Since the Dr.Pembarton's great invention in 1886, "Cola" have been the most popular softdrink in history. Now they spread out all over the world and successfully settled down in many nations of various cultures, races, histories, and even of ideologies.

Cola also showed their great ability of adopting itself to circumstances and many different styles have been developed in different countries. In U.S., for instance, cola with cherry flavor is quite popular, while Japanese rather prefer one with citrus taste. In Australia many kinds of alcohol-cola are sold in liquor shop and in China they often serve room-temperature cola even on the airplane. There is no doubt that Cola is one of the most diverse kind of softdrink.
