The Smile Cola Company!

The Smile Cola Company! An endless smile in your lips…

Who we are

The Smile Cola Company, is the producer, bottler and distributor, of the famous greek soft drink, SMILE COLA! It is a small, old fashioned , family business, which belongs to its founder Phivos Apollon Morides and his son, his lovely doggy Panos!

The new age soft drink

Smile Cola, brings a new healthy way of life! It is bottled in North Greece and it’s been distributed only in the Inner London area.

How they all started…

A smiley success, based on a true story!

We are nearing the end of summer 2015! Phivos Morides‘ “GREEK SMILE* team” is in a brainstorming meeting at their London office. At some point, the Founder says: “I want when we finally go online, to become the talk of the town and be on everyone’s lips!”. And he makes the motion with his hand resting on his lips! And at that moment the idea comes to him and he exclaims…SMILE COLA!!!

They all got excited and shouted…WOWWW!!!

The REAL GREEK Cola!

“We are going to find a small soft drinks producer and order them to make us…12 million bottles of our own label drink, SMILE COLA! And then we’re going to find a promotion company, to do door-to-door distribution to every house and give away to everyone a bottle of SMILE COLA!

And so 12 million Greeks in the Metropolitan Greece, will put the “GREEK SMILE” on their lips through…SMILE COLA!”

Smile Cola toon, “SMILUCKY” is coming in town…

So after a quick search in the greek market, we found a small factory in North Greece and on September 30th, 2015, the first SMILE COLA order, came in Kolonaki-Athens!

MYTH no1

Some years before the Smile Cola birth, its founder faced a serious health problem! By that time, he was in a very poor financial condition, so he approached a high-ranking executive of a top soft drink company, to make him a small sponsorship with which to organize a music concert, so that the proceeds would cover the high cost of his recovery…

After a long wait of three weeks, unfortunately the answer was negative!

Αmidst his obvious disappointment, Phivos persisted! He said himself…”I will find the money to do the treatment and then, with God’s help, I will make a soft drink and all of its profits from the Greek market will go to a foundation that I will create, which will help people to cover important needs of their health, education and life”! This is how Smile Cola and the Smiley Heart Foundation were born!

MYTH No 2

One afternoon in early March 2016, Phivos was sitting on the sofa playing with his tablet. Entering his Facebook, he saw a friend request from someone unknown, with a Pakistani name from London. And the only common friend they had was…Panos, who has his own Facebook, which is handled by Morides‘s personal assistant!

He accepted his invitation and immediately after, he received a message in his inbox, where he was asked, what exactly is this…Smile Cola, which is in a very eye catchy photo that Panos has on his profile!

After explaining to him the idea and the story behind SMILE COLA, the Anglo-Pakistani, asked him if he was looking for a distributor in London, since himself had a small distribution company! And he had also really liked the…name, Smile Cola!

Actually, he was amazed, he said!

Smile Cola 1,5 Ltr

Phivos was at first surprised by the sudden request! After exchanging a few more clarifying messages and sending samples, which excited the Anglo-Pakistani, the first order came in!

And just like that, history took its course…

The Smile Cola Art!

Playing with smile…

Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture.

But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
