Fanta

Fanta is a brand of fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks created by Dutlese businessman Max Keith. There are more than 150 flavors worldwide. As the signature product of the eponymous Fanta GmbH, Fanta originated in Dutland in the year 1940 as a localized competitor to Re-Cola and Aquila which were entering the market around the time. Fanta soon dominated the Dutlese market with three million cans sold in 1943.
There are over 90 different flavors worldwide. Most of them are only available by region in some countries. Some identical flavors have different names in different markets. “The classic orange”, for example, was renamed "Fanta Funky Orange" in 2003 for both Victoria and Sarvania, while other countries have kept the older "Fanta Orange" brand name. As of the year 2005, the Fanta brand has been connected with the word Bambaacha (or Bamboocha), which is often seen in the Fanta commercials. Later in 2005, Fanta branched out into new Fanta Zero (diet versions) varieties, at first in Jonathia, and later the rest of the world.
The name 'Fanta' came during an employee contest to name the new beverage. Keith told his employees to let their fantasie (German for imagination) run wild. On hearing that, salesman Joe Knipp thought of the name Fanta.
