Question: Tamarindo is a flavor of a popular soft drink company owned by which company?
Context: Nichols plc, based in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, England, is a company well known for its lead brand Vimto, a fruit flavoured cordial.  The company can trace its roots back to the invention of Vimto, by John Noel Nichols in 1908.  Today the company operates two types of businesses, firstly the sale of Vimto and other brands (such as Panda Pops, which Nichols acquired from Hall & Woodhouse in 2005) via supermarkets and associated outlets throughout the world and secondly its soft drink dispense operation in the UK.  The soft drink operation is handled under the name of Cabana and is the UK's largest independent supplier of dispensed soft drinks.  Due to its success of the Vimto soft drink, Nichols plc started selling Vimto chews and Vimto chew bars. Manzanita Sol is a brand of apple-flavored soft drinks owned by PepsiCo and is predominant in Mexico.  In the United States it is sold in 12-pack cans, 2-liter, and 20-ounce bottles.  The drink is known to be available at Walmart, Albertsons, H-E-B, Ralphs, Kmart, Food 4 Less, Jewel-Osco, Dominick's, Target, Vons, Stater Bros., United Supermarkets in the Amarillo and Lubbock, Texas area, and other smaller chains and smaller family run stores.  In Latin American countries, Manzanita Sol will compete with The Coca-Cola Company's Manzana Lift.  Manzanita Sol is PepsiCo's number two brand in Mexico, with apple being Mexico's second most popular soft drink flavor.  It is also very popular in the borderlands such as the El Paso/Juarez border. Solo is an orange-flavoured soft drink, owned by the Norwegian companies Ringnes, Oskar Sylte, Aass, and Mack.  The recipe was originally Spanish, and brought to the Tønsberg Bryggeri by Torleif Gulliksrud in 1934.  Solo quickly became Norway's most popular soft drink, and until the 1960s was bigger than Coca-Cola in Norway.  In 1999, Pepsi passed Solo in market share, leaving Solo as third most popular. Jarritos is a popular brand of soft drink in Mexico, founded in 1950 by Don Francisco "El Güero" Hill and now owned by Novamex, a large independent-bottling conglomerate based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, property of the Hill & ac.  Co. although it is also distributed in some areas of Mexico by the Pepsi Bottling Group or Cott. Agua de tamarindo is an agua fresca drink typically served throughout Latin America.  It is made from tamarind (a legume: tamarindus indica) after it has been boiled in water, has had its seeds removed, and has been liquefied and combined with sugar.  It is typically sold at taquerías in Mexico, and central and south American restaurants.  It has gained popularity also in the United States and elsewhere.  Tamarindo is also sold as a flavor of soda, the first of which was produced by the company Jarritos. Sim was born in Aberlour, Scotland in 1840.  He relocated to London in his youth, and received a post as a pharmacist at the Royal London Hospital in 1862.  In 1866, he volunteered for an overseas assignment, and was sent to the Royal Naval Hospital in Hong Kong, where he spent the next 3.5 years.  In late 1869, he moved to Nagasaki, Japan, where he resided in the treaty port, but moved to Kobe in 1870, where he initially worked as a pharmacist for the foreign firm "Llewellyn Shōkai".  However, he began his own company, "AC Sim Shōkai", later the same year.  Sim's company specialized in the import and distribution of medicines and medical supplies.  In 1884, Sim introduced a carbonated beverage based on lemonade to the Kobe foreign settlement.  This drink, called "mabu soda" for "marble soda" due to the marbles placed in the bottle for opening action, soon became very popular with the local Japanese after it was advertised in the Tokyo Mainichi Newspaper as a preventative for cholera.  The drink remains a popular soft drink, sold nationwide, under the name of "ramune" to this day. Citra was a grapefruit-flavored soft drink released into the U.S. market in 1996 by The Coca-Cola Company around the same time as Surge, another citrus-flavored soft drink marketed by Coca-Cola (although Surge contained caffeine while Citra was caffeine-free).  Citra had a very similar flavor to Fresca, especially the version of Fresca sold in Latin America, which is sweetened with sucrose (table sugar) rather than aspartame as in the American version of Fresca.  It also had a flavor similar flavor to Squirt, except that Squirt contains a trace of orange or tangerine flavoring.  Citra also had a very similar flavor to that of Canfield's 50/50. Cheerwine is a cherry-flavored soft drink produced by Carolina Beverage Corporation of Salisbury, North Carolina.  It has been produced since 1917, claiming to be "the oldest continuing soft drink company still run by the same family". Bahamas Goombay Punch is a soft drink that is produced in the Bahamas.  It is very sweet and has a high sugar content.  Goombay Punch is widely available throughout the bahamas in 12 fl oz cans as well as 20 fl oz bottles.  6-packs of the soft drink are also widely available.  The soft drink comes in two varieties, Bahamas Goombay Punch (the stock flavor) and Goombay Fruit Champagne.  The regular flavor is yellow in color (see picture). Marketing in schools is a widespread phenomenon in which schools sign contracts allowing certain businesses to conduct marketing activities in school facilities — primarily advertising.  For example, a school might allow only one brand of soft drink to be sold in vending machines on the campus; in return, the soft drink company would provide compensation to the school (frequently money, but it may provide other compensation as well, such as building new facilities or paying for school supplies).  The phrase usually refers to arrangements by elementary schools or high schools, rather than higher education; because this marketing is seen as targeting children, it is very controversial.  One example of this is Channel One News, a TV show, branded as educational, shown in schools that shows two minutes of advertising.  Channel One is shown in over 11,500 middle and high schools across the United States, reaching 7.7 million students.
