Green Cola was first developed by Green Cola Hellas in Orestiada in 2011, during the height of the Greek debt crisis.[1] Green Cola, a soda sweetened with stevia, became Green Cola Hellas's flagship product. The drink has been branded as having the taste of other colas but "without all of the bad stuff".[2] The beverage became widely distributed in mainland Greece and in the Greek islands.[3] The cola grew in popularity and started being produced in Germany in 2015[4][5] and in Spain in 2017;[6] as of 2018, Green Cola is offered for sale in a number of international markets.[1][3][7]
