that sandwich! holy shit that's where chick fil a stole their recipe from
I love chinotto so much. They used to sell the San Pellegrino one here in the UK, but it got discontinued.
It's great. Like a Campari and soda without the booze.
I adore chinotto its absolutely delicious
(Not european) South Africa: granadilla twist/lemon twist - both just a passion fruit/lemon flavoured soda but they're delicious
UK: Irn Bru, a Scottish drink with a secret recipe that tastes like flavour (honourable mention for Iron Brew, a South African drink that is also delicious but does not taste remotely like Irn Bru)
Beer is everywhere. It's one of the most "local" products pretty much everywhere in the world.
Surprised that Club-Mate hasn't been mentioned yet, I'm not German so I didn't discover it till more recently but I quite like it, not as sugary as other drinks
Australia has bundaberg ginger beer which is good shit. Nice and spicy.
I'm in the US (California) and can often get Bundaberg in the grocery store here. I do like their ginger beer. Their root beer is good, but a little too heavy on the licorice for me.
Dandelion and Burdock, originating in the British Isles. Traditionally made from fermented dandelion, and burdock roots.
I think it tastes sort of similar to root beer.
All the fentimans stuff is tasty, tbh
Their cola is awesome! Vastly superior to Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
We have Irn Bru and it's made from girders.
It also has some of the most amazing Adverts
I just spent 20 minutes watching commercials. Thanks!
Me too, but i still don't know what it is? Definitely involves caffeine.
Looks like there's a version of it that is a caffeine drink. But yeah, I'm pretty curious about what it tastes like. Unsweetened and originally a replacement for beer, so I'm going to guess it's nothing like a conventional soda.
And what is a girder?? "Made from girders" is no help at all, as I think of a girder as an architectural support.
Edit: looks like there's some ginger involved, which helps the ginger commercial make slightly more sense.
Edit 2: well, they really do mean steel/iron girders. There ya go. Still no help at all.
Edit 3: people claim it tastes like orange the color but not orange the fruit.
Yeah, if you read the article linked above, it was originally marketed to steel workers as a replacement for beer when on the job. Originally Iron Brew. But the ingredients are a closely guarded trade secret. I'll have to see if I can find some to taste.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faxe_Kondi
Faxe Kondi in Denmark. It is citrus, less sweet than Sprite and available sugar free. I like it and will miss it when I move out of Denmark.
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.
In Austria we have Almdudler
Olmdudla honn i Geschto kopp, Olmdudla honn i haint, Olmdudla honn i jeidn Toug sollong mis gfrait. xD
America here.
- Loganberry Juice
- Root beer
- Cheer wine
We have Orangina here in France, it's an orange soda with pulp and very horny ads for some reason
We have it in Mexico as well and in the Netherlands
The Austrians have Almdudler, the Suisse have Rivella and the French have Orangina. I am chugging that stuff whenever I can get my hands on it.
Then there's Japan, with too many to list. Calpis is one of my favourites.
Dont know if Norway have that much unique sodas, but two of my favourites are Flux Soda. Vanilla with a citrus hint, and a cool name. And Pink Panter Special a fruit soda with mostly pear taste and a pink color.
We have Solo! IMO a better than Fanta alternative.
Trocadero, a soda with orange and apple flavour from Sweden. They released a zero sugar version which is now called Trocazero.
Guess I'll piggyback and rep our local apple and grape soda. Fun fact, Champis was created as an alternative to champagne during the era when Sweden discussed prohibition.
[Slavs trampling each other in order to be the first one to yell "kvass"]
Hungary has Traubi soda which is made of grape juice.
In Soviet times we also had the Bambi (yes, like the deer) soft drinks in various fruit flavours, which also had a characteristic tar flavour, that (as I just learnt), contrary to popular belief wasn't because tar was one of the ingredients, but because they used expired orange oil. When the drink was reintroduced in recent times, some older customers said they missed that nostalgic tar flavour O.o (+ Bonus racist vintage ad poster from the '40s-'50s in that article.)
In my new home in Scotland we have Irn Bru, which has a strong metallic tutti-frutti flavour which I personally hate, but the locals love it ๐ฌ
As an American, this post has only reinforced for me how shitty it is here.
Cidona, it's basically a non-Alcholic version of one of the biggest alcoholic apple cider brands in Ireland. A gateway drug.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz-kola
Had some in Hamburg visiting friends , haven't seen it in Spain but it's exported to the rest of the EU.
Here in The Netherlands we have a drink called Cassis. It's a soda made from fermented blueberries. It sounds more delicious than it is in reality, in my opinion.
Scotland: Irn Bru. Has outsold all others for over a century. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn-Bru
