      @@Megalomaniakaal Yes, fruit is not for childern. It's for people that work hard. They need the sugar for energy. Otherwise they need to eat mutch more. People that do not move should not eat to mutch fruit. They should stick to granes and other fibers. In the old days fruit was also bigger and considered a meal for poor people after the war. Totally different times. When all our soils are depleted we can eat fruit again. Now, we still can grow more healty stuff like beans and cabage.

      ​​@@RogerKeulenfruit JUICE is the problem, fruits are good for kids. A whole apple has fiber and thus is pretty filling. Juice has no fiber, it has relatively empty calories. This is why nuance is important. Sugars aren't bad per se, we dont have to avoid it all together. An apple will always be a better snack for kids than something with refind sugars

      Since Ian said the same in his video, I have to believe that what they mean is the difference of natural orange flavour and artificial oange flavour. You can tell that the orange in European Fanta is natural. Even if it doesn't taste like juice, it doesn't taste fundamentally different from juice. You can tell it's from the same origin. With artificial orange flavour, tthat's different. It does not taste like it has anything to do with actual oranges.

    In EU, the Fanta Orange manufacturer indicates producing nine recipes depending on the country. The first ingredient is still sparkling water. In France, the second is of the concentrate of orange juice, as in Spain and Italy; But otherwise there is sugar or, worse, fructose-glucose syrup in several central European countries (Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia).
    In addition, the additives are very variable from one country to another; Thus, the fantas sold in France contains a curator (potassium sorbate) and synthetic sweeteners, also used in the Hungarian, Spanish and Dutch fantas.
    The ANPC has discovered differences in the composition of certain Fanta products sold in different European countries - the concentration of orange juice varies between less than 5% and 20%.

      @@vomm Actually quite easy to respond. Real orange juice contains complex natural aromas like limonene, citral, and other esters and aldehydes that give orange its smell and taste. Even 3% juice can contribute, making the flavor feel more "real" and nuanced. Also, Juice has a natural balance of sugars and acids that artificial flavoring often struggles to match. Even a small amount of real juice can influence this balance, providing a more natural sweetness and acidity that makes the drink taste closer to fresh orange juice (also by using real juice, producers have more close contact and exact values of what makes it taste real).
      In the case of European Fanta, the added juice contributes subtle but essential elements that bring the flavor closer to what people expect from a natural orange taste. While it might not drastically change the nutritional value, it does impact how we perceive the flavor, aroma, enhancing the overall experience. (Either way, fanta is considered as bad as cola in europe. Better options would be to drink Orangina or other orange lemonades. Also, Drinking straight orange juice is not that much healthier because of high amounts of concentrated fructose)

So Fanta wasn't bought by Coca Cola. And yes, it was originally made from apples and whey, in 1955 Coca Cola Italy came up with the version relying on oranges which has become the standard Fanta nowadays at least in Europe.

    We Europeans prefer more natural tastes in our drink. Your Dr. Pepper tastes like somebody liquified marzipan. German supermarket EDEKA sells a lemonade with 20% orange juice. Fanta's 3% juice are not enough for the taste so they use flavouring agents but we normally use those that are also found in the fruits and harvest them from micro organisms. If possible, try red bull "organic" cola, which is made from mainly natural things. Not cheap so a treat I occasionally buy.
    In Germany, Coca Cola abolished all sugar containing lemonades except classic coke and classic fanta in bottles. Other flavours with sugar in it are only available in small cans.

    Funny thing Fanta was invented in Germany after WW 2 because German soldiers wanted to have something sweet and refreshing chocolate was to expensive so they did the only thing they had put concentrated orange extract into water with little bit of sugar and the fanta was born.
    And even if Coca Cola bought Fanta it still is a German drink. The reason why American Fanta tastes like that is because the most individual Americans care even less about original Tastes of Fruits or overall Food thats why most industrial recipes have so much sugar or "fabricated" flavour inside even though in germany we see more of these flavours from year to year since the industry tries to spend less and less money per product here as well.

      Another thing to note is that corn syrup in Europe has less fructose (sugar), it is also much less produced and used in general.

      The American version simply does not exist in Europe unless someone wants to import it, which would make it more expensive and there is the downside of not catering to the local market.

    - 0,5 l in a one-way (return) bottle (around 2 servings)
    - 1,0l mostly in a multi-way plastic bottle, but also in the one-use like here available (around 4 servings (hard plastic and cleaned by the
    companies before being used again.))
    - the 1,5 l “family” bottle (around 6 servings)
    - the 2 l bottle, one-way bottle (8 servings (not always available every time in the year, but almost guaranteed to the holidays
    (Halloween, etc.), events (soccer tournaments, etc.), and more, in consideration of a big group))

    I was an exchange student for 3 months in the US, from Italy. First week I got severe belly and stomach pains. My exchange family actually ordered pizza and what they thought were Italian meals but it was actually fastfood overloaded with sugar, nothing came even close to what we eat in Italy. I realised they actually did it with the best intentions but I asked them if I could prepare us all fresh Italian meals. It’s strange to say but even veggies taste completely different in the US. I made fresh lasagna’s, pizza’s,.. with their kids, who were my age. They were amazed that it tasted so great but I was amazed it tasted nothing like in Italy while we always use my Nonna’s recipe. I don’t really like sweets or soda’s. I was happy that I found my favorite Italian cookies in the US, and hugely disappointed they tasted nothing like in Italy. I ate those in Spain, Belgium, Germany,… they tasted exactly like in Italy. In the US you taste that they added much more sugar to them. I was wondering why they did this? I am not even amazed that a lot of Americans have a sugar addiction. Even coffee taste like sugar. When my exchange family came to visit us last summer, they were totally amazed about everything but especially our food. They said that they felt in heaven. I am one of the few people who really don’t like fastfood.

    The answer is very simple. In Europe, there is public healthcare. Therefore, food regulations are more stringent because the healthier people are, the smaller the burden on the state budget. That is why carcinogenic ingredients are not allowed for general consumption and that is why food in Europe is of better quality. In the USA, medical companies and hospitals care about people getting sick because it is a billion-dollar business. And the caps are attached because it reduces environmental pollution by 10%. You know, a healthy environment means healthier people. In the USA, no one cares about that.

Think of it as a treat that you sometimes enjoy even though you're harming your body, but at least it's better quality than the cheap stuff. Sweets and soda should only be sold at high prices and in high quality under fair production conditions anyway, but healthy food must become more affordable.

    the "lid thing" is to make it stick to the bottle so laying around plastic in the environment is reduced and it is disposed 'in one piece' so the (micro-)plastic in the food chain and in the environment is reduced. They introduced it not too long ago, a year or two, I'd say.
