L&P is the New Zealand-invented lemon soft drink combining mineral spring water from Paeroa (Coromandel) with lemon flavouring. World famous in New Zealand.
Lemon & Paeroa was first produced in 1907 in the small Coromandel town of Paeroa, combining mineral water from the local spring with lemon juice. The original tagline 'World Famous in New Zealand' has become a national in-joke about NZ cultural exports. The recipe was bought by Schweppes in 1965 and is now manufactured by Coca-Cola Amatil; the original Paeroa spring water is no longer used commercially, but the bottle design and branding remain unchanged. A giant L&P bottle landmark stands in Paeroa town. L&P appears on every NZ supermarket shelf, every BBQ table and every late-night service station; alongside Marmite (NZ formula), it is the country's most-recognised home-grown food brand.
