I hope it does not work out for them. Also in Germany we have many alternatives which are cheaper and come close to the taste of CocaCola.
I tried out spezi when I travelled to Germany, it was weirdly nice.
I miss it.
Paulaner or Riegele?
Paulaner!
PFUI DEIFEL! GEH WEG!
I even like to say the local breweries often are way better! Leikheimer, Alaska, Riegele Spezi, and more. Waayy better!
One aspect I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the rise of local premium cola brands in recent years. Brands like Fritz Kola, Afri Cola and Mio Mio have taken a significant chunk out of Coca colas marketshare without competing on price. Instead, they focus on standout features like higher caffeine levels, local bottling in reusable glass bottles, and/or organic ingredients. And since it’s working, more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon, like the red bull, the brewery Flensburger and even some localised water bottling brands all offer their own colas now.
In light of this, this advertising campaign from coca cola feels like a desperate move to me.
But owned in…
This is exactly why this kind of marketing would never work for me. It’s why even if I lived in the EU, I would still refuse to use Google products because I don’t trust them, even if they’re technically bound by law to care more about protecting my data.
Made in Germany? Well, so is Spezi, and Fritz cola, and Freeway Cola, and Ja! Cola, and a bunch of others.
Alaska and Leikheim are my favorits <3 But nothing bests Riegele Spezi (the Original)
People are not going to fall for this everyone knows it’s American
“Come on, you guys used to love us!”
Sinalco ftw
Still a soda tho. 👎
No one in Europe calls it that, though ;-)
I get a chuckle every time people call it a “Cola drink”. In Spanish (LatAm) it means “butt drink” 👀
In spanish (Spain) it means tail drink, which most often a referring to the penis.
I do, when speaking English. Each language has its own word, of course: refrescos, Erfrischungsgetränke, napoje gazowane, etc.
What’s it called there then? Carbonated sugar water?
Fizzy drinks, pop.
Soda is used to describe specifically soda water alone. At least in my experience
Kind of like how cookies are a type of biscuit rather than the name used for all biscuits.
Limo?
Booblenpuppen.
Hehe boob
