Rental Store Cola

MrMoonX · 4 Jul 2009 at 20:46

A certain massive DVD rental store chain has launched its own cola, whilst there tonight they offered a free taste and tbh their diet cola was pretty good, however 99p for a big bottle isnt a great saving on normal coke.
I bought a bottle anyway and its a great taste for a non coke cola, much better than those supermarket coke rip offs.

Has anyone else tried it yet?

Rip-offs? You mean those 19p carbonated bottles of wee?

didnt see any of that but its 99p for a big bottle and they do little ones as well in the very familiar silver for diet and red for fat cola

You can usually get pepsi or coca cola from supermarket for £1 per 2ltr bottle or two for £2. also near me you can often get the 1.5ltr bottle for less than 330ml can, which just seems bizarre.

I'm an assistant manager for them. tried the cola a few weeks ago. Didn't try the diet stuff, but the regular version is alright.

Is the rental store a competitor? If not, name it.

The only non-Coke cola I like is the Virgin Cola... Wouldnt mind trying this new coke but seems strange for a rental store to start their own brand of beverage - most folk would stop off at Asda for their goodies on the way home with a new rental.

So do you own the empty bottle when youve finished it or do they ask for it back to refill for the next customer? ;-)

I tried it, tasted like tap pepsi with to much powder. I dont drink much pop though, prefer squash.

even on offer normal coke is 2 for £2.70..
So it's a pretty good saving if it's good.
can't bead Dr peppers zero though. It's been on a £1 offer for months and months.
