I know Afri Kola (not much, only have had it a couple of times in Germany) and Fritz Kola (moree common in other countries, delicious, also other flavours, orange and apple are very very good).
Orangina was always a treat on holidays in France.
It is owned by suntory so Japanese ownership.
Just try different caffeinated sodas.
Like ChariTea, Club-Mate, MioMio etc…
Club Mate is exquisite
Kofola (from Czechia)
Does anyone remember this one?
I don’t, but I want it
I haven’t seen one in at least 20 years, I don’t think it exists anymore.
Italy has a ton of great sodas. Stappi’s Chinotto is a favorite.
Chinotto is much better than cola in my opinion.
Agreed, Im just sad that I can’t drink it anymore (bad teeth) and can’t afford it (American with stupid tariffs)
Breizh Cola in Britanny, France
A.G. Barr of Scotland produce a variety of fizzy drinks, including Barr cola. Can be seen in most medium or above sized shops in the UK, unsure of their availability abroad.
Sinalco is made in Germany afaik, and it has coke/orange/sprite flavors with zero sugar variants. Also cheaper than Coca Cola
In Germany I often drink Mezzo Mix, which is a “Spezi”, cola with orange. Sadly it looks like both major brands are owned by Pepsico and Cocacola.
Buy MischMasch instead, should be from Fritz Cola and tastes even better ;)
I’m only an American, so I’ve never heard of those. Thank you for the tip.
How about Paulaner Spezi or Gloria Cola Mix? :)
Thank you. I’m just am American who visits occasionally do I don’t know all of the options!
There’s Fritz Kola and Vita Cola from Germany
In Spain, I have started buying mercadona’s store-brand cola. It tasted basically the same as coca-cola at less than half the price and a fraction of the fascism.
Kofola is god tier, originally Czechoslovak but sold in Central/Eastern Europe. It’s more herbal so it’s a matter of taste like with everything but many people seem to enjoy that.
Agreed, I loved it when I was in Czech republic.
Cockta is very popular in former Yugoslavia countries.
We had a thing called Polo Cockta in Poland back in the day, supposedly based of Slovenian Cockta. It’s being sold again now but I assume that the brand owner coasts on nostalgia and I have no idea if it tastes anything like the old one. Do you know if yours is similar to the original formula?
Ours is the same as one from Yugoslavia days here in Slovenia.
Cuba Cola is the oldest cola style beverage in Sweden. Its popularity has varied, but a few years ago i got a re-launch together with a sugar free variant.
