Tips

culture
Founded 1999 in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia (蒙古 'Mongolia' + 'cow'). Together with rival 伊利 (Yili) it dominates the Chinese dairy market. The brand was scarred by the 2008 melamine milk scandal but has since rebuilt and become an Olympic / FIFA World Cup sponsor.
memory
= Mongolia (蒙古, from the steppe grasslands), = cow, giving 'Mongolian cow', dairy from the grasslands. Their tagline 来自大草原的牛奶 ('milk from the great steppe') leans on the same imagery.
