The Top 5 Foreign Sodas

In the last five years, Foreign drinks have become more popular among American consumers.  Sodas from abroad in particular are reporting record sales in due part thanks to food trucks.  Consumers are discovering that other countries have great tasting sodas.  I have tried quite a bit of them, and they have been amazing.  So, I present to you the top 5 foreign sodas.

#5  GOOMBAY PUNCH (BAHAMAS)

Named after a style of Bahamian music, Goombay Punch is a street party in a can.  It is the perfect marriage of pineapple and lemon.  It has a very high sugar content, but is delicious.  It comes in 12 oz. cans, 20 oz. bottles, and six packs of 12 oz. cans.  This soda is guaranteed to give you a smile.  The can already does.

#4   INCA KOLA  (PERU)

"The Golden Cola" is South America's best selling cream soda.   It's blend of citrus and vanilla flavors have been tantalizing taste buds since 1935.  In fact, it was developed by a British immigrant by the name of Joseph Robinson Lindley. Lindley found a way to use lemon verbena as a main ingredient into a soft drink, and the rest is history.  INCA KOLA can now be found in the U.S.  You can probably find it in your local specialty grocery store.

#3   PINK TING (JAMAICA)

Considered by many to be the world's best grapefruit soda;  Pink Ting has to be tried to be believed.  Described by many to taste like the popular candy SKITTLES, Pink Ting has a taste that is out of this world.  Pink Ting hit the Jamaican market in 1976 to a huge fanfare.  It is so popular that a Pepsi bottling plant now has the job of being the top producer of Pink Ting.  It's a great POP for all ages.  Absolutely worth a try.

#2     FENTIMANS CURIOSITY COLA (Britain)

Organic and Herbal, Fentimans Curiosity Cola is a must have for any cola lover.  Described as a botanical cola, Curiosity Cola is brewed differently than other colas.  It is brewed alot like root beer, only with alot of more natural ingredients like ginger and pear juice extract.  

  It does contain a tiny bit of alcohol, but it is sold as a soft drink.  It tastes great, and it is amazing in a frosty mug.  It is sure to have you saying WOW several times.  

#1  MEXICAN COCA-COLA (MEXICO/NORTH AMERICA)

Did you know that Mexico is the number one consumer of Coca-Cola in the world?  It's true.  Maybe because they have the most popular soda in the world at the moment.  Mexican Coca-Cola has become a worldwide phenomenon.  It is a staple at taco trucks and taquerias everywhere.  The Coke we have in the U.S. has high fructose corn syrup, which alot of people try to avoid.  Mexican Coke has sugar cane, which gives it a richer taste.  It is bottled at the FEMSA Bottling Plant in Monterrey, Mexico, the largest bottling company in that country.  Mexican Coke is also very popular in New Zealand ans Japan.  It is the superstar of sodas at this moment.

If you are looking to try any of these great sodas, look no further than World Market.  World Market has a great selection of foreign beverages for everyone.  I go there all the time to see what is new.  You should too.
