FANTA

Description

Fanta is a popular carbonated soft drink that is known for its vibrant flavors and bright colors. It was created in 1940 by the Coca-Cola Company in Germany during World War II due to difficulties in importing Coca-Cola syrup. Today, Fanta is enjoyed worldwide in numerous fruit-flavored varieties. Its signature characteristic is its fizzy, refreshing nature combined with fruity taste profiles such as orange, grape, strawberry, pineapple, and many others. The drink is typically sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners, depending on the region and product line.
