oh, huh.

wiki says it used to be in Coke but now it's artificial. Pepsi Raw apparently still uses it.

[quote=Wikipedia]Kola was used to make cola soft drinks, such as Coca cola, though today most of these mass-produced beverages use artificial flavourings. Some exceptions are Pepsi's new Pepsi Raw, Barr's Red Kola, Red Bull's new Simply Cola, Harboe Original Taste Cola, Foxon Park Kola, Blue Sky Organic Cola, Whole Foods Market 365 Cola, Sprecher's Puma Kola, Virgil's Real Cola, Beaver Soda and Canadian Cola, Cricket Cola, the latter being made from kola nuts and green tea. In 2007, United Kingdom supermarket Tesco introduced an American Premium Cola that uses kola nuts, spices and vanilla.[/quote]

[Victor Leferve]

Has a fruity taste to it.

[Muffinbuster]

I think it's supposed to have a unique flavor on its own.

Kola Nuts.
Seriously, some Colas still contain it.
Other than that: Caffeine

[Un.Hxx.Aé]

I have never seen uglier Coca Cola bottles, is that what they look like in USA?

[DarkSpirit05er]

Kola nut, it's been said countless times.

Thread title hurt my brain

[Køleskab]

i once got a coke with bad ingredient balancing (no sugar) and it tasted strongly of sinnimon (this word is unspellable)

[Arsonist]

[QUOTE=Bomimo;17367278]sinnimon (this word is unspellable)[/QUOTE]

Cinnamon?

[Awesomecaek]

I think it's based on water.

Or maybe sugar. I am not sure about that.

[Nightrazr]

Pepsi tastes like ass.
Coca Cola tastes like sex.
Dr Pepper tastes like sex on a monday morning after a good hearty breakfast.

I prefer pepsi, it tastes more caramel and less fizzy.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofola]Kofola[/url] Is the shit. It is not so fucking sweet that my mouth hurts, and has fantastic spicy taste.

But Dr. Pepper rocks too.
