Buy Cola

Colas have been a staple in parties and gatherings for so long. They are sweet and refreshing, and you can grab and serve easily. So, when friends or family are sitting around a dinner table, the easiest drink that you can go for is any cola. 

The first Cola to be ever made was Coca Cola. Interestingly, at that time, it was more of a medicine than a recreational drink. If you wanted to get a bottle of Coke back then, you would have to go to a pharmacy. Even though people later realised that colas are not a great medicine as they were once thought to be, they still loved drinking them occasionally because they liked the taste of it. Even today, well over a century after the first Cola, we still drink it and love it. This article will tell you everything you need to know about colas. Having a better understanding of them will help you choose the right one.  

Four most popular colas in the world 

The Cola rivalry between Coke and Pepsi is a part of history. In fact, marketing students learn about them even to this day. But in reality, those two are not the only cola brands out there. Yes, it is true that Pepsi and Coke are the most popular brands. But there are plenty of other options out there if you are looking for a change. Here is a list of four most popular colas in the world as of today. Read this article to find out more about colas. There are also a few tips at the end that you can use while you are shopping for them.  

Coca Cola 

The cola brand with the most history is, of course, Coca Cola. It was founded in the late eighteenth century, and it is and always has been the most popular Cola in the world for many decades. In fact, the second most popular Cola came into existence only a few years after Coca Cola. Even then, it has been one of the most consistent brands in history. It has survived the great depression and two world wars. But as people are more conscious about their sugar intake and because of the rising obesity rate in the world, at least some people have quit drinking regular Coke.  

Pepsi 

Pepsi is the nemesis of Coke in the cola industry. In fact, Pepsi even managed to outsell Coke for a short while a few decades ago. But Coke quickly bounced back and has been the second most popular brand ever since. When you consider the taste of both Pepsi and Coke, Pepsi is slightly sweeter than its rival. Another interesting thing about Pepsi is that they do change the taste of the Cola over time while Coke always holds onto its classic secret recipe. As a part of a marketing campaign, Pepsi once conducted a blind taste test of Pepsi against Coke. Interestingly, many of them liked the taste of Pepsi over Coke.  

Diet Coke 

The diet version of the classic Coca Cola is a still-growing brand. As people are moving away from sugary soft drinks, the diet version of those drinks will replace their old habits. There has been a decline in the popularity of diet coke over the concern of the health effects of artificial sweeteners. But people seem to have cleared their mind now. The taste of diet coke is slightly different from the original Coke. If you want to avoid the sugars but still want the taste of the classic Coke, then you should go for the Zero Coke instead of Diet Coke.  

Mountain Dew 

Mountain Dew is a brand by the Pepsi Corporation. But the brand first started as an independent company in the United States in 1940. But the Pepsi Corporation acquired the brand twenty-four years later. The taste of Mountain Dew is different from other colas in this list. While most other colas have a similar taste that is derived from cinnamon and vanilla, the taste of mountain dew can be best described as citrus. For this reason, some people consider mountains to be a juice drink and not a cola. However, it is a carbonated drink similar to other colas.
