Paeroa is well known for its mineral springs, which provided the water used in a local soft drink which has become a New Zealand favourite, Lemon & Paeroa.
Lemon & Paeroa (or L&P) has a playful slogan "World Famous in New Zealand" and perhaps the largest soft drink statue in the world is in the town of Paeroa. (L&P is now owned by Coca Cola)
