Don't think that everyone's childhood soda is the Arctic Ocean and ice peaks.
For a long time, the metallurgical circle casually ran a problem, made drinks, and contracted Chinese drinks and ice creams in the rear.
Many old brands of soda have very hard-core name prefixes: steel pipe factories, steel mills, and even the Institute of Atomic Energy Physics.
For example, Tianjin Steel Pipe Factory Sports Drink, referred to as TPCO, and TPCO is the meaning of seamless steel pipe...
Many heavy industrial plants may have been rectified and dissolved long ago, but the soda they once developed has not disappeared.
At first glance, I thought it was a Japanese soda, but in fact, it was a "second factory"
The recipe for sodas in steel mills across the country is different, and when Coca-Cola strangles all of China's specialty drinks, they stubbornly guard the taste buds of local compatriots in their respective territories.
Angang Meichen salt soda, Shougang first drink soda, Liugang snow strip red bean popsicle, Laigang Wenyuan orange juice soda drink, bengang steelmaker soda, Qinggang Laoquan Cola, TISCO soda, Tianjin steel pipe sports drink, Baosteel bi pure salt soda...
These old sodas, which are connected to the blood of the steel industry, are much more than the "old yogurts" that bloom all over the country.
Those counties and counties that can't find a cow within a radius of 100 kilometers and dare to call themselves centuries-old yogurts should be ashamed in front of these hard-core sodas.

The 401 soda of the nuclear energy bloodline is low-key to the bone
Compared with other happy fat house water, the Shuangfeng 401 looks nothing more than pigment + crazy infusion at a glance.
When you occasionally see this bottle of drink that is now mainly produced in Hebei in front of a dirty stall, you can't believe that it is actually one with the highest secret blood of the republic.
401 soda, in the hearts of many Beijingers, has a much higher status than the Arctic Ocean.
It has been very low-key since its debut, and when the Arctic Ocean was grinning and selling for 1 yuan, the 401 only sold for 5 cents.
Such a low-key 401 soda actually comes from a more low-key defense agency.
There are many very mysterious large-scale defense factories and scientific research institutions in China, and due to confidentiality reasons, they once did not have their own names, only a mysterious code name.
In the southwestern suburbs of Beijing, there exists a mysterious scientific research institute.
On maps from the old times, it was only marked as the 401 compound.
And the old scientists who have worked in anonymity for a lifetime in 401 may never talk about their true identities.
Today, the name of the 401 has been changed to the China Atomic Energy Research Institute, but the signature soda of this defense factory, 401, is still stubbornly alive.
Of course, most of the time, it is still a plain orange water in the eyes of the world.

Shougang soda, we are very angry
Shougang's old factory is now a 3A-level scenic spot. Like all the children of the big factory, the children who grew up in the factory compound in the 80s and 90s grew up eating hundreds of dishes, and whoever made braised pork could smell the aroma all over the building.
The deepest memory is also the unlimited Shougang soda.
"Because of the sweating, the soda drinks that our front-line steelmaking workers drink are specially made with salt."
Master Zheng, who has worked in the Shijingshan plant area of Shougang for more than 20 years, remembers that the Shougang soda was divided into salt soda and sweet soda, and the taste included pineapple flavor and orange flavor, and a bottle of soda was about 250 ml.
'''Once I made a bet with a large group of workers to drink soda, a large bottle of soda specially made by Shougang, and I drank 17 bottles in one go, and no one could win me, and from then on they regarded me as a brother.' ”
In terms of seniority, in Beijing, in addition to the "Arctic Ocean", there is no kind of soda that can stand out.
In the early 1980s, in June, three bottles of "Shougang soda" were distributed to the hand every day, but the welfare of Shougang workers was proud: "The gas is particularly rushed, and it feels no worse than the 'Arctic Ocean'." ”

TAISCO soda and Wang Ping dough are standard
If you want to ask the Taiyuan people what they eat, he may tell you: fat intestines or brains.
If you want to ask what to drink, he will definitely tell you: Taigang soda.
A dark green glass bottle with two big characters written in the middle of the bottle , "Taigang", created by the Taiyuan people. The popularity of this small bottle of soda in Taiyuan is outrageous.
In most local memories, Wang Ping's dough and Taigang soda are standard for "extracurricular snacks".
The thick bubbles are a bit like Sprite, and in front of the summer barbecue stall, take a sip of the cool air while skewering, and hit a fruity burp.
Taiyuan people, who love to eat salty brine, need it to balance the taste.
This bottle of soda is inseparable from the name of the steel factory.
TISCO Beverage, first known as Taiyuan Iron and Steel (Group) Beverage & Food Co., Ltd., was founded in 1953 and is the earliest and largest carbonated beverage production base in Shanxi Province.
Before 1997, it was designed to produce heat-proof and cooling drinks for the front-line workers of TISCO's high temperature, and then it was slowly promoted in Taiyuan shops.
Some netizens said that the status of Taigang soda in the minds of local dolls is like: your mother beat you without using a feather duster, there is no goal to play on the grass, rowing in the Fenhe River has dropped the pulp, and you can't get strong without drinking two sips.
Today, even with other beverage brands constantly entering the market, its position cannot be easily shaken.
Because no matter the wind or rain, it only sells for 2 pieces.

Salty soda at Wuhan Iron and Steel Works
Compared with the soda of Wuhan No. 2 Factory, which has exploded on the Internet, the salt soda "salty guy" of Wuhan Iron and Steel Factory is also trying to get out of the circle.
In the era of material scarcity, compared with boiled water, a bottle of salty and sweet drinks is a must-have drink on the table of many Wuhan people.
In 1958, in the same year that Wisco steel built the factory, in order to drain sweat and replenish physical strength for front-line high-temperature workers such as blast furnaces and other high-temperature physical energy consumption, Wisco steel developed salt soda.
At that time, there were no drinks for sale on the market, and The salty soda of Wuhan Iron and Steel was the most delicious summer product that the locals could drink.

Angang soda, too face-saving
Anshan Anshan Angang national workers were once a group of people who were even more cattle than municipal civil servants, and the families where both husband and wife worked in Anshan Steel were enviously called "double steel children", which was very face-saving.
The sense of honor of being eligible to drink Angang soda for free is also unprecedented.
In the summer, the children of the Angang people can proudly bring a bottle of Tanggangzi mineral soda to school every day and sit on the girder of their father's or mother's bicycle.
"When we were young, we loved to drink Angang soda, sweet and cool.
At that time, he rode a bicycle from home to the factory, and it took a long time to ride into the factory to reach her father, and he would unscrew the faucet and load a bottle of Angang soda, which was the most wonderful taste in childhood..."
There are no QR codes for payments that are all over the place today.
Back then, you only needed a ticket for soda to drink all summer.

Baosteel pure salt soda, love apartment endorsement
On the map of salt soda, Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant will definitely not be absent.
Wangwang milk, which is advertised every day, is just a bluff of foreign goods, and for Shanghainese, pure salt soda is the real taste of childhood.
The salt soda developed by Baoshan Iron and Steel Company has long since lost the shadow of steelmakers.
However, because it has always taken the low-profit route, in the bloody rain of the beverage war, it has so far swept Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
"Love Apartment" MeiJia's killing move, salt soda spray, according to the background of the story can also be speculated that she sprayed is probably this bottle of pure salt soda that Shanghainese people have drunk.....
The production of salt soda in major steel mills can almost be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the factory, due to the high labor intensity of steel workers, physical consumption is also large.
In the summer, the temperature next to the steelmaking blast furnace is not a little high.
Water and salt can most quickly replenish the energy consumed by the body during heavy physical labor, and workers must be replenished with water in time.
As a result, in the 1950s and 1960s, various factories set up salt soda stations.
Manufacturing soda from the factory next door is the focus of the steel mill leaders.
It is no exaggeration to say that if any unit does not have an ice room for cold drinks, it will become the biggest joke in the industry.
Workers will soon be able to pick up soda tickets and bring warm water bottles or rice boxes to fetch salt soda. The pungent taste of the entrance is complemented by the rough way it is distributed, as if this is also part of summer.
They look rough, but they are the sweetest tenderness in many people's hearts.
The spicy carbonated smell is liberated in the stomachs of the fiercest steelmakers, and fathers will always carry a bottle in their pockets to bring home to their children.
The scientific ratio of polysales and polysaccharides with soda allows hard-working people to balance electrolytes most quickly and restore their energy.
Unlike the so-called use of tea and a little bit of life extension for the current office fat houses, in fact, it is just a disguised appearance, and the soda that was distributed to workers at that time was to protect their enthusiasm for labor.
And now, these "steel man happy water" also continue the hardcore bloodline, silently competing with the ferocious foreign fat house water.
Maybe one day, young people who are working hard in the vast cities in the north will occasionally discuss at the same table the bottle of soda that their neighbors drank when they were children, just like the girl who once had a crush.
