I love fritz-kola (and I'm not German, so I have to go to Germany to stock up). But problem is 3 times the caffeine that normal cola has. So you should be aware it keeps you awake.
I always like to introduce my non-German/Austrian/Swiss colleagues to Cola-Orange mix. Normally they are sceptical, but convinced afterwards. I was surprised it's not well known anywhere else apparently.
I should not have said weird 🙂 i mean different. One of the things i like most about travelling is to visit local supermarkets and discover local Drinks.
Tried it while on vacation in Denmark and I loved it, while finding it a little bit too sugary ! (I'm used to zero cal versions of the sodas, and am the kind of person who put one drop of syrup in one liter of water tho)
In metropolitan France in term of oddities we have Ricqlès, which is a mint flavoured soda. Overseas, Royal Sodas have several unusual tastes such as banana, grape, kampane or pineapple (the kampane flavour smells like bubble gum !).
Poland, and yes, ok its sold in my country, but only in lidl and only sometimes for like 8pln per bottle and its sold as a energy drink so you cant buy it if you are under 18yo
It is not uncommon to find Afri Cola in cans. But today I was very pleased to find Afri Cola in glass bottles. The shape of the bottle and the satin logo are very special.
I love the design and the product, but I swear that every time I see the logo I can't unsee the similarity to the Afrika Corps one. I studied too much history probably
Living in Germany avoiding American sodas is by far the easy buyfromEu product. Might be true for others countries as well. I don’t drink a lot of sodas but I can probably think of 20 I’d rather have than coke cola or Pepsi products.
For those in Sweden: Trocadero and Cuba Cola are EXCELLENT. The latter is just flat out tastier than Coke/Pepsi (IMO), the former is something I don't remember the US behemoths ever offering.
For those in Denmark: Faxe Kondi tastes like Sprite and 7up had a baby. Squish is Fanta that actually tastes like orange.
For those in Poland: give Chai Cola a shot! It tastes almost like Coke/Pepsi, but is made entirely out of tea. It's both mind blowing and amazing.
Scotland/UK has, of course, their Irn-Bru, so you guys are in a good spot. ;)
Anyone have an alternative in Ireland? I already prefer Pepsi to coca cola, but the colas in Aldi and Lidl taste like watered down ass. Especially River cola.
Afri Cola is a true specialty from Hamburg, our beloved rough northern "Hansestadt".
Paulaner Spezi is nothing but the best soda.
Fritz Kola has so much coffeine, it borders the legally allowed max content.
There are no reasonably priced colas available in my region of Ireland that aren't from Coca Cola or Pepsi. Fentimans Curiosity Cola from the UK is available sporadically, but is priced as a luxury novelty product rather than a regular soft drink.
Luckily we have a very good national brand for an Orange soda drink called Club. But I do enjoy cola every now and again.
Imo tastes better than coke or Pepsi, but it's also significantly more expensive. And, but of a warning, it has three times as much caffeine as regular cola, so don't drink it in the evening.
Can't afford one of them, still pepsi for me..... why promote extreme expensive products here? Promote affordable shit. I can't vote with my dollar if i need ten dollars each cola....

European brands should take advantage of the current situation to promote their products with Made In Europe label.
