Cola is a carbonated beverage that was originally flavoured and caffeinated by the kola nut, as well as by vanilla and other ingredients. However, most colas now use other flavouring (and caffeinating) ingredients with a similar taste. It became popular worldwide after druggist John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886. His non-alcoholic recipe was inspired by the Coca wine of pharmacist Angelo Mariani, created in 1863; it still contained cocaine. Coca-Cola is a major international brand, and is associated with the United States. It usually contains caramel colour, caffeine and sweeteners such as sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
Despite the name, the primary modern flavouring ingredients in a cola drink are sugar, citrus oils (from oranges, limes, or lemon fruit peel), cinnamon, vanilla, and an acidic flavourant. Manufacturers of cola drinks add trace ingredients to create distinctively different tastes for each brand. Trace flavourings may include nutmeg and a wide variety of ingredients, but the base flavourings that most people identify with a cola taste remain vanilla and cinnamon. Acidity is often provided by phosphoric acid, sometimes accompanied by citric or other isolated acids. Many cola drink recipes are maintained as corporate trade secrets, notably including Coca-Cola's recipe.

Plot: Youths, Tashan and Cola, follow drug dealer Vince into the tower block where Cola lives with his mum. Tashan suspects Vince is selling drugs to his cousin Clarice in return for sexual favors - and that's about the truth of the matter. When Vince exits Clarice's flat, Tashan confronts him in the corridor. They face off. When Vince pulls something from out of his jacket pocket, Tashan misreads the action - or does he? - and stabs Vince in the guts. This act of violence then sets off a chain of events which brings the violence back to the original perpetrator. So ends the circle: what goes around comes around.

Plot: After a long absense from the island, Chester Tuttle returns to Tahiti to find that little has changed. His large family, particularly his scheming Uncle Jonas, would rather dance and romance than earn a living. When Jonas loses the family plantation in a cockfight, Chester saves the day by towing in a large ship abandoned at sea and claiming the salvage. But opening a joint bank account in the name of the Tuttle clan may not have been a wise decision....
