Rivella

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rivella is a carbonated soft drink from Switzerland, created by Robert Barth in 1952, which is produced from whey (or milk plasma), and therefore includes ingredients such as lactose, lactic acid and minerals.

Rivella is very popular in its home country, but is also available in some European countries such as The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, and the east of France. Rivella was distributed for a year in the United States, but was retracted in 2005 from the US market due to low sales volume.

[edit] Packaging

Rivella comes in plastic or glass bottles, both of which are tinted brown and are translucent. The different flavors of Rivella are marked by the different colors of the labeling. It comes in three varieties:
