Fritz cola is the only decent European cola I see sold in Estonia. It’s ridiculously expensive in that you can buy a two liter Coca Cola or Pepsi for the price of a 330ml Fritz. It’s OK if you’re alone and only want the one small bottle, but when you’ve gotta share, it’s about as much as a home-cooked family meal. For a literocola.
Admittedly, the taste of Fritz Cola has way more nuance than Coca Cola. And I’m more of a Fanta man and yay, Jaffa is pretty much as good and just as cheap as American Fanta.
One of the local grocery stores also has a decent store-brand Sprite alternative so that covers most of the bases, just would sometimes like to have a cheaper good European cola available.
I smuggle this stuff back to Poland each time I cross the border in Tatra’s. Yes, some supermarkets do sell it, but wheres the fun in that.
I appreciate how even the meme template has been European-ized.
Drake’s a pedophile or at the very least a creep who stalks teenagers, anyway.
Though the Pooh variant of the meme is also alright.
The Drake version is for things that pedophiles would like or dislike. It basically has the same meaning as a Jeffrey Epstein version of the meme, but without the transference of meaning of images. History has transferred the meaning for us.
I wonder if pedophiles still use the Drake meme in the old way?
https://kofola.cz/en/ nice babushka, btw
For context: kofola is a czecho/slovakian drink. I’m not european but god damn that looks so good…
It has a very acquired taste: liquorice, anis (main Ouzo ingredient), and some other herbs I’m not sure of. It’s sweet, but just the right amount. I like it, but there’s many people who dislike the taste. If you have the chance, try it :)
Sounds like Moxie, but probably better tasting.
Moxie is significantly sweeter (and more offensive imo). I wish there were options for lightly sweetened sodas elsewhere but Kofola is the only one I know of and it’s quite limited in availability outside of Eastern Europe.
I’m pretty sure it’s just about impossible to get your hands on it here (unless you live in turkiye or syria, those are close to europe so should be easier?) but that sounds good honestly. If i ever go to europe i’ll 100% try it. Fat chance, but if i ever do. Thanks for describing the taste btw
As far as I know you can only get it in Slovakia and Czech Republic (maaaybe Poland, but not so sure about that one) Source: am from Slovakia, but living in Nordic country now. Edit: I should look for more polish shops…thanks for informing me that Kofola does indeed made it outside EU…I’m proud •́ ‿ ,•̀
Polish grocery stores generally have it in the UK.
Thanks for the recommendation, one more thing to look forward to when I visit Prague in May :)
Nice! Do you like cheese? If so, try to find the fried cheese, it’s called “smažák” or “smažený syr” - it’s deep fried cheese with fries and mayo - sounds simple, but it’s the best unhealthy food you can eat!
Ugh. I don’t know how anyone likes anise/black licorice flavor… It turns my stomach.
Then again there are people who’d wonder how I don’t like it…
Don’t try Dutch drop then 😄
That’s what makes the world interesting - everyone likes something different :)
Yep!
To be honest you got my attention.
By what you described i feel like adding a bit of gentian to it it would make a decent cocktail
Afri Cola and Fritz Cola are two popular alternatives in Germany. I personally like Fritz Cola. Not sure if they are sold internationally.
What about VitaCola? VitaCola is the best!
Fritz Cola is great! Might be my favourite overall.
Club-Cola!
But it tastes like shit.
Kofola is great. Especially from the tap.
Alright, fine! I’ve given in and ordered some. Thank goodness there are some shops in the UK that stock it.
Cocta fans assemble!
I need to taste Cocta before I die
Cocta is actually really good. It’s fundamentally like any other cola, but with mild herbal aftertaste which is really nice and refreshing. I need to try Kofola tho. I was in Czechia few years ago, if I knew I need to try it I’d look for it back then.
Back in the nineties I was on holiday in the city Mêlník Czech Republic, and I was drinking Citro Cola there and fondly remember the lemony cola.
Coke with a splash of lemon tastes nothing like it, you get closer to the taste of Citro Cola by adding 40ml lemon juice to Coke but then it’s too acidic.
Lately I was checking out Czech webshops and found they sold Citro Cola syrup but not anymore.
Does anyone from the Czech Republic know if you still can get Citro Cola?
It’s nice, but it tastes different to coke.
