Without seeing the actual ingredients and process - There's just this flavour that most "classic" Colas have, like the ones that say stuff like "original" or "traditional", and also some of the cheaper brands (some, not all.) all seem to share a certain flavour.
To me, this is what I've come to associate with the flavour of Cola.
Both of the "big two" are fairly devoid of this flavour, whatever it may be.

Ok, I got ya, I know what you mean. I've tried about 10-15 colas, the big brands and cheap ones. There is a "cola" taste.
What's really funny to me is, now, after all these years, because of this thread, I'm only now discoving that "cola" taste I thought was specifically from the kola/cola nut was not... it's really some combo of vanilla, cinnamon, caffeine, nutmeg, citrus, carmel and cornsurup. Cola is the Long Island Ice Tea of the softdrink world.
