Scho-Ka-Kola

Scho-Ka-Kola is a German brand of chocolate consumed for its strong caffeine and kola nut mix.

It was introduced at the 1936 Summer Olympics as a performance-enhancing energy "Sport Chocolate" (German Sportschokolade).

In World War II, Scho-Ka-Kola was colloquially known as the "Aviator Chocolate" (German Fliegerschokolade), as it was commonly provided with Luftwaffe pilot and crew rations to induce or extend wakefulness and alertness, especially on night-bombing missions, and was also issued to flight crews in blue canisters as emergency sea-survival rations (German Seenotpackung).

Scho-Ka-Kola is mentioned three times in Johann Voss's World War II autobiography, Black Edelweiss.

Currently it is made by a subsidiary in Berlin and available across Germany and distributed in a limited number of foreign countries.
