Unsuccessful[edit]

According to the information in the article, it was unsuccessful, but no info is provided on why it was unsuccessful. Acetic Acid 06:37, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Look no farther than that can. Man! does it ever look unappetizing! Ewlyahoocom 20:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When did it cease? I remember seeing a Like Cola truck in the Midwest in 1986. The Sanity Inspector (talk) 00:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two reasons, limited distribution because several 7 Up bottlers at the time also bottled Coke or Pepsi or RC. Where I live, the local 7 Up bottler offered RC 100 caffeine free cola instead of Like Cola. The other reason was both Coke and Pepsi introduced their own caffeine free colas. At that point, the handwriting was on the wall for Like Cola as well as RC 100. 7 Up parent Dr Pepper Snapple Group does produce Diet Rite Pure Zero caffeine free cola nowadays.

Interesting, thanks! But do you know when Like Cola folded? The article doesn't say. The Sanity Inspector (talk) 15:01, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

link commercial broken[edit]

The link to the 80s commercial (which I would have loved to see) is either broken, or the page it linked to is no longer in existence. Fuhghettaboutit 15:52, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment:[edit]

I just wanted to comment. When this cola disappeared from the market, I lost my all-time favorite soft-drink. This is quite possibly the only caffiene-free cola ever made which actually tasted good!

In fact; I actually like it better than any of the other colas on the market - then, or now.

Thanks for letting me comment!

Found a commercial link[edit]

I found a working link to a commercial starring Kevin Dobson from Knot's Landing. It is: http://www.80stvthemes.com/commercials/indexb.html Tazmeister (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
