What is Fanta?

An image of Fanta

Fanta is a brand of fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks. It was created in Germany in 1940 by Coca-Cola Deutschland during World War II when a trade embargo affected the import of Coca-Cola syrup. To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland, decided to create a new product using ingredients that were available in Germany at the time, such as whey and apple pomace. The name "Fanta" was the result of a brainstorming session where Keith told his team to use their "fantasie" (German for imagination). One of the salesmen, Joe Knipp, immediately shouted "Fanta!"
