    I was in Spar the other day, and I discovered Ubuntu Cola! :eek: LOL
    Yes, Ubuntu Cola :)

    Apparently it's existed for some time, but I had never seen it or heard about it before. It says it's not affiliated to the Linux distribution, and it's just named ubuntu because it's fairtrade, so they thought the african word ubuntu (humanity to others) was a good name.

    Was I the last person to find out? Anyway, I felt so geeky drinking it hehe.

    YOUR not the only person to find out about this late, I am too. That's weird that you post this thread now, as I just literally found out about it 2 nights ago.

    They should have followed Ubuntu Linux and give it out for free :)

    Anyway the packaging isn't attractive, too bland, wonder how does it taste like?

    It's the typical cola flavour, closer to coca cola than to pepsi i would say, and a bit less sweet

    Well, not fairtrade or unfairtrade sugar or anything will cause me to betray Pepsi Cola! The real Cola :)

    Yeah that's the idea, and that money is supposed to go to the third world producers. In this case, they say it goes to the people who produce the sugar in the third world.
