- riedel 3y agoSeeing a trend in Germany for non coca cola coke (Fritz ,Afri, ...). Those are however mostly local. Not much royal crown here. Actually seems to be a brand of Dr. Pepper Snappe, which is also not so wide spread in Germany. Only Pepsi has a decent share afaik.
- dayjaby 3y agoPepsi fundamentally changed their recipe. Not really the way to keep customers onboard.
- sgerenser 3y agoReally? Pepsi is the same as its always been in the U.S. (OK, actually the recipe changed when they switched from sugar to HFCS, but that was a long time ago).
- vidarh 3y agoAt least some places, like the UK, "regular" Pepsi is now reduced sugar and full of sweeteners [1] I first worried I had covid or something when I ran across the new version because it suddenly started tasting differently.

- cianmm 3y agoThe Fritz rhubarb soda is incredible and I wish it were easier to find here in Ireland. It’s everywhere in Berlin.
- gattilorenz 3y agoFritz also starts to be popular in NL, I think they're trying to position themselves as the "alternative to the mainstream cola" and inbetween the "regular cola, decent taste" and "red-bull-like caffeinated beverage"
- The_Colonel 3y agoIn Czechia Fritz is popular in bars as a sort of fancier cola.
- keiferski 3y agoVery popular in Montenegro as well.
