Royal Soda is an iconic beverage introduced in 1950. However, due to French regulations requiring strict transparency regarding food composition and as the beverage did not contain kola nut,
Royal Soda was required to remove the term "Cola" from its name. Additionally, the protection of the
Champagne designation of origin further necessitated a name change. As a result, Cola Champagne was renamed Kampane, while retaining its original recipe. Despite these modifications, the beverage remains popular and continues to be an integral part of the cultural identity of the French Caribbean territories.
