**Update**: no, Fanta isn’t German and Sprite isn’t American. The names are, but the modern drinks were invented in Italy and Germany respectively. The original German Fanta was a whey and pomace drink, and the American Sprite brand was used for a few strawberry and orange drinks before being repurposed by Coca Cola.
Isn’t Fanta from Germany?
kvass FTW!

You guys don’t understand how good it is, sprite and 7up isn’t even in the same league.
In Italy we have Cedrata, Spuma, Chinotto, Gassosa, Crodino, Sanbitter and all the beverages made by San Pellegrino. They are more worthy than Fanta honestly.
Kofola for the win!
Where’s San Pelegrino?
I’d add cedrata Tassoni for Italy
Loux is the king
Not sure why you wouldn’t include Bosnia and Herzegovina (Senzacija or Sky Cola comes to mind), especially when you had space for it (not sure why Scotland was included when it is part of the UK).
If you haven’t had a Trocadero, you’re missing out on something magical

Recently bumped into [this US-centric soft drinks post](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1663kgt/oc_three_companies_own_the_us_soft_drink_market/), shortly followed by [this frequently reposted (and frequently criticised) Europe map](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/nvtl9m/soft_drinks_from_all_over_europe/), so thougt I’d have a go at improving it. Objections and rants welcome as always, as are any suggestions for the missing countries.

Shout out to Almdudler which I tried for the first time a few months ago. Wish we had it here.
Slovenian Cockta is the only soda beverage that I like, it’s really good.
