All generic colas taste like crap.

Even coca cola tastes like crap.

It's not Coke, but it's not bad for the price. Better than McCols, for sure.

The E-mart cola's not awful, but I've had better. I prefer their cider to the cola.
I really can't think of too many drinks that aren't better than McCols. Actually my avatar looks a bit like I did after I tried it! Very Happy

I've had generic cola that tastes like chicken, liquid chicken, it's amazing how they can do that. However the most amazing thing is, we drink that shit.

I like the cider too. It's hard to find sometimes though. I remember Homeplus not having theirs for the longest time. Never did know why, but I thought maybe it outsold the Chilsung brand, so they backed off selling it.
Have to admit the cola is in fact awful, but not as bad as McCols. Wink

I drank McCols. My wife thought it was generic cola. I realized it wasn't as the smell hit my noise a quarter second before the liquid hit my tongue. That was full of fail.

I hate it when you get up in the night for a quick drink to destroy that pillow licking taste, and in your drowsy state grab milk instead of orange juice. Even though milk is good, it tastes disgusting when you don't expect it.

Consider yourself lucky. The closest thing I can describe it as would be a coffee flavored cola. Again, my avatar says it best. You can find it at any Family Mart/GS-25 in the cold drinks section.
Stay far, far away!

Emart cola? Bad. Buy Coke or Pepsi.

Hey, not to criticize, because to be sure, I have plenty of my own food and drink indulgences, especially beer and coffee. But cola, even the originals like coke and pepsi, is just carbonated, carmelized, caffeinated, sugar water. Why do people drink that silly stuff??

On a side note, I read that carbonated soft drinks are one of the leading causes in the increase in USA obesity since the 1960's.

I got it to mix my whiskey in. Other than that, I don't drink cola or any soft drink--I'm a water, coffee, and whiskey kinda guy.
