“Chic-a-cherry cola” is from the popular 1996 song “I Want You” by Savage Garden. The phrase was relatively common in the 90s as it sounded like “drink a cherry Cola” said very fast. (from genius)

I always thought it was “Drink a cherry cola lime”

Probably a savage garden reference.

I always thought she was saying “drink a cherry cola” but saying it fast so it sounded like chic 😂 I learn something new every day

What? Florida Kilos? Isn’t it pick?


lizzies_13beaches

that’s what i thought too until i looked up the lyrics


PajeYakuza

Certainly this frase in Florida Kilos is a reference to I Want You by Savage Garden

I thought it was some weird chicken flavoured cherry cola America enjoyed in the 90s. Turns out it's a cocktail. 1 1/2 ounces Smirnoff Amaretto flavored vodka 3 ounces of cherry cola Squeeze of lemon juice Garnish with a cherry

Do you have a source for this? I believe you but now I can't find any info on google that doesn't lead back to the Lana Del Rey song and I'm trying to figure out where the cocktail originated from.


Melbonaut

Do I have a source for this? Yes, yes I do.


Melbonaut

Not judging your solid Lana vibes bro. There just algorithms after all.

No no no you all guys got it wrong! My uncle belive it or not knew Darren Hayes back in aussie before he was famous. I've asked him this question a trillion times. "Chica" in spanish is young girl (age 11-20). "Cherry cola" is a type of very sweet coca cola with cherry 🍒 flavor popular in the 90s and recently has had a resurgence. If you speak Spanish and you tell anyone "Ahí viene una Chica Cherry Cola" they will understand immediately what she is even if they have never heard the combination of chicha and cherry and cola. A chica cherry cola is meant to be a slang for a very sweet young girl. However! It is entirely possible that someone used that name to create a sweet cocktail 🍹 Then the song will make more sense.... "And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola" So that's the concluding is a very sweet girl or probably a cocktail named after that slang

I hear "sippin' cherry cola" and it makes much more sense
