Brad Tries Inca Kola
I take time out from the busy "Paranoia" schedule to taste the Golden Inca Kola. I also try out Tropicola, Kola Champagne India, and Materva.

I recognized the name from my time in Barbados. Very common flavouring down in those areas.

Yes, i love the inca kola because it tastes like bubblegum lol. There are some peruvian restaurants here that have inka instead of coke for example. You just develope the taste for it, I assure you hehe

I think it got cut off at the end. Good video, hope Paranoia is going well.

Yeah, I doubt I could try a drink that taste like ass to begin with. Nice review as always. Keep up the good work.

kola champaigne is made in puerto rico not india it's the name brand
it also makes my favorite coconut soda coco rico you should try it
it is really good
Reply to this
yes, I can testify! very good stuff. You can easily pick it up in NYC
Reply to this
I enjoy how you pronounce Yerba Mate. It's cute.
Reply to this
Crystal Meth?
im'a buy truckloads of that! sounds good!

I hear the crystal meth drink rots your teeth in about a month

Gotta love that title card where you know Brad's not going to like what he tastes!

I live near Washington, D.C., and Inca Kola is actually pretty common around these parts. Tried it a few times myself; I thought it was decent, but not something I'd regularly drink.
Reply to this
DAAAAA BEARS!
Reply to this
I've had some Kola drinks and they all usually taste like Cream Soda.
Reply to this
oh gosh....Materva soda. that stuff is baddddd..
Reply to this
you sould tyr pepsi fire and pepsi ice.

Apparently Inca Kola is huge in Peru. Most restaurants in Peru carry it instead of Coke and Pepsi.
I'd also imagine the lack of Coca Cola in Cuba is due to the US embargo that's been in place since Castro took over 50 years ago.
Reply to this
they have Coca Cola in Cuba, They Import it from mexico, its easily found in most hotels and stores in tourist area's.
Reply to this
Damn, I wish I could say that. Getting up to act in a movie. This actually would work...
Reply to this
I tried Inca Cola in a Peruvian restaurant and I don't get the "bubblegum" flavor... to me, it was just yellow-colored cream soda.
I am still waiting for the Snob to do a guest appearance and Snobbily try only cheese and fine wine. Quick, somebody send Brad some Port Salut...

THAT'S THE BEST IDEA I'VE HEARD IN MONTHS.

"14 Horrifying Soft Drinks Around the World"
http://www.cracked.com/article_17174_yogurt-pepsi-14-horrifying-soft-drinks-around-world_p1.html
Some interesting things in there. My favourites are the Placenta Drink and the Breast Enlarging Beverage.

Hey brad great video as always but there is a really famous video called powerthirst on YouTube. I'm sure you have probably already seen it but in case you haven't it's a fake commercial for an energy drink. Well some company decided to make it into a real drink and I was hoping you could feature it on the show the link to the sight is "powerthirst.ca" please give it a shot!
Reply to this
If you can get your hands on some try Moxie. It was HUGE in the 40s. The company still exists and it became a local staple and is one of the oldest soft drink brands in the US. Sometimes the most exotic foods are in your own back yard.
Reply to this
Nooo! Kola Champagne India is NOT from India!! India is the manufacturing company. The cola was actually from Puerto Rico, produced by what used to be India Brewery, now Puerto Rico brewery. It used to be made, literally two blocks away from my apartment. Inca Kola and Kola India both taste the same because they're both "cola champagne". It's a very popular flavor in Latin America.

Bubble Gum cola isn't so uncommon. One of Jones' most populare flavors is the Bubbles gum soda.

That Crytal Meth art was done by Coop, right? The devil guyin the suit and DA haircut was a dead giveaway.
Reply to this
You should try Goya-Goya Malted all the puerto ricans drink it in the shitty part of town,I always see empty bottles on the ground.I tried it once and was so fuckin nasty I thought I was gonna toss my cookies.Another thing about goya if your in a puerto rican supermarket its everywhere,but go to a pathmark or shop-rite the only goya product they have is Adobe seasoning which is pretty fuckin good.

Dont be hatin on Jersey now,where else can you get a bag of heroin cheaper than cigarettes!!!

I ws at the salvation army lookin through shirts cause they have some wacky fuckin t-shirts and guess what I came across a Crystal Pepsi T-shirt the only problem is that it was a large but I bought it anyway,its in pretty decent
condition.I always find god scored there and its usually 2 bucks a t-shirt
Reply to this
wow! A few days ago a friend from Twitter was talking about how much he loved Inca Kola and I was thinking of buying some and send it to you but guess someone already did. BUT I think I know what i'm going to send to you >
Reply to this
GO BEARS!! Noticed the Bears blanket on the couch.
Reply to this
Growing up on the east coast and being Cuban, I drank alot of Materva and tropi-cola as well as Ironbeer Soft Drink.
The problem I think is that Diet Materva is just off tasting at first because it's diet. Regular Materva, in my opinion at least tastes very refreshing from beginning to end. I recommend trying it at least once, it's probably much better than it's diet cousin. I would send you some but living in central illinois, it's become difficult to find bodegas and hispanic mom and pop supermarkets.

You forgot about 7 Up Gold!

Well lucky you
Just one bad drink this time
And good luck with the movie
Reply to this
you've probably been asked this a couple times brad, but have you ever tried a drink called tizer? because I cant find any info that says it was ever sold in america.
Reply to this
I find it funny that Brad has never had a Yerba Mate drink before. Having lived in the San Fransisco Bay Area for four years and the massively overblown hippie village of South Lake Tahoe almost my whole life, i thought that kind of drink was fairly common. Granted though it is a foreign drink so you do have to look for it, just not that hard. Its not the kind of drink i would WANT to buy, but its a fairly common ingredient in "Novelty" drinks you can get at a fair or local event, or in the right part of town. As far as the delayed taste goes, i would associate it with the kind of experience you'd get drinking a strong ginseng drink, or a 5 hour energy. So yeah, it's not that bad :]
Reply to this
I had to have my cat put to sleep today, this video cheered me up a little.
Thanks Brad!
Reply to this
The Inca Kola can looks like a can from Nestea. I found out there was a Hubba Bubba soda years ago I didnt not know that.
Reply to this
Have you ever had Jones' Blue Bubble Gum Soda? (Yes, they have that as an actual flavor.)
Reply to this
i guess bubblegum is a popular flavor in third and second-world countries, i know the taste from "Uludag" which is a turkish soft-drink you get in every kebab-shop in germany.
Reply to this
aaah yeah Uludag , great drink , a bit like a bubblegum tasting sprite , maybe we can send that to brad , i also saw uludag orange for a while , but it seems to have disappeared (i'm from belgium there's alot of turks too)
Reply to this
I only come to the site for the Brad Tries series. Another great tasting and sampling of crazy kola concoctions. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!
Reply to this
So,i wonder if the crystal meth drink is gonna be 10 times more powerful and last 10 times as long than the cocaine drink?
Reply to this
Great episode as usual, but could you please show the drinks/cans/bottles a little longer next time? You always show them so quickly.
Reply to this
Actually, that "tutti frutti" flavor, from what I can see in this video, is very usual in the mid to south americas. I live in Brazil and we-ve got the "Jesus Guarana" and "Tubaína" that also taste like bubble gum.
Reply to this
you should get the non diet materva, it tastes better.
Reply to this
Nice video. I could hear your cat in the background though haha
Reply to this
glad to know I'm not the only one who heard them crying. They are media darlings and should show up. Viewers love them..
Reply to this
Pepsi Jazz was diet pepsi with like strawberry, and caramel and crap added. I actually liked it. Just a retarded name and ad campaign.
Reply to this
Alright, I will go on record here and say I never felt the need to know about the Snob Knob, thank you... No more aphrodisiac cola for you.
Reply to this
I grew up with Inca Kola...I love it!
It tastes better when u eat "Ceviche" at the same time, it makes sense then...
Reply to this
Love Inca Kola myself
Reply to this
Hey Brad, you should definitely try the Japanese Pepsi Ice Cucumber.
Reply to this
Nice to See Inca Kola, but it's actually Banana and the reason it's so popular is because Coca-Cola bought the company. Every time someone starts to do well, they're bought by a corporation.
Love the show.
Reply to this
Brad,
Love all of your stuff. I watch and like every video you make.
When you hold up stuff to the camera, leave it there a minute so I can take a good gander at it!
Keep up the great work.
Reply to this
What? No epilogue talking about the success or failure of the alleged aphrodesiac effects, perhaps with a cameo of your wife holding up one of those scoring signs?
So disapointed.
Reply to this
Hey Brad, the Kola Champagne india, is puertorrican in origin. how do i know? cuzz im a puertorrican snob fan from PR and ive drank this stuff all my life. I LOVE IT!!!
Reply to this
btw Brad, if you ever wanna try local grape soda and pineaple soda, let me know dude, old colony soda is its name, ill send you a few if you cant find anny!
Reply to this
man this is too funny!
i loved the one that tastes like ass for a second!
Reply to this
Who DOESN'T want to taste a fine beef stew with a hint of ass? Ass-stomach man from Caligula is all up in that.
Reply to this
Brad you're dead on with your review on Inca Kola, Materva(shitty then...Good?) but in Cuba, Tropicola actually tastes like Shasta or Superchill basically a cheap rip off of Coke. The Trpoicola you did was different from the ones i had as a kid in Cuba. We also had a fake Pepsi called Tu Kola, Fake Sprite under the name of Cachito, and actually a fart superior orange soda to anything you guys got here in the states called Najita. oh and if you really want some latin nastiness try Malta, it puts bubblegum sodas and Materva to shame.
To cubans like me it's a taste of home to americans it's sewer water mixed with grandma's colostomy bag fillings. direct quote from a yankee friend of mine
Reply to this
I know where you're coming from with the bubble-gum analogy, but the flavor is a true kola (from the nut) - the difference in taste here is that it doesn't contain molasses like the dark cola's we enjoy in North America.
I'd love to see you try:
1. Freeze dried Giant Isopod
2. "Fragrant Meat" flavored anything from a south-east asian country. Hopefully artificial.
3. Grass Jelly drink. Throw me your address and I'll send you this shit.
Reply to this
hey have you tried pepsi cherry vanilla its great
Reply to this
will you ever try alcohol? or is there somekind of law about drinking on cam? iunno but there are some fucking crazy beers out there man. could be a whole new direction for the show.
Reply to this
Disgusting beverages, better you than me... and I hope your cat got some attention after filming, my cat heard it and was worried!
Reply to this
I had Kola Champagne when I was in Jamaica. Good stuff.
Reply to this
Oh god...
I can't believe it.
Me and my girlfriend watched this video
and what do you know, today she found out they actually sell Inca Cola at our grocery store, here in Montreal, Quebec.
We couldn't help it, and it...
tastes like...
Perrier with Cream Soda and an aftertaste of Bubble Gum.
For some reason it was displayed next to... spices and candy? FAR away from ANY other kind of drink.
The color is scary, too.
Reply to this
My idea for a brad tries , its the shortest brad tries ever called brad tries porn.
The cinema snob waits for his wife to leave the house to go to the grocery store. Then he explains in great length to the audience about the contents on the table. '' Here we got here is big ass porn , some lotion some jergens and a box of tissues.
Screen goes black and says 30 minutes later... Then Cinema Snob is sitting on his chair with a cigar and says to his hand you were fantastic baby. Then his wife comes home and says '' What the fuck are you doing?'' then the cinema snob ''Then the snob shows a surprised scared look''
Reply to this
Funny. You kind of reacted the same way as I did...but with another tea-based soft drink in the market: Lipton's Sparkling Green Tea with Berry (I don't know if Regular or Diet Strawberry tastes any better). I don't understand why they would sell carbonated tea that starts bitter THEN becomes sweet as it goes down. It's goddamn gross!
Speaking of tea, Arizona Iced Tea sold in Canada is pretty different. As for imported drinks, don't be afraid to ask for imported drinks and food. There's something over here called T&T Supermarket...and we have several small foreign food stores on any major street (I have three of them a mile away from where I live). We could give you about three to four more episodes worth of crazy foreign food!

Can't wait to try some Crystal Meth,since they don't sell Cocaine around here anymore. So idk.
Reply to this
My wife is a Spanish major and knew about Inca Kola for a while (it's pretty common here in Maryland), so after seeing this video she went and got some from our local Giant and we both tried it.
I'm now officially hooked on the stuff, even got a 2 liter for my birthday. :p Thanks for inspiring the rest of us to try stuff Brad. Keep up the good work.

We actually have a couple of kolas here in Germany... and they're pretty good, too. Like my favorite, Hermann-Kola, which is like cola, but with added caffeine and lime. You should totally try that stuff if you're in the mood for something good.
Reply to this
Hi Brad. Im from Peru where Inca Kola is from. Peru at the time (90's) was the only country in the world where CocaCola was not the number 1 selling drink. That place was taken by Inca Kola. So The CocaCola Company proceeded to buy the company.
Thanks for spreading the word on our national drink.

The best toothpaste is Sparkle Crest. End of discussion.
Well, kola nuts are spelled with a K, after all. Coca-Cola just cheated.
Reply to this
I found Tropi-cola at a local supermarket yesterday. It's not bad, just really sweet. It reminds me a lot of what I remember Nehi blue cream soda tasting like back when that was still made. The stuff has a ton of sugar in it though - 57 grams (about 13.5 teaspoons) per can.
Reply to this
I have also seen Kola Champagne in a bright orange color liquid and it said it was from Jamaica. Its in glass bottles if that helps!
Reply to this
your laugh is so repetitive like do you have to do it so much?
Reply to this
That Materva is pretty common here in Miami. Mostly in the exotic themed restaurants for the tourist, but I cant stand it.
If I wanted a drink that tasted like sh"t I'll stick with Diet Pepsi thank you very much.
Reply to this
I am Peruvian and ive never really thought that inca kola tastes like bubble gum... its made with herbs and i kinda always thought that it tasted like herbs and coca cola... so idk haha maybe its because i grew up with it ... but its definately a drink that you have to try with typical peruvian foods ... it'll taste alot better than just bubblegum .. =]

Hi Everyone!!!!...it`s logic how ppl tries to enable a logic, establishing relation with something new to them(it sux!!), and something that they knew in their normal lifes.Dont be lazy please and explore k?...Inca Kola is a soft drink created in Peru in 1935 by British immigrant José Robinson Lindley using lemon verbena (verbena de Indias or cedrón in Spanish) although many believe that lemon grass, a herb native to India (but its not included),its (hierba Luísa in Spanish)including here in Peru many people confuses hierba buena with hierba luisa(is not the same ok?)cuz of diferent flavors.
About the name INKA KOLA its INKA because of our legacy, and yes ITS NOT THE FIRST drink that was inspired from our lands... If you are courious then you are going to find that COCA COLA most important ingredient (when it was created) was COCA LEAFS(zomg yes coca leafs 9mml of cocaine per bottle lol),lime,sugar and nuts ,the most important herb of Inka`s Legacy common in rituals and ancient medicine, actually, ppl that lives in the andes comunities is still usin coca leafs as energetic food cuz of their properties. Its a placer for a Peruvian like me to say that the idea of Coca Cola was formulated by a guy named John Pemberton (not a common guy obviously and he was very interested to use his formula in medical ways) in 1886 and he get the idea from the Coca wine, a popular french drink created for Angel-François Mariani who was a peruvian lover(some people says that he was cocain adict but he wasnt) great things cant come from ppl that kills his brain, if you doubt it then just check the labels that he used for his Coca wine, "coca du pèrou"(coca from Peru) in french

ermmmm i have to add now my bad point of view of your sarcastic critic,this time someway personal, next time you create a critic video, get more information before practically insulting 20 million of human beings that likes Inka Cola of course everyone in my country knows that its not a bubble gum that`s a pour comparative vision.... Yes the Golden One, that pour bubblegum imitation that you think you know perfectly .k bye
