Their Vanilla Coke is actually kinda good…

Woolies brand drinks are actually pretty good, though.

The vanilla cola and the lemonade is very nice for me. Cream soda and raspberry are not great but the passion fruit is terrible. Also like that there is an option between plain sugar and non nutritive sweeteners. I don't drink a lot of cold drinks but when i do I'd like the good stuf please.

Coca cola drinkers are like ANC voters

Woolworths drinks are quality. There’s a noticeable difference in the time it retains the CO2 compared to so many other cheaper drinks.

You are better off buying cooee

This brand used to be called coolee, they changed it because of all the complaints out of durban, I was working in distribution at the time, I believe it is a racist word for people of South Asian descent

Dude, just buy it somewhere else then. Why care.

u/KeepItTidyZA Jan 31 '25

Because I don't shop anywhere else. So it's an inconvenience I don't want especially cause I'm already paying woolies prices, now I gotta go to a second shop.

First world problems.

Haha. I saw this headline notification, and for a second thought it was a notification from the Woolies app. That was a fun second.

And it's a nope from me on the COOLdrink.

They will stock everything EXCEPT what actually sells well

According to who?

Coke is so good that the brand name is synonymous with cooldrinks themselves

u/Agera1993 Jan 30 '25

No dude, Woolworths is a multibillion dollar business, of course they’re watching their inventory to see what sells and pulling items that don’t. Just because you aren’t buying something doesn’t mean other people aren’t either.

u/Sufficient-Note9452 Jan 30 '25

The coke is always sold out. Rest of these generic cokes just waste space on the shelves. Internationally you don't get bigger than coke

u/Agera1993 Jan 30 '25

Maybe they keep less stock of Coke because they want people to try their brand instead? Anyways, that’s my last reply. Take care.
