In Czechia, RC Cola is locally produced by Kofola [0]. Kofola itself is a cola-like drink invented in 1959 [1] in communist Czechoslovakia as a better alternative to western Coca Cola (and in Czechia it is still considered much tastier than Coca Cola or Pepsi). But me personally I prefer the Kofola's RC Cola suger-free variant, as it is the least weird tasting sugar-free cola-like drink I ever encountered.

- morbicer 3y agoIt was not invented as "better" alternative, just to have something that can be produced from local ingredients. Fun fact: When there was a shortage of caffeine they extracted it from coffee roasting soot [1] For the record I like Kofola more than Coke/Pepsi [1] https://dvojka.rozhlas.cz/kofola-s-nedostatkem-kofeinu-se-pri-vyrobe-nepocitalo-zuzitkovaly-se-saze-8220735 https://dvojka.rozhlas.cz/kofola-s-nedostatkem-kofeinu-se-pr...
