Jump to navigation Jump to search

Template:Infobox beverage Refrigerium (Namorese: Рефригериум, "refreshment") is a Namorese carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines throughout Namor and Esquarium. It is produced by the Refrigerium Company in Mojing, East Namor and is often referred to as Fridge or Frij (Фулидж, a registered trademark in Namor since April 15, NMR 2322). Refrigerium was formerly a soft drink invented by the Namorese government during the Green Fever to promote "the superiority of Liberationist soft drink," but during the Minjuha era it was bought out by Chishui Antelope, brother of Namorese leader Gelai Antelope, who became head of the Refrigerium company, which gave the drink its name. Since then, the drink is manufactured by the Refrigerium Company, a private corporation independent of government control.

The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to Refrigerium bottlers all over the country and the region. The bottlers then sell the Refrigerium bottles to restaurants, vending machines, drinking fountains, stores and shops. The Refrigerium has also introduced many other soft drinks of different flavors under the name of Refrigerium, including Refrigerium Zero, Cherry Refrigerium and Refrigerium Zero Caffeine. Over the past few years Refrigerium has become one of the most widely-sold and distributed soft drink region-wide, with consumers downing more than 2.0 billion company beverage servings per day. The drink is also distributed in the Esquarian Games as is one of the official drinks of athletes, as the company is a sponsor of the Games.

To many scholars, Refrigerium is an icon of the results of Namorese market reforms.
