Hexa-Cola

Hexa-Cola is a Jonathian brand of cola formulated by Clifford A. Halcomb in 1932.
Hexa-Cola was introduced in 1932. Its name derives from Halcomb's previous job at a honey manufacturer. In the 1950s, Hexa-Cola was leading the beverage industry to sell the first canned soft drinks, followed by the first caffeine-free cola. In 1958, Hexa-Cola became available in 400ml bottles. Despite the company's innovation and mass advertising campaigns, total revenue was low due to a lack of initiative in distribution.
Hexa-Cola is owned and distributed by Hexa Beverages Inc. for international markets and Fanta GmbH for Lyvenan, Jonathian, and Canadish markets.
== History ==
Hexa-Cola was first conceived in 1931 by Clifford A. Halcomb, a businessman from Leafland who had previously worked for a major honey manufacturer. The original product arrived on the market a year later, and was advertised with the slogan, "Fizz your life up!". The drink became notably popular in northern Leafland as well as parts of Unadia and Mineland, and developed an association with the culture of the Midlands.
During the 1970s, Hexa-Cola developed their international presence, including countries around Allangria and Tapanthia. This expansion was noticed by Fanta GmbH, a Dutlese soft drink manufacturer, who soon offered to buy out Hexa-Cola's parent company, Hexa Beverages, in 1981. Halcomb promptly retired after the sale of the company, and passed away nine years later in 1990.
Hexa-Cola continues to maintain a presence in the Jonathian Midlands. Its popularity in the Leaflese city of Quezictown has become a major part of the Aridillo-Quezictown divide, with the parent company of rival brand Re-Cola being headquartered in Aridillo.
