The eCola logo in GTA IV.

eCola is a brand of sugary carbonated beverage featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars; its color and logo implying it is a caricature of Coca-Cola.

Description

The eCola name first appears in GTA Vice City Stories in the form of red non-interactive vending machines scattered throughout Vice City. In GTA IV, however, eCola vending machines, like those of Sprunk, may be used by the player to replenish their health; the player can also purchase eCola background for their upgraded phone via Vipluxuryringtones.com. Because it competes with Sprunk in the soft drink market, eCola and Sprunk machines can often be found together. In GTA Vice City Stories, Yankee trucks may appear with an all-red eCola livery, complete with eCola logos on the sides.

The eCola name is a play on the ecoli bacteria and possibly the Ebola virus; the company's slogan even states the drink is "Deliciously infectious!".
