Afri Cola soft drink

Afri-Cola is a storied German soft drink brand, originally registered in 1931 by F. Blumhoffer Nachfolger GmbH in Cologne. It became a cultural icon in Germany during the 1960s and 70s, famously known for its high caffeine content and its unique, ergonomically shaped glass bottle designed by Jupp Ernst. The brand represents a significant piece of German pop culture history, often marketed with avant-garde advertising campaigns.

While the brand faced intense competition from global giants in the late 20th century, it underwent a major revival under new ownership. Today, the brand is owned by the Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach KGaA group. Production is centered in Germany, often through regional bottling partners that maintain the traditional recipe and distinctive packaging that fans have recognized for decades.
