Was Potts soda invented in Japan or Scotland?

Ponzi soda originated in England, was invented in 1872, and was introduced to Japan in 1884. It is a carbonated beverage with lime and lemon flavor. Its Japanese name "ラムネ" comes from the English word "lemonade". Because of the addition of carbon dioxide, it tastes cool and sells well in hot weather, and it has become one of the "totems" representing summer. During World War II, cool marble soda was very popular with the Japanese navy, and even warships had equipment for producing marble soda. This beverage was subsequently introduced to Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, soda was popular in Britain. The earliest carbonated soft drinks are sold now, because they are easy to lose steam after being left for a long time. Later, people filled carbonated drinks in glass bottles and sealed them with corks. However, due to the high cost of cork sealing, soda manufacturers at that time were very worried about the container problem. People thought of various alternative methods to seal carbonated drinks-the combination of rubber, aluminum foil, metal and magnet ... Until 1872, Hiram Codd, an Englishman, invented a machine-filled CODD bottle sealed with glass beads. In the operation of this design, the flavoring agent is first injected into the bottle, and then the carbonated water is injected in one breath with the bottle mouth facing upward, and the bottle is inverted at the moment when the liquid is full, so that the glass beads will fall into the bottle mouth. Because the pressure in the bottle is relatively high, glass beads can seal the bottle mouth under the action of gas pressure.

Because the production method of cod bottles is simple and economical, soda manufacturers have filled carbonated soda with cod bottles one after another, making Bozi soda popular. But the design of Cod bottle also brings many problems. If you shake the bottle before opening it, it will have champagne effect. Recycled glass bottles will be difficult to clean because of marbles; When manufacturers recycle bottles, marbles are often taken away. Children like to take marbles out of bobo soda to play. Glass marbles are a common collection among children, but bobo soda without marbles will bother the shopkeeper. Marbles with a diameter of only about 1.5 cm may also be eaten by young children. Shops selling soda usually have a special bottle opener to press glass beads into the bottle. In the past, bottle openers were mostly made of iron, and they were hung at the door of the store with ropes for immediate purchase and drinking. Most empty bottles are left in the store for recycling. Later, a plastic bottle opener was attached to each bottle, and the bottle mouth was wrapped with shrink film, which on the one hand prevented the marbles from being polluted, and on the other hand allowed customers to take them home. In fact, the plastic ring on the bottle mouth of Bozi soda can be turned down, but the thread is contrary to the general usage habit, and can only be screwed clockwise to prevent the drinker from accidentally decomposing.

1884 Potts soda was introduced to Japan by Scottish immigrant Alexander Cameron Sim. At that time, all glass factories in Japan were shocked by this strange beverage bottle.

Deyong Yuji, the owner of Osaka Deyong Glass Factory, was deeply attracted by this bottle and decided to make cod bottles locally. The next year, I immersed myself in research and finally achieved the goal of mass production five years later.

With the appearance of many new drinks, marble soda gradually declined, and it was not until the nostalgic trend at the end of the 20th century that it reappeared in the market. The bottle body is made of PET, which is not easy to break and light in weight.

In addition, many new flavors have been added. In addition to the original lime and lemon flavors, there are melons, strawberries, oranges, lychees, peaches and "Blue Hawaii" on the market.
