Woohoo! I'm so glad that there is sometime, somewhere, when coca cola isn't the biggest!! Nothing can strike down our Julmust! Coca Cola on Christams eve? Naaaw.. sounds awful

Just a note, I live in Sweden, and I have (nor have any of my friends, I asked them) seen julmust produced by Coca-Cola. So Im going to take away that part until proven otherwise.

They actually do, read swedish WP. BTW I've drunk it myself, it is being sold under the name Bjäre julmust. TERdON 00:30, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

There are a few places - see the references at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn_Bru ! :-) Matthew 15:02, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

just a little note, the bottle contains 2 liters, and is shaped like a Fanta bottle. ErikHK 17:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Must was created by Harry Roberts and his father Robert Roberts in 1910 as a non-alcoholic alternative to beer. The syrup is still made exclusively by Roberts AB in Örebro. The original recipe is said to be locked up in a safe with only one person knowing the full recipe.

I've heard a rumor that the person who created must sold the syrup (or the rights to make their own syrup or as the current article puts it) but simply refused to let Coca-Cola buy it. I do not why he wouldn't let them or if it's true at all (could just be some nationalistic made up story), but at least Coca-Cola sells it's own must brand (as the article mentions).

Coca-Cola probably buys the syrup from Roberts just like everybody else. // Liftarn

Yes, they do: "Koncentratet till must tillverkas än idag av Roberts AB i Örebro och används av i princip samtliga musttillverkare. Receptet är fortfarande hemligt och förutom koncentratet tillsätter Coca-Cola en egen hemlig blandning av ingredienser som ger just Bjäre dess karaktäristiska smak."

Perhaps the use of must in food should be mentioned? It is sometimes used as an ingredient in marinades. Any thoughts? --Hallonboat 20:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It's quite rare, but if you find any sources for it then go ahead. Perhaps we should also mention that you sometimes mix julmust with dark beer (like Guinness) to create something like mumma. // Liftarn

[edit] Like beer?

Does anyone else think julmust tastes like beer? I must say that I have never made that connection. /Cygnus78 (talk) 22:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Neither have I. However, to a person that don't know of Julmust, the round and thick taste of dark beer might be useful. Ssteinberger (talk) 18:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
