LA Ice Cola is an Australian soft drink owned by the P&N Company. It's similar to Coca-Cola and Pepsi, which are its rivals. It was founded and introduced in some parts of Australia in 1999, and in the rest of Australia in 2000. The drink is mainly a supermarket brand, but is now distributing into the route channel, including independent service stations.
There are 4 main types of LA Ice. The first it just normal LA Ice, with sugar. The second is LA Maxi Ice, which is essentially like Coke Zero and Pepsi Max, that is, no sugar. The third type is fairly rare, and hard to find. It's called LA Ice Cafe Cola, which is described in more detail below. A fourth variety is LA Diet Ice.
LA Ice Cola is different from other soft drinks, in the way that it loses its carbonation a lot quicker than other soft drinks - thus the reduced price. Some find that the loss of carbonation makes it taste better, while it puts others off.
The main reason for their popularity is the fact that it is very cheap costing as little as $1 Australian for 2 litres. LA Ice Cola is also the first cola brand in Australia to introduce a Coffee Variety. The variety, named LA Ice Cafe Cola is comparable to Pepsi Tarik in flavour.
