Polo Cockta

Polo-Cockta (sometimes written as Polo Cockta or Polo-Cocta) is a Polish cola drink introduced in the 1970s.

Polo-Cockta was introduced as a substitute for the original Coca-Cola, which was unavailable in Polish shops due to limits on exports from the US to soviet bloc countries.

At first it was based on Cockta, a very popular drink from Slovenia (then SFR Yugoslavia).

[1] Polo-Cockta was discontinued during the 1980s, but has been revived for a few years by a private company Zbyszko which acquired all the rights to the brand, reacting to the ever-popular demand for PRL-stylised products, an element of "PRL nostalgia".

Polo-Cockta has made a significant appearance in the Polish film Kingsajz by Juliusz Machulski, where it was a major plot device.
