[3] To update its image, the company hired designer and photographer Charles Wilp who created a controversial and attention-grabbing marketing campaign (with lustful nuns drinking Afri-Cola) which positioned the brand in Germany's new-age landscape.

Eventually, in 1998, German beverage company Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach AG bought all rights to Afri-Cola and Bluna.

[6] This mixture was also not sufficiently successful and on 1 April 2006, the company finally changed back to the original recipe, with caffeine content of 250 mg/L.

In the mid-1990s, Real Soda LLC, a U.S. company, started importing Afri Cola into the United States, largely in the Seattle area.

Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach AG itself exports Afri-Cola to Austria, France, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

The USA product is in the same original high-caffeine formula and is sold in a 330 ml (11 US fl oz) version of the iconic Afri Cola glass bottle.

[9] Afri Cola figures prominently in Volker Kutscher's 2014 detective novel Märzgefallene, set in 1933 Berlin and Cologne.
