Lykki Cola

Few colas wear their mood on the label, but Lykki Cola does. The name Lykki echoes the Norwegian word lykke—happiness—and was chosen to capture the simple joy its founders once felt as children sneaking sugar cubes from the kitchen cupboard. That small rush of sweetness became a symbol of happiness, now rebottled in soda form and personified by the brand’s playful mascot, a little figure twisting itself in delight. First produced in March 2021, Lykki Cola is part of the Lykki Brus line from Oslo-based Lykki Sweets. It is handmade, certified organic, free from artificial colorings, and sweetened with white cane sugar.

Lykki Sweets was founded in 2021 by Roger Viken, originally with the ambition of making confectionery. So far, the company has concentrated on soft drinks, launching with five flavors and later adding a few more under the Lykki Brus label. By the summer of 2025, the young brand had set its sights higher: entry into Norway’s mainstream grocery trade and a role as a preferred supplier to the country’s hotel and restaurant sector.
