În ce oraș din România se producea Cico, faimoasa „Fanta românească” din regimul comunist? Ce însemna numele? • Newsweek România
Cico, a popular soft drink in communist Romania, was produced in six factories in Bucharest, particularly in Militari. Launched in the 1960s at the request of Ion Ceaușescu, it became a symbol of the era, with daily production reaching 600,000 bottles. The name 'Cico' derived from 'Citrice' and 'Cola', and it was made using concentrates imported from Greece and Israel. Despite its limited shelf life of about seven days, Cico was favored for its sweet taste and citrus aroma. After 1990, it struggled against Western brands but remains a nostalgic memory for many.
