Polo-Cockta (sometimes written as 'Polo Cockta' or 'Polo-Cocta') is a Polish Coca-Cola-like drink introduced in the 1970s. Polo-Cockta was introduced as a substitute for the original Coca-Cola, which was unavailable in Polish shops due to limited import from the USA to the Eastern European countries.
Polo-Cockta was discontinued during the 1980s, but has been revived again for a few years by a private company Zbyszko which acquired all the rights to the brand, reacting to the ever-popular demand for PRL-stylised products. The taste of Polo-Cockta is sometimes described as a mixture of Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Currently available is Polo-Cockta Plus which replaced the regular Polo-Cockta - however this is actually the same drink with the name changed. Polo-Cockta Plus is sold in a variety of flavours that include the original cola taste, orange and lemon.
Polo-Cockta has made a significant appearance in the Polish film Kingsajz by Juliusz Machulski, where it was a major plot device.
