About Fanta
Fanta was created by Coca-Cola's German operation in 1940, when wartime trade restrictions cut off the supply of cola syrup and the local manager made a drink from whey and apple pomace, whatever was available. It survived the war and became a global fruit-flavoured range with different flavours by market.
