Think the article maybe fiction. In the United Kingdom "Freeway Cola" is a own-brand (store brand) cola from the Lidl supermarket, The Dutch Wikipedia indicates the same applies in the Netherlands, I've looked up the trademark database and Lidl own the trademark    Can't find anything on "Mark Leham" which is surprising considering he is supposed to be "the 321th richest person in the UK" and CEO of a London company I can't find anything about and decides to release profit figures in dollars. It can't speak for the United States, South Africa and New Zealand which also are supposed to have this cola with a "special ingredient" Holkingers (talk) 18:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Never heard of it here.  What matters most though is that it has not received any kind of non-trivial coverage by reliable third parties.  JBsupreme (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I have never heard of this product outside of the Lidl offering and the usuall web searches turn up nothing either. If someone can come up with some good references I will change my mind, until then it has to be 'Delete'. Trevor Marron (talk) 21:02, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Certainly not notable and likely a fantasy. Drawn Some (talk) 23:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Almost certainly a hoax.  Freeway Cola might be a possible redirect to Lidl, but that doesn't exist at the moment, and I don't see any pressing need to create it. Tevildo (talk) 18:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Whatever it is, it has no place in an encyclopaedia. I doubt we'll see it reach the kind of popularit of Coca- Cola or Pepsi, taking the article at face value. HJMitchell    You rang?  07:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Freeway Cola is sold by many local restaurants and has won a People's Choice Award recently in Food & Drink for value. Yes, Lidl is the main seller of it but it deserves an article as it has been in the press on more than one occasion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.1.97.190 (talk) 16:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
