No-Cal was the first zero-calorie soda.〔Encyclopedia of junk food and fast food ,Andrew F. Smith, p.116, Greenwood Publishing Group, 2006〕 Marketed to diabetics, not dieters, in a number of flavors, the most popular being black cherry. ==History== Hyman Kirsch and his son Morris, both Russian immigrants living in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, began selling sodas in 1904.〔(Bowling World, Jan 2006, p.8 )〕 Their involvement with the Jewish Sanitarium for Chronic Disease (now known as Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center), led them to the invention of a sugar-free drink to meet the needs of the hospital’s diabetic patients.〔(No-Cal Comes to Larchmont )〕 Hyman and Morris developed a line of carbonated, sugar-free, zero-calorie soft drinks which they called No-Cal, that they began selling in 1952.〔 The soda was produced at the company’s plant in College Point, Queens, New York.〔 (Requires scrolldown)〕 Initially it came only in ginger ale, sweetened with sodium cyclamate. Later, root beer and black cherry were added, the latter becoming the flagship flavor. Eventually they added lime, cola, and chocolate sodas. Eventually, the company started marketing the soda to "weight-conscious" housewives. It thus took off in popularity, until the company was worth millions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No-Cal Soda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
