It's a cola. If you don't like it, don't drink it. I do not prefer it.

It's beyond "just a cola." It's like they strained water through rotten wheat fiber and carbonated it.

It's by far one of the nastiest things I've tried. Ever.

I kind of like it. Reminds me of RC Cola for some reason. I heard it's owned by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, though.

Its not cola. Its based on Wheat Coffee. I had wheat coffee in Poland and in some European countries. Tastes the same except here is sweet and fizzy here. I think Its pretty good.

It's Barley Soda. I love the stuff. At least in small doses. It seems to get nastier if you drink a lot at once.

When I first came to Korea I was pretty open-minded about trying new stuff. I bought a McCol at a neighbourhood "super" and the old man said "You like McCol?!" "Sure," I said. I left the store and opened the can. As I took my first swig, I pretty much puked it up through my nose. Good times.

"It's Korean Coca-cola!" I was told by my Korean friend. I decided to buy one, instead of a diet coke, for my hour long bus ride. Big mistake...

It's what happens when you strain coke through my dingle berries and I get sick and vomit a little coffee into the vat.

It's supposed to be some kind of beer flavoured pop. I guess companies what the young ones to get used to the taste of beer.
