[edit] History of the Brand
Originally an outreach of Pepsi created in 1954, Zam Zam became its own corporation following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Following the 2002 boycott of Coca-Cola by Saudi Arabia, Zam Zam was unofficially dubbed the soft drink of the Hajj.[1]
It is also sold in Europe and in some parts of Asia.
The product's name is a reference to the sacred Well of Zamzam, near the Islamic holy city of Mecca, where tradition has it that Hagar drew water for her son Ishmael.
