Gift 7: Pakola Ice Cream Soda
“In the spirit of all the holiday gift giving that will be taking place over the next couple of months, all the Metroblogging cities are giving 7 gifts to the world throughout the week of NOV 26th - DEC 2. This is Karachi’s 7th Gift to the World.”
If there is one soft drink that started from Karachi and spread not only in Pakistan but all over the world, it’s got to be Pakola. I would rather call it KaraCola and it would taste just as great, but just thinking about Pakola brings that sweet taste into the mouth that you just want to leave everything else and have some Pakola.

I never understood the ice cream soda part of it. But I love the colour the taste and the idea of calling it pak-cola. I wonder what it would have been called if it had been created recently. Probably geo-cola :)
AAAAAAAAAH PAAAKOOOLAAAA!
PAAAAKOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAA
‘drool droool drool’
for drinks, Rooh Afza could have been a better gift
i have to say all other fizzy drinks make u want more but this one quenches ure thirst andnothing makes a better combo for meal than bun kebab + pakola + paan.
and pakola and lims. haye haye.
Zuban key saath Dil Bola ………. PAKOLA!!!
Anathema, tum nay mere moo ki baat kehh daali. Bunkebab + Pakola + Pan = Awesome-est
RoohAfza is not a Pakistani product. It was already being used before partition. Hamdard Dawakhana also exists in India
Yeah, like Ash, I too, haven’t understood the Ice Cream Soda part…..WHY is it called that??? Any explanations or any guesses!!
Adnan Bhai …tomorow you will come and say that Hakim Saeed was not Pakistani, coz he was born in India…….well Hakim Saeed’s brother used to live in India and so operates hamdard dawakhana and hamdard labs. But our Hakim Saeed opted to migrate to Pakistan in 1947……and he introduced Roohafza to Pakistan. So how come Roohafza is not a Pakistani product??
Pakola is an absolute example of distilled perfection.
I would rather call it Memonkola invented by memons and sold to world by Memons :P
Adnan bro. …..i think u r right!…coz we were talking abt products initiated in Karachi and therefore Roohafza cannot be cateogorised as such……! you were right..but you shud have stated in some other way rather than saying its not a Pakistani product……
Agreed. got ur point……a valid one……im clarifying it b4 begins a series of tit-for-tat controvesial posts again!
” KaraCola ”
Wow a great idea
‘Rooh Afza ” Sami is right. But the competition would be real tough.
“kebab + pakola + paan. ”
Aray bhaya. Me feeling hungry and thirsty , badly.
Bring ma pakola. Will anyone ?
Apun bola
Konsa kola
Har koi bola, apna number one
Hara hara pakola
Jis ke mazay mai
Maza hai zindagi ka
Aik chota bacha masti mai bola
Wo mera PAK wo mera kola
Hara hara pakola, hara har pakola
pardon me for being the lone dissenter but i always thought ice cream soda was a bit of a girly drink because of its green colour. therefore i did perhaiz from it even though it tasted nice. and i also took the same approach with imlee because i always thought imlee was for women as well.
i love pakola too !! =D
Gift 6: Slims :))))
there is nothing like pakola……
Ohh coool start :)

Hey guys!
You are already at your 7th gift? ;) You are too fast for the rest of the world.
Also, can this soda be compared to something else? Like, let’s say Coke, Mirinda, Mountain Dew? Anything? And where do I get that sweet taste in Berlin?
Lot’s of questions!
@umar…..there have been too many posts and comments without research about this product…don’t you think its about time to have an official comment from the manufacturers or the copyright owners for the benefit of all KMB readers….
Till, it has a completely unique taste. I have never had a drink which tastes like it. I am not sure about Berlin, but you can definitely get it at indian stores in London (East London, Southall, Leyton, Ilford, Walthamstow, Upton Park etc..)
If you have an Indian Store in Berlin, check that out.
WE LOVE PAKOLA IN NEW YORK (sweet taste of Pakistan)………Go Karachi…Go Pakistan
King_of_SF: Maybe you should have thought about it this way…… The green color is because of the PAK in Pakola!!
Till, we going from gift 7 to gift 1
Sorry guys but the new Ad of Pakola is as bad as taste of Pepsi. I still remember and like old childhood Ad.
Hara Hara Pakola
Icecread Soda
Mujhe lagay ye mazay mazay ka
Mujhe lagay ye thanda thanda
Icecream Soda
IMO, Pepsi is more girlier than Pakola
I have never heard of Pakola, but combining ice cream and soda… What could not be GREAT about that???
Keep it up, Karachi! I am excited to read about the rest of your gifts.
Has any1 tried Pakola with Milk combined?
hey k of sf,
if you eat imlees with pakola you will definately turn into a girl, but if you have them both seperately you should be fine . :)
