    Ah this explains why Fanta is so popular in Germany and yet hardly anyone in the states seems to drink it. Every now and then I will get a Fanta from a soda fountain if it’s available.

    I’m guessing most Americans think of Sunkist when they think of orange soda?

      American Fanta is also incredibly different than European Fanta. Orange Fanta in Europe is something akin to a carbonated orange juice. Orange Fanta in America tastes closer to something like orange hard candy.

      Honestly, the orange soda that we think of might be Crush, which debuted in 1911.

      Tang would also like a word.

      But really, the most popular orange based drink, is just orange juice. That or Mountain Dew, which is lemon, lime, and orange plus lots of sugar and caffeine.
