i have no idea what the fuck that stuff is supposed to be or taste like. It's like someone was tasked with making "brown" a soda flavor and for whatever reason this is the most popular flavor? It tastes like brown what the actual fuck is this stuff and why does everyone like it so much???
IIRC kola beans were only used for the caffeine, most of the flavor comes from vanilla, cinnamon, and citrus oils.

My favorite is Blue Sky Cola which unfortunately I've only found at Whole Foods.
Really? Thats interesting!
