Buzz Cola is a popular cola drink in Springfield. There are several different varieties available around Springfield, including Crystal Buzz Cola, Caffeine-Free Buzz Cola , Buzz Cola with Lemon and Buzz 2XUB. Its slogan is "twice the sugar, twice the caffeine".
Among the Buzz Cola ads, there is one that shows a lot of sad old people, who instantly become cool when they drink Buzz Cola, and one showing an Allied Forces soldier storm the Normandy beaches and charge a German who falls to the ground dead, so the Allied soldier reaches for a can of Buzz Cola in his belt pocket when a voice over then says "Buzz Cola: The taste you'll kill for!" and then German becomes alive again to say "available in ze lobby".
Bart is often seen drinking it whilst Homer drinks Duff beer.

Video Games
Buzz Cola plays a major role in the video game The Simpsons: Hit and Run. In the game, Krusty the Clown promotes a "new improved Buzz Cola", which in reality is a drink made by Kang and Kodos that makes people crazy. Their plan is to drive the townspeople insane and destroy their own town, all which would be shown on a reality show called "Foolish Earthlings". The aliens planned to put up stands in the Squidport giving out free ray guns, so that the cola-infected townspeople would shoot each other and cause major carnage. The Simpsons and Apu expose their plan, and Bart destroys all the ray gun stands. However, the aliens instead spread the cola through the water supply, which instead of turning the people of Springfield crazy, it awakens the dead. Kang and Kodos are later defeated when Homer uses radioactive waste to destroy their spaceship.
Behind the Laughter
Buzz Cola is based on real-life brand "Jolt Cola". According to the Simpsons Movie website, a 24 pack costs $12.99. Buzz Cola was sold in some re-designed 7-Eleven stores, which became Kwik-E-Marts, to promote The Simpsons Movie.
