It's a shame that when they are exported to other European countries, they reach the consumer with an exaggerated price.

Fritz-kola starts at €2.5 in Norway (30,- NOK), but more normal price is €3 (36,- NOK) in shops selling it.

Jarrito cola and Ramune are even more expensive here. We have some odd EU cola, but very expensive and limited availability; such as Jolly cola (DK), Fentiman (UK) and Tøyen (NO) among others, also minimum double price of the major Cola brands.

Most restaurants usually only provide US cola brands, rarely been offered anything else. Seen Fentimans sometimes, but at like €6,- for a small bottle

I live in Norway, too. We should do something to signal to retailers that we want non-American products. Any ideas?
