Holding on to the legacy drink, Kannan and Co. Goli Soda in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu, is successfully marching towards its 100th year.
The company was established in 1924 when S.V. Kannusami Mudaliyar decided to set up a goli soda business, one of the first in the Madras province in the British era.
The glass bottles with little marble balls in them were imported from a manufacturer in Germany for ₹2,000.
