Title: Are Fanta and Sprite Nazi Drinks?
Post by: Binyamin Yisrael on December 08, 2014, 11:56:11 PM
Fanta was created in Germany during the Holocaust by Coca Cola Germany when it was cut off from the mother company in the USA. After the war, Coca Cola took control of the drink invented in Germany.

Sprite was invented in Germany as part of Fanta.

I don't like orange soda like Fanta. I actually don't recall it in the United States. It's more widely available in Israel. I do drink Sprite sometimes. I prefer Pepsi over Coca Cola. Pepsi tastes better. Regular Coca-Cola doesn't taste good. But from a fountain soda machine it's okay. I also like Cherry Coke. Sprite is okay and I don't taste the difference between regular Sprite and diet Sprite. Diet cola doesn't taste good.

You just lost a friend Binyamin. I love Coke and have drank Coke exclusively ever since I can remember. I hate the taste of Pepsi and will not lower myself by drinking it even if in a restaurant which only has Coke. I drink Coke straight from the can and usually have a cold 12pack in the refrigerator.... I see you like the fountain soda but you like Pepsi... Hmmm..

Yes... Coke makes a special 'Kosher for Passover' version (with real sugar) because High Fructose Corn syrup is prohibited during the Holiday of Passover.

My rabbi actually once gave a shiur on Coca Cola once on Passover. His source is above. My rabbi is not Rabbi Mintz. He quoted Rabbi Mintz's article.

Wow, what an interesting article. I haven't read the whole thing but skimmed it...

I remember the rabbi said the Nazis thought Coca Cola was run by Jews. Maybe that has something to do with Coca Cola's German franchise being cut off. Also many Jews thought it was patriotic to like Coca Cola since the Arabs got Pepsi to boycott Israel.

I like Kroger brand zero calorie vitamin water the best. Especially the mango flavor.  And of course if I'm exhausted and need to keep working 5 hour energy helps too. :coffee:

When I was a kid Fanta was everywhere in NY & elsewhere in the US.
The regular Coca Cola tastes great here in Israel just like it did in the 60's & 70's that is bacause they use real sugar & not corn syrup.
Here we have the original coke.
If you want good tasting Coke I suggest you buy Pesach Coke or Mexican Coke.
