.<br /> <br /> Maaza has a distinct pulpy taste as compared to Frooti and tastes slightly sweeter than Slice. Maaza claims to contain mango pulp of the [[alphonso (mango)|Alphonso]] variety, which is known as the &quot;King of Mangoes&quot; in India.<br /> <br /> Maaza is a popular household name in Dubai.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * {{Official website}}<br /> * [https://www.maaza.com/ maaza Dubai website]<br /> <br /> {{Coca-Cola brands}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Juice brands]]<br /> [[Category:Indian drink brands]]<br /> [[Category:Coca-Cola brands]]<br /> [[Category:Products introduced in 1976]]</div>
