The Lancashire roots of one of the nation’s favourite drinks has come to light after we taste-tested two bargain supermarket dupes.
Then this got us thinking - what else started in Lancashire?
Take a look at some surprising facts below.
5. Chorley Cakes
Despite their name, Chorley Cakes are not actually made in Chorley, but rather baked in Burnley. They are essentially individual hand pies filled with plump and juicy currants plus a little sugar, traditionally associated with the town of Chorley. Photo: UGC
6. Jelly Babies
The sweets were invented in 1864 by an Austrian immigrant working at Fryers of Lancashire, and were originally marketed as "Unclaimed Babies". By 1918 they were produced by Bassett's in Sheffield as "Peace Babies", to mark the end of World War I. Photo: Adobe
7. Holland's Pies
Holland's is a true British bakery baking proper tasty pies and puddings for over 168 years. It was founded by father and daughter John and Sarah Whittaker in 1851, as a confectioners shop in Haslingden, Lancashire. It now sells pies, pasties and sausage rolls. Photo: Holland's Pies Official
8. Inbev Brewery, Samlesbury
Samlesbury Brewery was built by Whitbread in 1972 and came into the ownership of Interbrew (as it then was) following Whitbread’s decision to sell its breweries and brewing interests in 2000. Brands brewed at Samlesbury include Budweiser, Stella Artois, Brahma, Bass and Boddingtons, which are packaged into kegs, cans and bottles. Photo: Spencer Platt
