Good budget cola

[hux]

I'll admit i like my pepsi max and rc cola, if not a bit too much.

I've tried tesco's and it's not bad, but it's certainly no replacement.

So have any of you found a good cheap diet alternative?

Barrs Cola is my cola of choice. Makes the finest rum & coke out there.

Not sure if they do a diet version though...

I quite enjoyed the Tesco Cola too. To be honest though, Coke is still my favourite.

I actually rather like the ASDA own brand diet one. Not the super cheapo white label 28p for 2 Litre one, the one thats silver label and is 48p per 2 Litre, bonus is that its on offer for 3 for a quid rather often. Can't beat 6 litre for a quid.

I prefer it to regular Coca-Cola.

Obviously, probably not everyones cup of tea. It has a different aftertaste I prefer. YMMV.

Tesco's is fine, and at 52p for 2 litres it's a bargain. Co-op's is acceptable too, but is about 10-12p more expensive than Tesco.

Do you still get virgin cola? That stuff was awful.

Notice the price a few weeks ago? IT went up from 52p upto 78p in a matter of 8 weeks. The nall of a sudden it back down. I think its because they were trying to push their arsey cola. Whcih aint great tbh!

The Lidl American Cola is lovely.

I noticed that, and also I notice these price shifts on a lot of other Tesco own-brand products too. Glad the cola came back down.

The orangeade is good as well although nothing beats red kola

This!!!! First thing I thought of.

So not at all biased then?


Also, just for the record... Spar cola is probably one of the worst on the market. It's about a quid a bottle and tastes way too rich/sickly imo. Not undrinkable, but for the price it isn't worth it.

Rolacola.

Sainsburys premium american cola. something like 80p for 2 litres but I prefer it to coke or pepsi.

Yep, the Sainsbury's stuff is good.

Barr's cola was best when it was Strike Cola

I'd have to go with this too. Probably the best cheap cola I have tasted, though I still prefer the real stuff.

Cheap? No.

Fail reply? Yes.

 

[Van Hellseek]

I seem to be able to tell the difference a lot more after a couple of days in the fridge. Proper coke gets flatter, but retains it's richness, whereas cheaper colas go flat and taste more watery.

Possibly just me, but definately my own fault for not drinking it quick enough.

Cheap? No.

But it is stonkingly amazing! Curiosity Cola bliss.
