Fanta was originally invented in and for Nazi Germany only during WW2

Some ingredients for Coke could not be imported into Germay due to an embargo.

This led to the head of Coke in Germany inventing a new drink as a replacement using available ingredients and his own idea

Because he made up on the spot using his own imagination, the called it Fantasie, which was shortened to Fanta

Apple Fanta was born.

So next time you have an apple Fanta, just think of it as Nazi juice
