Mirinda is a brand of soft drink that was created in Spain in 1959 and has been distributed globally by PepsiCo since 1970. Its name comes from the Esperanto translation of "admirable" or "amazing".[1] Mirinda is available in multiple formulations of flavour, carbonation and sweetener depending on the taste of individual markets. It is made in many different fruit varieties, but the orange flavour represents the majority of Mirinda sales worldwide following a major repositioning of the brand towards that flavour in the early 1990s.
Mirinda is also branded under various other names around the world: Sukita (Brazil), Yedigün (Turkey), Slam (Italy until 2021), Frustyle (Russia since 2022), and Sol (some US states).
