Shasta was first released sometime in the late 1800s, making it practically as old as Coca-Cola. This soda gained popularity because of its broad taste spectrum (it came in over ten flavors) and reasonably priced price, which allowed it to be enjoyed by a wider range of people.

“Pop open the Shasta; it’s the happy taste” is a catchphrase that has stuck in the minds of Shasta drinkers for years, even after they’ve finished their can. Shasta offers a wide variety of beverages to suit every taste, including Cherry Cola, Creme Soda, and Old Fashioned Root Beer.
