Pakola Fever.
I can’t get over the obsession this city has with this Drink. Its rich sugar content rivals even that of RedBull it seems, and being in a country of prohibition, its the only source of blood stimulating, heart battering drink that seems to bring nothing but hours of enjoyment. I don’t know anyone yet that isn’t happy after a cold drink of this stuff.

Me? Im addicted. And no im not getting paid to advertise for these guys, (although I should, and welcome the invitation). It is just something that is unique to Pakistan, and specifically Karachi. I swear you can’t find it in Lahore or Islamabad.

So what makes this brand so successful here,when major companies like Coke and Pepsi usually end up running the whole industry in most countries, and why is it only so popular in Karachi?

Famous quotes regarding Pakola I have heard:

“Dil bola, Pakola!”
“Durahne Ramazan, Pakola banaye jaan!”
“Pani Rahko, Pakola Pilo!”
“Yaar Apne Pakola lao!”

Got anymore?
