Ubuntu seems to become a rather favorite term for a number of things right now, from a computer operating system to now a cola drink. Both are good in their own rights, but the computer program is not what we shall be looking at here, however. The Cola, on the other hand, is.I had the opportunity to, for the first time, I must admit, try this Cola drink at the launch of Fairtrade Fortnight on Sunday, February 24, 20087 at London's South Bank, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised as to its taste.
Generally, I no longer drink Cola or Cola-like drinks simply because of the “after bite”, for lack of a better word, from the over-carbonation that often takes your breath away, literally.
Ubuntu Cola appears to have a great deal less carbon dioxide in it than do most other Colas and therefore, in my opinion, has a much more pleasant taste and goes down far more smoothly than others.
The one thing that still will not make me come back to drinking Colas, even Ubuntu Cola, though, is the fact that Ubuntu Cola too, like all other Colas, list phosphoric acid in its ingredients. Personally I do not like the idea of drinking, if I can help it, any substance that is used to clean metals, for instance, as phosphoric acid is.
Pros:
Very pleasant taste due to lower amount of carbon dioxide used.
Cons:
Like all Colas, it contains phosphoric acid.
If you do like Cola, however, and don't, unlike me, mind the phosphoric acid which, as said, is an ingredient in all Colas, as far as I can see and also in Dr. Pepper, then Ubuntu Cola is the one I would recommend to you. I will chose it should I decide that, for some reason, I do want to drink a Cola, that is for certain.
