Fanta, sometimes referred to as Bamboocha, is a soft drink brand produced and distributed by the Coca-Cola Bottling Co.. It was originally made from byproducts of cheese and cider production, since Coca-Cola was not able to be sold in Nazi Germany due to shipping problems after the British and French declarations of war in late 1939. The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. (Germany) produced Fanta Orange in order to keep profits in the country during the war. After World War II, Fanta was introduced to America by Coca-Cola, and in 1960 they bought the trademark. Fanta Orange is the most popular Fanta flavor, available in 180 countries. In terms of volume, Brazil is the largest consumer of Fanta in the world.
There are over 70 flavors world-wide; however, most of them are only available by region in some countries. For example, in Romania, there is "Fanta Shokata" based on the traditional Romanian drink "Socată" made from elderflower. In Switzerland the local fruit, cassis is used to produce Fanta as well. Some identical flavors have different names in different markets, the classic orange, for example, was rebranded "Fanta Funky Orange" in 2003 for the Nordic countries and Belgium, while other countries retain the older "Fanta Orange" brand.
Advertising
In 2004, The Coca-Cola Company began folding what had been known as Minute Maid soft drinks (introduced in 1987 in the United States) and began an aggressive advertising campaign to expand the market for Fanta (which had been available in the United States since 1960), especially among younger consumers. Their campaign features The Fantanas, a group of singing women whose tagline is Don't You Wanta Fanta? The Fantanas (and their flavors) are Kiki (orange), Sophia (grape), Capri (strawberry), and Lola (pineapple). Along with traditional television and print advertisements, Fanta has been aggressively marketed in movie trailers targeted at teenage audiences.
