Count Cola advertising featured a green cartoon Count Dracula character.
Early bottles were wrapped in a thin polystyrene label (as were many soft-drinks during this period) featuring diagonal pink and yellow bands of colour.
To taste, Count Cola was said to be close to that of the similarly defunct Schweppes Cola.
The flavour was derived from a combination of cola and raspberry (a.k.a. portello).
