The new Kazouza in town!

By on September 30, 2009 in Lebanon

I was at Idriss Supermarket (Hamra) few days ago when I noticed a new soft drink on the shelves, and the brand name is “Kazouza”. I’m sure you have heard the word “kazouz” before, referring to carbonated soft drinks, so here you go a Kazouza!

Kazouza

I personally liked the name and the design of the bottle. However, the producers claim to have existed since 1941, do you have any info about that? Darine from Identity Chef blog is also wondering about it!

    Maybe it refers to when the song first came out,
    “mashrabsh el shai, ashrab kazouza ana” :)

    BTW @fredshadian & my boss said that there was nothing called kazouza during tehir childhood there were two brands RC & jalloul they were generally referred to as Kazouza.. so I am guessing they wanted to instill nostalgia in the babyboom generation.

    @Darine
    Just as my parents told me too, nothing called kazouza, only RC & Jalloul.
    I think the producers meant that they themselves have been existing since 1941, and not the brand name “Kazouza”

    Anyway, I tested it (the lemon one). I loved this chemical taste, but I still prefer the good old crush in its dark/orange bottle.

    Hello friends,

    I’m an AUB business senior. I found this new Lebanese product interesting “kazouza”.
    So could you please support me with enough info about it. For example, what is the name of the company, whose producing it? Where I can find it? Is the company doing any advertising campaigns? Any thing!

    Thank you all, in advance,
    Best Regards!
    Hasan

    The producer of this product is Cedar’s premium. They are the previous owners of the Najm company ( since 1941) and used to own pampa. kazouza is the new version of Kazouza Najm that was the main competitor of jalloul even before RC cola.
    Hope that helped :)
