Top Ten
The list of the best at Colatest.com
To start of with: the list is not an order of precedence; it cannot be because many colas received the same grade. Thus we give a list in alphabetical order. Besides there are not exactly 10 entries! There are the best 9 colas, and then an additional 38 next best so far.
In order to create an order of precedence it would be necessary to have all colas for a direct comparison. This is by no means possible because some colas are no longer available or were aquired abroad. Hence no first, second etc. place.
There is nevertheless a winner: Coca-Cola Coke is after all that time still the absolute favourite - even after more than 900 colas!
