About Sparletta
Sparletta is the flavoured soft drink range Delta launched with an orange variant in June 1955 and now sells as cream soda, Sparberry, apple, pine nut and iron brew, flavours that have little currency outside southern Africa. It belongs to the Coca-Cola franchised sparkling beverages business rather than to Delta, which bottles and sells it under the franchise that also covers Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite in Zimbabwe.
