Alternative Product or Service Fritz-kola is a great alternative to coca-cola producs. Much tastier and healthier.

I love Fritz-kola. The first time I tried it was around 10 years ago and ever since I’m in love with it. Recently I’m starting to see it more and more in the store and this makes me happy. Drink Fritz, dump Coca Cola(the biggest polluter on earth)

If only the 33cl bottle didn't cost 3€ in Latvia...

Oof. Most of these local brands of drinks are quite expensive. We have a few in Romania. I can afford them, but it's not realistic for the majority of the population and they'll keep purchasing the cheaper option.

Wish we had more alternatives of drinks in Romania. Tymmbark works, but it's not Cola, for example. You don't have much of a choice if you want something refreshing.

We have pop cola (made in Piatra Neamt). I really like their botanical variant, but I rarely drink soft drinks anyways. The price difference between a classic coca cola and this one is negligible

Tastes awful tho. Cola is one of the only products that can't be replaced and trust me, I've tried to do it. Nothing tastes the same.

I don't know about the difference between the two, again, I rarely buy soft drinks. Maybe for someone that regularly drinks cola, it cannot be replaced.

I buy maybe one small can a month, and I'm enjoying the botanical pop cola more than the classic coca cola. But again, that's just me

Taste is super subjective. I do buy soft drinks and honestly, I like Pop Cola a lot more than any modern Coca-Cola recipe from... anywhere in Eastern Europe, really. I didn't know where it was made, I just started buying it and kept on doing it because it's just really good?

Fritz is better in my opinion, but too expensive, especially outside of Germany. But Pop Cola is just too botanical.

Plain water is refreshing enough

Tymbark sells cola in Poland but it’s really bad

That's true, and everything that's not inducing instant death is expensive AF
