Polo-Cockta (sometimes written as 'Polo Cockta' or 'Polo-Cocta') is a Polish Coca-Cola-like drink introduced in the 1970s. The origins of Polo-Cockta are pretty clear - lack of Coca-Cola in Polish shops because of limited import from USA to Eastern European countries. Polo-Cockta was discontinued during the 1980s, but has been revived again for a few years by a private company which acquired all rights to the brand while Polish society was in a mood for PRL-styled things. The taste of Polo-Cockta is sometimes described as a mixture of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. It can be bought only in Poland. Currently the brand is dead, however Polo-Cocta still lives as Polo-cocta plus which is actually Polo-cocta with the name changed. It exists in a variety of flavours which include the original taste, coffee taste (very popular) and others. It is made by ZBYSZKO company a private own company which produces drinks. The Polo-cocta has made a significant appearance in Polish culture and like the US original it made it to the movies. Polo-cocta has been the centre plot of the movie "Kingsajz" which is a parody of the People's Republic of Poland.
