It’s Faygo’s worst soda variety, to be honest. I think they make a cola because they are expected to. It isn’t terrible, but all their varieties of soda are much better than this.

I have had Thums Up cola from India many years ago. I don’t remember it being terrible.

Right, whereas cola is a citrus/cinnamon/vanilla flavor with phosphoric acid. Very little if any overlap.

But the OP is trying to pay off a bet with the most obnoxious cola drink possible. Is it breaking the letter or spirit of the bet if the most obnoxious cola drink doesn’t happen to have cola flavoring, as long as it’s owned by the Coca-Cola company?
