Did you know that Fanta was created during World War II by Coke? Basically, they didn't want to associate the Coke brand with Nazism, but they still wanted to sell soda to Germans during the war. Hence, the brand Fanta was created!
So yeah, congrats on supporting Nazis. I bet you drive a Volkswagen too. Asshole.
I've been told that story before, except it wasn't so wrong that time.
Here's the wiki:
Quote:
Fanta originated when ingredients for the production of Coca-Cola became difficult to import into Germany during World War II.[2] As a result, Max Keith, the man in charge of Coca-Cola Deutschland during the Second World War, decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time,[2] including whey and pomace – the "leftovers of leftovers", as Keith later recalled.[3] The name was the result of a brief brainstorming session, which started with Keith exhorting his team to "use their imagination" ("Fantasie" in German), to which one of his salesmen, Joe Knipp, immediately retorted "Fanta!"[3]
The key thing is that the company was essentially a splinter group due to being on opposite sides of the war. When the war ended, they rejoined and went "hey, look what we got desperate enough to make".
Ahh my liberal professor lied to me then...I think they also talk about it in the film "The Corporation"
They talk about IBM selling shit to Nazis that helped them track people in concentration camps too.
