We test supermarket cola brands - better than the Real Thing?
There's only one Coca Cola, but how do supermarket own dupe brands compete with the Real Thing? Here we test six.
Tesco Classic Cola
70p for 2l, 4p per 100ml,
4.4g sugar
A very dark brown, treacle-like colour with a pretty unpleasant taste.
Rating: 2/5
Asda Cola
70p for 2l, 3.5p per 100ml,
4.5g sugar
Good value and the deep flavour make it a useful cut-price mixer with booze.
Rating: 3/5
Morrisons Cola
89p for 2l, 4.5p per 100m,
4.8g sugar
'Not quite but almost' copy, this is costlier than other options but the flavour would fool you.
Rating: 4/5
Lidl Freeway Cola
55p for 2l, 2.8p per 100ml,
4.9g sugar
If you need to save cash, this dark caramel-coloured dupe compares very well and is cheap.
Rating: 4/5
Aldi Vive Cola Original
55p for 2l, 2.8p per 100ml,
4.9g sugar
Does the job if you want a big bottle of the brown stuff for the family without costing too much.
Rating: 3/5
Cola by Sainsbury's
70p for 2l, 4p per 100ml,
4.8g sugar
Really impressive. Does a very good job of emulating the taste and smell of the original
Rating: 4/5
