A cola is a sweet carbonated drink, usually with caramel flavoring, that frequently contains caffeine. The flavor of the drink comes from a mixture of vanilla, cinnamon, and citrus.

The drink may also caffeine-free, and although some people (perhaps with a touch of irony) disagree on calling such a drink a cola, neither the cola companies themselves nor the vast majority of consumers would make such a distinction. The name comes from kola nuts that are often used in production.

Cola drinks may be sweetened with some form of sugar or with an artificial sweetener.

Cola is very popular drink among hackers and other groups of youth.

Producers of Cola are: Coca-Cola Company, Pepsico and various local producers.
