A three-person panel pitched own-brand cola drinks from supermarkets against Coca-Cola to find out if the original would come out on top - but the result was unexpected.
A team of consumer gurus have compared the taste of Coca-Cola to dupes in Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and other supermarket brands – with surprising results.
The three-person panel sampled eight different cola drinks, including the iconic Coca-Cola and 49p 2L alternative from Aldi as well as those at Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Marks and Spencer, and Lidl. One taster remarked: "My favourite is A and I think that is Coca-Cola. It tastes more full than the other ones and with genuine coke it has a distinctive sweetness and taste about it. It was definitely my firm favourite."
Aldi's VIVE Cola is available in 2L bottles and also in six-packs of 330ml cans. The budget supermarket offers zero sugar and diet options, as well as a cherry version.
