At YEG Exotic, we’re always on the hunt for sodas with bold flavours and rich histories, and Afri Cola is one that truly stands out. Originating in Germany in the 1930s, Afri Cola has built a cult following around the world for its delicious, rich, and flavourful taste and unique cultural influence. Known for its high caffeine content and iconic branding, this soda is a must-try for anyone seeking an exotic beverage that’s more than just a drink—it’s a piece of soda history.

What Is Afri Cola?

Afri Cola is a premium German cola with a bold, slightly herbal taste that sets it apart from mainstream brands. With its dark, fizzy profile, this soda delivers a strong cola flavour that is less sweet than American colas, giving it a crisp, refreshing edge. Originally launched in 1931 by the German company F. Blumhoffer Nachfolger GmbH, Afri Cola became a cultural symbol in post-war Germany and a staple of European soda culture.

Its unique glass bottle design—slim, curvy, and embossed with a palm tree logo—has made Afri Cola instantly recognizable and a collector’s favourite worldwide.

Why Afri Cola Is Special

• High Caffeine Kick – Afri Cola is famous for its strong caffeine content, making it a great pick-me-up drink.

• Unique Flavour – Less sweet than other colas, with a delicious, rich, flavourful taste that blends cola spices with subtle herbal notes.

• Cultural Icon – From 1960s counterculture movements to modern design enthusiasts, Afri Cola has remained a symbol of individuality and coolness.

• Exotic Appeal – Hard to find in Canada, Afri Cola is one of those rare sodas that you’ll only see on shelves at specialty shops like YEG Exotic.

A Soda with History and Style

Afri Cola’s reputation isn’t just about taste—it’s also about attitude. In the 1960s and 70s, the soda gained worldwide attention thanks to edgy advertising campaigns that made it synonymous with rebellion, individuality, and artistic flair.
