McCol is probably a soft drink that can only be purchased in Korea.
It was released in 1982 and gained huge popularity for a while, but now it is a soft drink with little presence.
It was so popular at the time that competitors made and sold similar soft drinks.
Mc means barley and Col means coke.
In other words, McCol is a barley coke.
McCol contains 10% of barley extract.
That’s not to say that McCol’s taste is similar to Coke.
It’s hard to describe the taste of McCol.
It tastes a bit bitter.
Some people say that it tastes like beer without alcohol.
It seems to be because barley extract is included, but the taste of McCol is very mysterious.
You’ll have to drink this to find out.
Personally, I don’t drink soft drinks very often.
When I do buy one, I tend to go for Coca-Cola rather than McCol — personally, it’s just not my favorite.
But McCol still has its own enthusiasts who love it.
Thanks to these fans, it continues to sell.
McCol is a unique barley soft drink that can only be found in Korea.
I recommend trying it when you visit.
