Mecca-Cola is a cola-flavoured carbonated beverage. The flagship product of the Mecca Cola World Company, it is marketed as an alternative to U.S. brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola to "pro-Muslim" consumers. The product's name contains the traditional Latin-alphabet transliteration of مكة, "Mecca" in Saudi Arabia.
==Details== Mecca-Cola was launched in France, in November 2002, by the brand's founder Tawfik Mathlouthi as a means of aiding Palestinians by tapping into demand for alternative products in European countries. He had been inspired by a popular Iranian soft drink, Zamzam Cola and only decided to launch his own brand when he was unable to agree on terms for a distribution contract with Zamzam, as well as providing an alternative for his sons instead of Coca-Cola.
