Rivella, a Swiss soda produced from milk whey.

And nothing special about the Migros Ice Tea, it is an Ice tea, but it is the best tasting one in the world and a casus belli for war in Switzerland (yeah, the only reason we have to fight).

I love Rivella, they now make a vegan one too. Switzerland also has Cswiss which is a lot nicer than the CBD infused drinks they are making over here in the UK.

True people drank Mivella. It tasted way better.

The new thing in Switzerland is El Tony Mate. It's so popular that Lidl and Aldi introduced their own versions.

I do drink a lot of El Tony Mate in bars that have very few non alcoholic choices. It is very nice.

Since moving to Switzerland a year ago I fell in love with ice tea. But I just buy the cold brew tea from Aldi and add a bit of sirup, mint and lemon rind.

I still remember the Dutch slogan for Rivella: โ€œA bit strange, but tasty!โ€ (โ€œEen beetje vreemd, maar wel lekker!โ€)

I was wondering what it tastes like. It's 35% whey according to Wikipedia, so I'm guessing that for "original" /"plain", it's watered down whey flavored? Seems like there are lots of flavors of it too.

Red, Blue, Green, Refresh, Grapefruit, Mint (Switzerland); Yellow, CLIQ Peach, CLIQ Rhubarb, Elderflower (Switzerland, discontinued); Original, Green tea, Cranberry, Pineapple, Raspberry (Netherlands)

I honestly cannot describe the taste, except that "itโ€™s good"

I only drink the red one (and pretty rarely) so I canโ€™t tell for the others.
