Every time someone brings up the name of a brand that served us with chips, chocolates, and colas back in our childhood, a huge wave of nostalgia hits. Talk about cola and I am sure, Campa Cola instantly comes to mind, especially for those who belong to the 1970s and 1980s generations. Well, the 50-year-old iconic beverage is back, and netizens are walking down memory lane.
The Iconic Beverage Campa Cola Is Back
I was at the supermarket yesterday, and one of the shelves caught my attention. What I saw was something so hard to believe, but it brought a huge smile to my face. Yes, it was Campa Cola. It is back on the market as Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance relaunches it.
Netizens were simply overjoyed with the news and began expressing their happiness by posting pictures of the drink and their nostalgic stories associated with it.

A Twitter user shared an old ad of Campa cola which also featured Salman Khan. It is believed that actor Salman Khan got his first break with this ad.
4/6 Campa Cola’s ad, made by Kailash Surendranath in 1983, was the first time Salman Khan faced the camera, at age 16. Since Salman Khan is currently unattached to any cola (he was last with Pepsi. Ranveer replaced him recently), would Campa go to him, for old-time’s sake? :) pic.twitter.com/4cL8pycuHI

Campa Cola was the coolest soft drink brand in India. Now Reliance is bringing back this exciting drink for all Indians. The brand was acquired by Reliance Industries in 2022 for 22 crores. The retail arm launched the three variants—Campa Cola, Campa Orange, and Campa Lemon at some selected stores in the country.
