Cola Turka was introduced June/July 2003 by Ülker, a Turkish food production company. The launch of a Turkish cola was a response to the American domination (Coca-Cola and Pepsi) on the cola market. This is in line with what was seen in a number of European countries at the time who whished to offer local alternatives to the American colas.

Cola Turka is branded as a beverage that is suited to Turkish taste and lifestyle. In two television commercials starring American comedian Chevy Chase we see Americans slowly turning Turkish as they drink Cola Turka. An American man with a cowboy hat starts talking Turkish gibberish, and Chevy Chase starts sporting a moustache.
