Asahi’s Green Cola is “Green”
How I wish I’m living in Japan right now. They have so many interesting products. They have alternative colas like the one I’m writing right now – Green Cola! It’s not green literally. The cola is named “Green” for being green :)
The folks over at GIGAZINE reviewed the Green Cola product, it’s said that Asahi Green Cola is made from selected raw materials derived from plants such as fruits, with cola’s own dynamism and briskness.
- It’s caffeine-free, preservative-free and colourant-free.
- Listed ingredients are: high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, lemon juice, malt extract and flavourants.
Apparently there is no caramel coloring so it’s assumed that the color could have come from malt. The aftertaste is sort of maltish. Priced at 147 yen for a 500ml bottle, it’s a decent drink provided that you aren’t craving for the usual cola taste!
Product looks interesting, would love to give it a try if they do offer these type of drinks here. But we only have those normal cola and pepsi drinks X(

Cola used to be green if I’m not wrong. It turned black thanks to tons and tons of colouring.

Cola always had caramel colouring, so it was black from the start. The only thing that have changed (other than adding more artificial flavouring and replacement of sweeteners) is the replacement of cocaine and kola nut for caffeine.
