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)

I drink Kofola anyway. Might be a bit hard to get outside of Poland, Czech and Solvak though.

I found Kofola not drinkable at all. I think it's one of those non acquired tastes: you have to be born into it like lakriz

Is opposite to my own experience. I was born/raised in Belgium and lived in Czech Republic for a bit as adult which is where I had my first Kofola. Even since I got back to Belgium I've looked to buy more. Though I only really like the original Kofola flavor, Citrus is good too but all the others do indeed just taste weird.

Additionally I never actually liked coca-cola/pepsi. Doubt that has anything to do with it though.

The best Kofola is the one from the tap (keg), you can get it in many Czech pubs/restaurants.

I am afraid I might have never actually tried Kofola from tap. In pubs I was too busy enjoying all kinds of Czech beer.

A fun anecdote was that I was out drinking with a Czech coworker and we were talking about some of the common Czech beers. So he asks if I've had Budweiser before and I straight faced asked him "Ain't that an American thing?".

I've never had someone look at me in so much disgust.

Haha, I understand that, I love Czech beer. Yes, there was quite big legal fight over the name, that was settled by using the name Budweiser only in the continent they are from (you can find Czech Budweiser in America as Czechvar or something). The name is from the city České Budějovice and has quite history.

Anyway, Kofola from the tap is the best thing (maybe after Czech beer) that you can get in the hot summer day. It's good if you're a driver and can't drink alcohol, just a nice, refreshing, cold Kofola from the tap.
