Germans have a way of making even cola a metaphysical subject. Apparently, this commercial from the 60s helped Afri-Cola regain its influence on the German market. The slogan? "Everything is in Afri-Cola". It's like a promise of a mystic entry into an etherness.
And maybe they are right insofar as the caffeine is concerned. There's 250mg/L in the recipe. Every time they try to lower the content, they lose marketshare — so it looks like they survive by because they've got their customers hooked. Apparently, the company the imports this cola to the United States advertises it as "the highest allowable caffeine content by law".
While everything may not be in Afri-Cola, I would imagine one would feel this way after drinking a bottle. Caffeine can be an ugly bastard. Just ask the miserable fellow who is shaking at 1am and cannot sleep a wink.

yes, caffine, yes oh yes!
Reminds me of Jolt marketed, I'm guessing, around 12 years ago.
I think their slogan was "all the caffine and twice the sugar".
Where do you find these things?
Keep creating,
Mike
