Did you know that Fanta orange of the coca cola company was invented in Nazi-Germany during world war 2? Yes it's true, since coca cola could not be sold due to the allied blockade the coca cola company in Germany invented an artificial orange drink: the Fanta orange.

By 1945 they were probably putting in their fuel tanks. ;)

Fanta Orange is still bottled in some areas in the USA. I doubt any of the PL members are receiving royalties from their ancestors.

Yep, some is still on sale in Canada as well.

Funny how Coca Cola was not "told" to stop making that product or change the name, hehe.

If it's off topic then why don't you post it in the General Forum so everyone can enjoy it?

Kuni's since posted it there as well and, honestly, I don't think they've accepted it in the proper spirit. ;)
