Nah there are pleny of small places that make soft drink and aren't owned by coke or pepsi.
The post is specifically asking for alternatives to US brand so I don't think this counts. Most of Coke's line is made in NZ but it's still a big US brand.
That's fair, it's a shame though, it is a quintessential NZ drink.
Try L&T (lemon and Te Aroha) if you haven’t already. It’s still uniquely kiwi and tastes great! It came out im the 1800s. Got discontinued for a few decades but is back and worth the switch.
Cries in Australian.
I'm guessing it's not available over here, but next time I'm in the area, will definitely seek it out :)
