Dr. Sloth advertising Neocola.

Neocola (sometimes NeoCola) is a brand of Neopian cola soft drinks that appear to be inspired by the real life brand Pepsi Cola - the Neocola logo is a cropped rotation of the Pepsi logo. It is the principle rival of Achyfi, and contrasts their wide line of elaborate flavours with varieties designed for a more general appeal. Neocola is often advertised tongue-in-cheek-ly by Dr. Sloth.

There were hints and some other, less conventional flavours - including Juppie and cheese (formerly Koi) - in the description for Cherry Neocola. The Neopets Team later suggested that these may have been prototypes that were never marketed.

Varieties

Several varieties of Neocola.

As of April 2009, there are nine canned varieties of Neocola, and two retired bottled varieties:

• Apple Neocola - We didnt think it could be done... but yes now Neocola is available in tangy apple flavour.
• Big Gulp Neocola - Take a BIG GULP of Neocola with this handy bigger bottle!!! Mmmmmm!
• Can of Neocola - A can of Neocola may be just the thing to get your pet ready for a new day.
• Caffeine Free Neocola - A can of caffeine free Neocola may be just the thing to get your pet ready for a new day.
• Cherry Neocola - Normal cola just tastes that much better with a hint of cherry. Look out for Raspberry, Juppie and Cheese flavours!
• Dented Can of Expired Pumpkin Neocola - Hrmmm... something seems to have happened to this can of neocola.
• Dented Can of Neocola - Are you sure it's still safe to drink?
• Diet Big Gulp Neocola - Take a BIG GULP of Diet Neocola with this handy bigger bottle!!! Mmmmmm! Only one calorie!
• Diet Neocola - A can of Diet Neocola may be just the thing to get your pet ready for a new day. Only one calorie also!
• Grapefruit Neocola - Your favourite NeoCola, blended with Grapefruit for that zesty taste your Neopet will love!
• Raspberry Neocola - Your favourite NeoCola, blended with Raspberries for that zesty taste your Neopet will love!

Other than the drinks, there is also a Battledome weapon, the Shaken-up Can of Neocola, that does 2 - 5 icons of air damage and 2 - 5 icons of water damage. Neocola is the subject of two books, a toy and a plushie, a jellypop, and fizzy and non-fizzy varieties of gummy candies (called Neocola Bottles and Fizzy Neocola Bottles respectively).

Neocola Machine

The remote vending machine on Kreludor.

The Neocola Machine is suspicious a vending machine located on Kreludor. It accepts Red, Green, or Blue Neocola tokens bearing Dr. Sloth's visage, and dispenses Virtupets-, Dr. Sloth-, or Neocola-related prizes and a sum of neopoints. The machine - apparently a thinly disguised 'Doom Dispenser 3000' machine - has options for the following beverages (although none of them are actually ever dispensed, and apparently do not exist):

Dr. Slother - parodying Doctor Pepper; Diet Doom Na'cho Cola Smite - parodying Sprite;

Alt-Tab - lampooning the task switcher shortcut and the drink Tab; Minion Maid - parodying Minute Maid Mountain Poo - parodying Mountain Dew; Dehydrated H2O - an oxymoron.

In addition to selecting one of these fictitious beverages, the user can also choose to press a red button zero, one, two, three, ten, or forty-two times. A prize is dispensed after this, including:

Baby Space Fungus Dastardly Evil Fuzzle Dented Can of Neocola Fake Neocola Token On a String Fake Sloth Tattoo Gummy Baby Space Fungus I Club Sloth T-Shirt Kreludan Grundo Slippers Lint-Covered Peanut

Trivia

• The Neocola Machine was featured as the sponsor of the Neopian Times, accompanied by a section of the Dr. Sloth Neocola advertisement. The same image was used in an earlier article about the competing soft drinks Neocola and Achyfi.
