How World War II Created Fanta | The Surprising History of Fanta

Fanta is one of the world’s most recognizable soft drinks, but its origin story is far stranger than most people realize. During World War II, Coca-Cola’s German operation could no longer obtain the ingredients needed to make Coca-Cola. Faced with severe wartime shortages and trade restrictions, the company developed a completely new drink using ingredients available locally. That drink became Fanta. In this documentary, we explore how World War II shaped the creation of Fanta, how the original drink differed from the orange soda we know today, what happened to the brand after the war, and how Fanta eventually became a global beverage giant. From wartime Germany to supermarket shelves around the world, this is the surprising history behind one of Coca-Cola’s most famous brands.
