colas

Caffeinated soft drinks

Colas is the plural of cola—carbonated soft drinks flavored with kola nut extract, or more commonly today, artificial cola flavoring.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi dominate the category, but generic colas abound: The store brand colas are half the price.

Cola also names the tropical tree whose caffeine-rich nuts originally flavored these drinks.
