In 1986 Coca-Cola made a big goof. They reformulated Coke and opened the
door to many a competitor. Cott Corporation bought the Kik formula. The
generic Cott Cola was great tasting and an excellent value. I know. It was
at least as good as Coke and maybe even better compared to the New Coke.
The same year, Cott made a deal with RC Cola in the US. Cott Cola disappeared.
Dave Nicholls of Loblaws needed a new cola formula to compete with Coke.
PC Cola was born. It used the old Kik formula, which was by the way, based on
the Delatour formula used to make Kent's Coca-Cola in 1884. Two years before
Pemberton of Coca-Cola fame. PC Cola tastes great and is half the price of Coke.
Is it a coincidence that Pemberton copied a coca wine from France?
