I found this bottle in the Hong Kong Market in Atlanta. That market carries mostly asian products but has some Latin American and Caribbean products as well if you look closely. There seems to be more than one brand of Solo beverages out there, one is based in Norway and appears unrelated to this one. This banana flavored soda was bottled in Trinidad and Tobago from the Solo Beverage Company, founded in 1949.
Banane is French for banana, though I think it's strange it's colored orange rather than yellow. It smells sickeningly sugary and not quite like banana. It has the faint hint of a red-cream soda mixed with banana scent. This bottle seems quite flat regarding carbonation and tastes nothing like banana. I'm not even sure how to describe the flavor, perhaps something closer to a cotton-candy flavored soda. It's not a flavor I'm taking a liking to.
