Cola

Soft Drinks

Cola is a carbonated soft drink flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, citrus oils and other flavorings. It is typically sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners, and modern colas usually have a dark caramel color. Its name comes from the kola nut, though modern formulations generally use other caffeine sources. A kola-based soda appeared in the United States around 1880. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are the most popular cola brands.
