Fanta has its origins in Germany, when a trading ban was placed on that nation by the Allies during World War II. The Coca-Cola company therefore was not able to import the syrup needed to produce Coca-Cola in Germany. As a result, Max Keith, the man in charge of Coca-Cola's operations in Germany during the second World War, decided to create a new product for the German market created using only ingredients available in Germany. The Coca-Cola company called the new product Fanta, derived from "Fantasie" (German for "fantasy" or "imagination").
And now you know.
@shilltheshillXXX Hmmmm am I included in "EVERYONE?" I don't ever seem to recall saccarine, which isn't even in fanta anymore, ever being forced on me. Did some stahlhelm wearing coke-nazi march into your home as a child and force you to down fantas? somehow i think not

@goldenhide No. I just boycott Amerikan products as a rule. Softdrinks are shite, eventhough I stated in this thread that I would rather drink Afri-Cola. I find it disgraceful that saccarine is still used. Ok for diabetics or what ever reason the use to force it on EVERYONE...but why do people with diabetes have to increase their cancer risks?????

Was heisst hier "Gedanken". Das entspricht den Tatsachen.

this and bought out the rights to Fanta after the war and now they currently market it. An irony in itself that "Germany's new softdrink" was bought out by the company it was intended to replace. Of course they utilized the old Coke bottling plants which made it easier for Coke to reclaim their "property" and the patents/formulas for Fanta. But don't worry I'm sure you believe that every German citizen was a Jew-hating, war loving, Nazi hell bent on domination of the world.
