Turkish Cola
By from November 7, 2005
The always inspiring, supportive, and incredibly nice Shayla brought this soda loving man a treat from her recent traveling adventures in Turkey. Cola Turka (amazing Turkish flash intro on their website btw) is made by Ülker which appears to make many different kinds of chocolates and such and also has a TV station...maybe. The design for Cola Turka almost, and I repeat ALMOST has the vibe of an American grocery store generic cola in that it is simple, but it is soo much better. The white text on red and red text on white is classy and the stars are like super awesome clip art.
While getting deep on Cola Turka, I found a cool commercial that ya'll can check out.
I debated briefly whether or not to crack open the Cola Turka, but being a believer in the concept that things are meant to be experienced and not looked at (aka impatience) I promptly opened my Cola Turka not 24 hours after being presented with it. The taste was pleasant, it's closest relative being RC Cola, but not quite exactly RC. I would definitely drink Cola Turka again. A truly radical present, thank you very much Shayla.

Honestly a very good photo of the can, and I like the web site a lot.

Have you seen the Chevy Chase spots for this? Hilarious.

I've written a review of this cola on my Swedish cola site fulcola.com (http://booring.com/fulcola/showcola.asp?id=83). Its taste is very similar to that of Coca-cola, but with a different kind of sweetness to it. I gave this cola 4.5/5 for taste, 5/5 for the appearence and 4.5/5 for the can. Nice!
