I always thought Fanta came from Mexico but just learned it was made by the Nazi party during WW2

Fanta was created during World War II in Nazi Germany by the German Coca Cola (GmbH) bottling company. Because of the war, there was no shipping between Nazi Germany and the United States. Therefore, the German bottling plant could no longer get Coca-Cola syrup.


Do you like Fanta? What is your fav flavor, my is grape. Shit is delicious.

The original Fanta was a weird concoction. Fanta was shut down after WWII when it merged with Coca Cola. Coke relaunched it later with various flavors. Grape Fanta actually originates from Brazil, Orange from Italy, and Strawberry from Algeria.
 
fanta and vw. the nazis keep hitting it out of the ballpark. if only they were more chill and less racist and genocidal
 
The German arm of Coca Cola made it for the Nazis. This is just another example of American companies supporting war on behalf of people they demonize. IBM also made punch cards so the Nazis could track the Jews better. Prescott Bush was an American Nazi supporter, of which there were many. GM and Ford made Opel vehicles for the Nazis, and it has been said that: "GM was an integral part of the German war effort. The Nazis could have invaded Poland and Russia without Switzerland. They could not have done so without GM."

There are tons of examples like these. Similarly, many Americans and European companies are profiting off the Ukraine debacle (I'm looking at you, Uncle Joe and the smartest guy you know), while sticking it to the taxpayer. We aren't even told the correct history, and Hitler is used like a ghost tale to frighten children away from seeing that they are enslaved under a fascist system, also. The same things that happened to Weimar Germany, have happened to America and Europe, and it was orchestrated by the same people. Similar results will also follow.
Im sure there's a joke that can get me dubs somewhere here....
One doesn't even have to joke on here. One just speaks the truth, and one's comments will be met with scowls, as long as one speaks the truth, as I just did.
 
The soft drink Fanta was invented by Coca-Cola, an American company, inside of Nazi Germany during World War II. Developed at the height of the Third Reich, the new soda ensured the brand’s continued popularity. Fanta became a point of nationalistic pride and was consumed by the German public, from the Fraus cooking at home to the highest officials of the Nazi party.

The drink was technically fruit-flavored, but limited wartime resources made that descriptor not wholly accurate. Its ingredients were less than appetizing: leftover apple fibers, mash from cider presses, and whey, a cheese by-product. “[Fanta] was made from the leftovers of the leftovers,” says Mark Pendergrast, who, as the author of For God, Country, and Coca-Cola, revealed this hidden past. “I don’t imagine it tasted very good.”

In 1933, right when Hitler and the Nazi Party were assuming power, German-born Max Keith (pronounced “Kite”) took over the company’s German subsidiary, Coca-Cola GmbH. Keith was an imposing figure: tall, intimidating, possessing a “little whisk-broom mustache” (not unlike Hitler’s), charming but quick-tempered, and utterly devoted to Coca-Cola. “[Keith] valued his allegiance to the drink and to the company more than his allegiance to his own country,” says Pendergrast. For that reason, he saw no quarrel with boosting sales by tying Coca-Cola to every aspect of German life and, increasingly, Nazi rule.

Not a fan of Fanta products but I understand the controversy.

Then again, I grew up hearing my grandparents’ stories about Japanese atrocities in the Philippines. Yet my favorite cuisine above all is Japanese lmao. It’s just food after all though, not like Ford and GM.
