What Was Count Cola?
Count Cola was a type of cola drink, similar to other fizzy drinks you might know. It was known for its unique flavour and how it was advertised.
How Was Count Cola Advertised?
Count Cola had a very memorable way of advertising! Its commercials and labels featured a friendly, green cartoon character who looked like Dracula. This "Count Dracula" character helped make the drink stand out and was probably quite popular with kids at the time.
What Did Count Cola Bottles Look Like?
When Count Cola first came out, its bottles had a special kind of label. These labels were made from a thin material called polystyrene. Many soft drinks used this type of label back then. Count Cola's labels were easy to spot because they had cool diagonal stripes in pink and yellow colours.
What Did Count Cola Taste Like?
If you ever wondered what Count Cola tasted like, people who tried it said it was very similar to another cola drink called Schweppes Cola, which also isn't made anymore. The special flavour of Count Cola came from mixing two tastes: classic cola and raspberry. This raspberry flavour was also known as "portello" in some places.
Count Cola was a unique part of Australian soft drink history, remembered for its fun character and distinctive taste.
