Cola Sweets

The History of Cola and Cola Sweets

Cola is a carbonated soft drink flavoured with vanilla, cinnamon, citrus oils, and other flavourings.

It became popular worldwide after the American pharmacist John Stith Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886.

The original Coca-Cola contained caffeine from the kola nut, which inspired the drink's name. Cola sweets, such as Cola Bottles, are shaped after the classic Coca-Cola style bottles and have a delicious cola flavour. These gummies are typically found in pick and mix selections and are well-known thanks to their Coca-Cola relation and flavour.
