SO Fanta
here is amazing. Instead of being like orange soda it’s more a carbonated orange juice. Seeing as history is my
theme here’s a bit of history on Fanta.
This is quoted from Wikipedia.
“Fanta originated due to
difficulties importing Coca-cola syrup into Nazi Germany during World War II due to a trade embargo. To circumvent this, Max Keith, the man in charge
of Coca-Cola Deutschland during the Second World War, decided to create a new
product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at
the time, including Whey and pomance – the "leftovers of leftovers", as Keith later recalled The name was the result of a brief brainstorming session,
which started with Keith exhorting his team to "use their
imagination" ("Fantasie" in German), to which one of
his salesmen, Joe Knipp, immediately retorted "Fanta!”
While the
plant was effectively cut off from Coca Cola headquarters during the war, plant
management did not join the Nazi party. After the war, the Coca Cola
corporation regained control of the plant and the trademarks to the new Fanta
product - as well as the plant profits made during the war”
