Afri-Cola soft drink

afri-cola is a legendary German soft drink brand, recognized globally for its distinctive palm tree logo and its iconic hourglass-shaped glass bottle designed by Jupp Ernst. Launched in 1931, it quickly became a cultural symbol in Germany, particularly noted for its high caffeine content compared to other colas during the mid-20th century.

While the brand was originally founded by F. Blumhoffer Nachfolger GmbH in Cologne, it is now owned by the Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach KGaA. The production is centralized in Germany, maintaining its heritage as a premium local alternative to international cola brands. Today, it remains a staple in German gastronomy and retail, celebrated for its unique recipe and retro-modern aesthetic.
