Edit: looks like there's another Pop Cola brand in the Philippines owned by the actual Coca Cola, lol. The one I got is actually produced in the EU, by Merlin's Beverages, headquartered at Piatra Neamศ›, Romania.

@FelixCress can't remember seeing it in the stores where I live, but I'll check it out as well if I will

It is excellent, I prefer it to coca cola or pepsi. It has this delicate hint of lemon as well.

Can recommend a mysoda carbonator + mysoda cola or whatever taste you like best.

Also, avoid sodastream like the plague

Do yourself a favor and check out the Mojito syrup from Teisseire (France), it's the absolutely greatest shit, especially in summer.

That's a different one in the Philippines, OP's Pop Cola is a brand of Merlins Beverages in Romania.

@atro_city I think you found the wrong Pop Cola. The one from Romania is owned by Merlin's Beverages, from Piatra Neamศ›

Could you please add that to the description of your post? It really isn't clear.

@atro_city sure, no problem. Didn't really know there was another Pop Cola lol ๐Ÿ˜€)
