'''eCola''' is a brand of sugary carbonated beverage launched in [[1886]] featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[The Lost and Damned]], [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. Its color and logo implies that eCola is a caricature of [[:wp:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]].

The major ingredient of eCola was [[drugs|cocaine]] until [[1903]] when it was replaced with massive amounts of corn sugar and caffeine after gaining pressure from the public. However after this change the health of eCola consumers deteriorated even further.

== Description ==

The eCola name first appears in GTA Vice City Stories in the form of red non-interactive [[Vending Machines|vending machines]] scattered throughout [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. In GTA IV, however, eCola vending machines, like those of [[Sprunk]], may be used by the player to replenish their health - however, they only dispense [[Orang-O-Tang]]. The player can also purchase an eCola background for their upgraded [[Mobile Phone|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, [[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 [[:wp:Escherichia coli|''ecoli'' bacteria]] and possibly the [[:wp:Ebola|Ebola virus]]; the company's slogan even states the drink is "''Deliciously infectious!''". The name also sounds like "[[:wp:Ricola|Ricola]]", a brand of cough drops.
