Kia-Ora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kia-Ora is a concentrated orange soft drink, made by Atlantic Industries and produced in the UK by Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd and by Chivers in the Republic of Ireland.

It takes its name from "kia ora", a Māori language greeting which has entered New Zealand English. It means literally "be well/healthy" and is used for both "hello" and "goodbye".

Early advertising used the jingle "We all adore a Kia-Ora". Later promotions included a song by Caramba called "Fido", and the slogan "too orangey for crows"; crows are intolerant of citrus fruit.

Fallout, co-founder of the British breakbeat website Breakbeat Terrorism, sampled Kia-Ora television advertisements in a track of his own creation named Reora.
