Cola Turka cans until 2006

The two television commercials (which are presented more like short-subject comic films) feature American actor Chevy Chase playing a confused American who notices his friend, wearing a stereotypically American cowboy hat, using some peculiar words from Turkish culture while drinking a can of Cola Turka. Upon Chase's character drinking Cola Turka in the second commercial, he spontaneously displays Turkish traits like saying Turkish idioms, singing a Turkish folk song, and in the final part of the second commercial, unexpectedly sporting a mustache. The commercials were filmed on location in New York, and are in English with Turkish subtitles.

Cola Turka is sold in 200ml glass bottles, 330ml cans and 500ml, 1 litre, 2 litre, 2.5 and 3 litre PET bottles.
