Description
"Simba - It conquers the African thirst." Introduced by the Coca-Cola company in the early 70's but didn't last long. Guess we Americans didn't have an African thirst. TV commercials had lots of African animals and thirsty humans theme. Simba had a juicy Mountain Dew taste. Bought it once as a kid but it didn't impress me. None of my kid friends drank it either.

I drank this a lot as a teenager. My friends and I would put it in a freezer mug. It was great on a hot southern California day.
Best and favorite soft drink I have ever tasted. Wish I had a cold one right now!
I loved Simba, and have missed it ever since!
No wonder I can't find it anywhere! My sister and I loved that stuff as teens. It would be nice if they brought it back.
I loved this drink. My grandfather always had some @ his house for me.
Simba was introduced in 1968, or at least it was in the Louisville, KY area. The TV ad showed the Serengeti Plain with heat waaves rippling off the ground and a giraffe loping away in the distance. The announcer came on with, "It's hot, scorching hot, African hot. Simba conquers the African thirst..." That's the best I can recall. It didn't last long, maybe a year or two. It was discontinued and reborn again in the mid 70's as Mello Yello.
