Qoo (クー, Kū?) is a non-carbonated beverage from the Coca-Cola Company. Originally introduced in Japan in 1999, Qoo is now available throughout much of Asia in a variety of flavors including grape and orange. In Germany, the product line was discontinued in November 2005.
The name comes from the mascot's reaction to tasting the drink. The mascot was designed by Momoko Maruyama, who created Deko Boko Friends. The Jingle, for the original Japanese version, is sung by Londell "Taz" Hicks, an American now living in Japan who also does the voice for the character Fo-Fo in "Deko Boko Friends"
Qoo is transliterated in Chinese as 酷兒 (kù'ér). It evokes images of “cool kid” since 酷 (kù) is a transliteration of the English word cool and 兒 (ér) means ‘child’ or ‘son’. However, in Taiwan, 酷兒 also happens to be the same transliteration as the English word queer referring to sexual orientation or gender identity.
Wow!
Qoo was my favorite beverage as a little kid growing up in Okinawa
Qoo wa shock!
Qoo was sold here in Germany for a while, but nobody liked it. I sure didn't, how could I like things produced by AMERICAN PIG DISGUSTING COMPANY.
