Isn’t this how we got fanta
I hope it does not work out for them. Also in Germany we have many alternatives which are cheaper and come close to the taste of CocaCola.
I’ve been trying the cheaper stuff. Some of it is great. Don’t be afraid to try the bottom shelf items these days.
Even beyond just the boycotting brands for political reasons, so many of the mainstream brands charge way too much for a product that almost anybody else can make the equivalent of.
Some products in tech you can replace there is just iOS and Android both American owned company’s
Linux smartphones are coming, although very slowly
There is also Jolla with Sailfish OS, but the hardware is not really attractive
Problem is the app support an I don’t think banking apps will run on Linux phones
I tried out spezi when I travelled to Germany, it was weirdly nice.
Paulaner or Riegele?
Paulaner!
PFUI DEIFEL! GEH WEG!
“Come on, you guys used to love us!”
Still a soda tho. 👎
No one in Europe calls it that, though ;-)
What’s it called there then? Carbonated sugar water?
In Sweden our tasty sugar drinks are “saft” (uncarbonated) and “läsk” (carbonated).
The word ending “-igt” is used to describe that something “is like”.
“saftigt” means “mmm, juicy, good” “läskigt” means “scary”
Läsk is from old German löschen meaning to quench. Läskande similarly means quenching.
Läskig is a false friend.
