	BBC - h2g2 - Cola Drinks - A553187
		Cola is named after a type of African nut (also known as the kola nut) which acts as a natural stimulant and is a popular chew as well as being used as a culinary ingredient.
		Cola nuts are now mostly no longer used in cola drink manufacture, but they were once, and this is what the synthetic flavour of most cola drinks are modelled on.
		Nowadays most colas consist of artificial flavourings, colourings, sugar, caffeine and h2o (hence the joke that caffeine-free sugar-free cola really is just brown water, tho' in reality it's brown water with flavourings).
