Freeway Cola

I have always been a big fan of cola and have tended to stick with the big name brands, such as Pepsi or Coca cola as I believed the tasted to be better and for the fizz to last longer. With the major brands no costing up to £1.79 for a 2L bottle and with our family going through at least five a week, I decided it was time to test some alternatives. We used Sainsburys American Cola for a while at 59p a bottle and we were quite happy with this until I came across an even better bargain. We have a Lidl's store just down the road from us so we decided to try a cheaper version of cola. Lidl's have ... more

I took my Daughter to the park the Yesterday. As she swung merrily away the woman next to me was drinking a can of 'Diet Coke'. 'That's bad for your wallet!' I explained, pulling out a 2 litre bottle of Freeway cola from my carrier bag and a paper cup. I poured a drink and told her to taste it. This she did and said it was very nice.

Freeway comes in red quite fancy suit (plain edition) and in silver one (light edition) just like Coca Cola - I really never follow the marketing departments ... more

First things first. Freeway cola and cola light is available in most Lidl stores and fits somewhere between their cheap cola brand (which I will not recommend, as it tastes cheap and syrupy) and the cut-price brand name colas often found on the shelves. It comes in a curvy 2 litre bottle with a red label, which seems to have been influenced heavily by the iconic Cola-cola bottle; it does not look cheap at all. Diet comes in silver. 500ml bottles are also available in six-packs - there is a slight premium on price as obviously there is more packaging etc. Both Cola and Cola Light are now ... more
