About BC
BC is Arcor's powdered drink brand, the sachets of flavoured powder mixed into a jug of water that are a fixture of Argentine households. In 2024 Arcor used it to open a powdered lemonade line in mint and ginger, passion fruit and red berry flavours, all of them free of the black warning seals Argentine labelling rules put on high-sugar products.

Arcor is an Argentine food group founded in 1951 at Arroyito in Córdoba province by a group of young entrepreneurs led by Fulvio Salvador Pagani, and still run by the founding families.
