Back in 1950, Don Francisco "El Güero" Hillas, a seasoned chemist and master artisan, dreamed up original-flavored soda. The world wasn’t ready for cold coffee yet, so out came the iconic fizzy refreshers! 🎉😋
By 1960, you'd find Jarritos bottles in 80% of Mexico's states, making it the nation's go-to fizzy fave. Then in 1988, they bubbled over to the U.S. and quickly became the top-selling Mexican drink in Hispanic markets! 🇲🇽➡️🇺🇸
Jarritos stands out with real fruit extracts (no fake flavors!), sweetened with pure cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, and made with clean, filtered water that lets every fruity note shine. Plus, no artificial preservatives – citrusy zing naturally keeps it fresh! 🍊💧
The name "Jarritos" literally means "little jugs" in Spanish (and hilariously “goat shoes” in German 😅). Mexico's fruit-infused aguas frescas were once served in clay jars to stay chilly. Spot the nod? Jarritos’ logo rocks mandarin orange and lime green – just like those traditional jugs with earthy brown bases and glazed green tops. Serendipity, or just good branding?
Fun fact: the first Jarritos bottles weren’t labeled – people guessed the flavors by their colors alone. Ready for a challenge? Try a blind taste test and see if you can guess your favorite flavor! 🤔👅
