Naming
The branded labels copy the name of mountain Uludağ located in West Turkey. Previously, the drink was made exclusively from water sources of this mountain. Gazoz is a Turkish lemonade variety, where Uludağ Gazoz is the most well known. The word Gazoz is based on the French word gazeuse or in English gaseous; in the Turkish language, it generally refers to carbonated sweetened lemonade of any kind.
