40Kola

Rating: 7.0/10

Review: A nice plain cola, fizzy but the taste isn't much.

40Kola Cut

Rating: 6.9/10

Review: A nice plain cola, fizzy but the taste isn't much. Tastes worse than 40Kola in a way I can't put my finger on.

40Kola Lemon and Lime

Rating: 7.4/10

Review: A nice light soda

A&W Root Beer

TODO

Barr Bubblegum

Rating: 6.6/10

Review: Bubblegum tasting, but is very overwhelming and ends up tasting a bit bland after a while. It's very strong leaving no room for any subtle flavours.

Barr DnB

Rating: 6.8/10

Review: Dandelion and burdock made cheaply available. Tastes good, but not as good as bottled.

Bundaberg Root Beer

Cartman's Root beer

Club Mate

Rating: 8.3/10

Review: TODO

> Club-Mate, favorite drink of the Chaos Computer Club

Club Mate Winter Edition

Rating: 8.5/10

Review: Like Club Mate, but it has a few additives like Cinnamon that gives it a spicier taste that I quite like. The taste reminds me of Gingerbread so is perfect for Christmas time.

> Club Mate is a not very sweet, dry soda made in Germany. Super popular with the Hacktiirs, its pronounced MAH-TEY! (Cf. Yerba Mate Tea)

Coca Cola

Rating: 4.4/10

Review: Fairly bland. It dries out my mouth and leaves me thirstier afterwards, so it fails at being a drink that satisfies your thirst. I suspect this is a carefully decided chemical dark pattern to make people buy another coca cola. Still, it's okay and generally agreeable.

> Wherever you go, there are three icons that everyone knows: Jesus Christ, Pele and Coca-Cola.

Diet Coca Cola

Rating: N/A

Review: N/A

> There are now more obese people in the United States than there are overweight people. I think it's safe to say that after all these years, Diet Coke is a complete failure.

Fentimen's Cherry Cola

Fentimen's Dandelion and Burdock

Francis Hartridges Dandelion and Burdock

Rating: 8.0/10

Review:

> You're rarer than a can of Dandelion & Burdock

Francis Hartridges Original Cola

Rating: 8.2/10

Review: A plain cola that isn't too much or too overpowering. Fairly plain and tastes good, especially when aerated.

> Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?

frijj: Fudge Brownie flavour

Rating: 6.0/10

Review: An ok milkshake. Not my favourite flavour and tastes as it is on the tin, of fudge. Because it's milk and probably because of additives in it, it makes feel a little rubbish after finishing drinking it, but at the start, it is refreshing and cool.

Irn-Bru

Rating:7.4/10

Review:

> It's not a drink from those crazy Yanks, because it's made right here you know it's tougher than tanks

Liquid Death Severed Lime

Monster Energy

Rating: 2.6/10

Review: Tastes like battery acid and heartburn.

Monster Energy: Pipeline Punch

Rating: 7.9/10

Review: Pink Monster, tastes sweet, not the candy or fruity sweet but just sweet, but not too sweet like other flavours

Monster Energy: Pacific Punch

Rating: 7.6/10

Review: A more fruity tasting Monster Energy that retains a lot of the sweetness as Pipeline Punch. I feel like it is inferior and a bit too overwhelming in taste after a bit, but not as bad as Monarch or Khaotic.

Monster Energy: Monarch

Rating: 6.0/10

Review: A candy like sweetness to Monster, too sweet, but not bad. Does make you feel a bit ill after drinking it all though.

Monster Energy: Khaotic

Rating: 5.8/10

Review: Sweeter than Monarch but an indistinct and candy-like sweet that makes you feel a bit ill after drinking it, but to begin with it's quite nice.

Monster Energy: Zero Ultra

Rating: 7.4

Review: Kinda bland, but at least it doesn't make you sick to drink. Tastes sort of sweet too.

Pepsi

Rating: 6.2/10

Review: Still fairly bland and uninspiring, but it doesn't leave you as thirsty after you drink. I think it's better than Coca Cola, but not exactly amazing.

> Imagine Pepsi without Coke. Impossible, right?

Pepsi Max

Rating: 5.2/10

Review: It's Pepsi but cheaper and it certainly tastes cheaper. Additionally, whatever chemical formula they use, makes it fizz a lot more when being poured, so it wastes your time when preparing a drink.

> Maximum taste, no sugar.

Royal Crown Cola(RC Cola)

Rating: 6.8/10

Review: A drink I had in the Philippines. It's a competitor to Coca Cola, and it's a hell of a lot better than Coke.

Sprite

Rating: 6.7/10

Review: Lemonade

Red Bull

Rating: 6.8/10

> Red Bull gives you wings

Red Kola

Rating: 7.1/10

Review: Made by the same company as Irn-Bru, and cheaper. It has little resemblence to Coca Cola, being red and just fizzy, but it does satisfy your thirst and tastes fairly sweet.

> Better Red than Dead
