I've barely seen any of the drink alternatives (unfortunately).

Besides Redbull, which I don't drink, I've seen fritz cola, but that's usually at 2-2,5x the price of a coca cola. As an alternative that really stings.

the drink alternatives feel rather german-centric lmao, like fritz seriously?

the only one i know as a more widespread brand is zingo and red bull. And really, we're talking about 3 categories of drink here: cola, orange, and caffeine. I would be very surprised if there aren't at least 3 generic brands available per country that taste perfectly okay and are cheap as fuck to boot.

Hahaha for some reason the generic sodas from Aldi/Lidl/... Slipped my mind. Most of them don't taste that great though. Guess it's a good excuse to just drink more water ( and add a bit of lemon juice or other slices of fruit for flavour ).

Is Fanta made mainly for the European market? Like nobody in the US even knows what that is. They used to love it in Germany though.
