Wahaha is a massive kingdom of beverages. When it was first established, Zong Qinghou put a lot of effort into naming the nutritional oral liquid produced by his company, even using the media to solicit names from the public. People even used disciplines such as marketing, psychology, communication, sociology, linguistics, etc., to argue for these names. In the end, it was named “Wahaha” for three reasons: firstly, it’s easy to read and remember, making it easily acceptable to children. Secondly, it vividly expresses the joy and happiness children feel after getting Wahaha, which is very optimistic and positive. Thirdly, there’s a popular children’s song called “Wahaha,” making it convenient for brand promotion.
