History of Panda

Panda drinks were first launched in the early 1970s. Since then we've gone through a few changes...

1992
Panda drinks undergo a review with the conclusion that Panda drinks in cans should be for adults, while Panda in plastic bottles should be for kids. The iconic 70s panda is removed from the cans so they have less kid-appeal.
