Haven't seen this one before. If I am ever in ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช Belgium, I'll keep an eye out for it. The only two European colas I know are Afri Kola and Fritz Kola. Both are ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, I think. They are pretty good and have extra caffeine versions, which are basically energy drinks. Though as much as I hate to admit it, they're not as good as coca cola. Probably because all the advertising and childhood memories have lobotomized me. ๐Ÿ˜…

Alternative brands like fritz have become the default so much, I'm sometimes surprised to see coca cola still being served in some places and automatically assume they don't care about the drinks they offer.

In Norway many of the grocery chain monopolies have their own cheap Cola version.

store brands here are about a third the price (36% currently), it's what i get for at home. i only get 'the real thing' when i'm getting a meal somewhere.
