Columbian Cola
History
To be honest, I cant tell you much about Columbian Cola except for he fact it's a product of Australia. I've only seen the drink sold in two places, a small privately owned fruit and vegetable market and a computer gaming LAN in the city. So it's probably one of the more rare energy drinks sold in Australia. But I've got to say, I love the name.
Taste (6/10)
The taste of Columbian Cola is as the name suggests, a cola. While not being up to the standards of Coca-Cola or Pepsi, the drink still inst as bad as some of the cheaper alternatives. Overall, the taste wasn't bad but definitely inst anything new. The only real reason I'd buy this again would be for the awesome name, old school looking bottle and cheap price(under $2). If the taste was improved, i could see this drink having more potential.
Ingredients/Boost (6/10)
Ingredients (per 100 ml)
caffeine: 32 mg
Taurine: 160 mg
Sugar: 10.1 g
At the bottom of the bottle the label reads "This cola is not for wimps", while being funny it isn't exactly correct. The drink is probably one of the weaker energy drinks per 100 ml on the Australian market, but makes up for this through the size per cost ratio. the drink is only sold in 330 ml bottles and is cheaper than most 250 ml canned energy drinks. So in that respect, the drink is actually quite good value for money. The actual boost from drinking the bottle was pretty similar to the boost you can expect from a can of V. Columbian Cola is good for when you want a small kick, but don't want to be bouncing off the walls.
Overall (6/10)
