I'm from Germany. Many years ago I was on vacation in the US. One day we went to a restaurant where i ordered one Coke and one Fanta with only one glas. The puzzled look of the waitress got even weirder when she saw me pouring both drinks into that one glas. I have to say that taste experience wasn't that enjoyable. But I didn't know about the diiference of German and American Fanta, although the colour should have been a warning sign. 😜
😅Ja der maissirup im limo hat mich auch kalt erwischt😂 . Und Fanta ist kein Fanta😅 Drüben musst du mexikanische Cola und O-Saftschorle nehmen. Yeah the cornsirup in soda caught me Off guard too😂. And Fanta is Not Fanta. Over there you have to use mexican Coke, Orange juice and sparkling Water.
The nutrients per 100ml is so you can easily compare different can and bottle sizes, 250ml 330ml, and 500ml cans and bottles, as well as 750ml, 1l, 1.25l, 1.5l, 1,75l, 2l and sometimes other bottles exist
yeah, but you also can just add the value of individual bottles. Having a total amount of calories makes it easier to fit into your caloric plan, and having calories per 100ml shows whether it's a good deal in the first place
The US serving size is sometimes totally wacky. Like a big cookie might be 4 servings?!? And different products may have completely different serving sizes, making them impossible to compare.
It’s not orange soda mixed with coke. If it was it would be easy to replicate, which we as Germans know is astonishingly hard for Leikeim, Schwipp Schwapp und Co
@@tschumitjuu orange soda and coke are not set terms. You can have two orange sodas which taste nothing alike. Just as you can have two cokes which taste nothing alike. So just blatantly saying 'it isn't orange soda mixed with coke' is just ignorant. And since the bottle literally says "ColaOrange Limonade", it is also simply false.

This brings back childhood memories. "Spezi" was always the go-to drink in restaurants or pubs with my parents when I was not allowed "full" coke yet. It was not branded by Paulaner, it was just simply a mix of Coca Cola and Fanta (which also means the mix varied a lot). For some reason I never ordered it as an adult and I don't really know why, because I love the taste Oo
Spezi was invented by a brewery. The brand was registered by Brewery Riegele in Augsburg in 1956 and used since around 1965 for this carbonated mix of cola and orange soda. The demand for it was to high for the relatively small brewery, so they started in 1977 a franchising system; currently 7 smaller and/or family-run breweries are licensed to produce "Spezi". The far bigger Paulaner brewery had acquired even before (in 1974) a license to use the brand for their own cola-orange mix (they use however their own recipe); in 2023 Paulaner registered the brand "Paulaner Sunset" for the US and plans to market the mix there under that brand. PepsiCo started to produce their own mix in 1969 under the brand "Schwip Schwap", Coca-Cola in 1973 as "Mezzo Mix". Multiple breweries in Germany, Austria and (afaik) Finland offer their own cola-mix drinks using other brand names, but ordering it e.g. in a restaurant most people will simply ask for "Spezi".
Yes, because Riegele "smelled blood" and wanted more money from Paulaner. The ladder bought the right to use the brand Spezi in 1974 for 10.000 Marks. Riegele realized, that they made a bad deal, because it was a one-time payment, Paulaner bought the rights for the brand name for ever. Later they became cleverer and from other breweries, they demanded a yearly payment for the name "Spezi". Realising how much money they lost, (Paulaner sells 100 million liters /26 million gallons of Spezi yearly) they wanted to change this contract to a yearly payment as well. The lost in Germany, so Paulaner may use the brand Spezi without having to pay yearly, but not abroad. Hence the change to "Sunset" in the US.
Paulaner Spezi actually is a copy of the original Spezi of Riegele brewery in Augsburg; Paulaner brewery bought the naming rights for 40 years back in the 80’s. I can be called a Spezi purist, as I prefer the original Spezi, which comes in a bottle, and is a tad less carbonated than the Paulaner version. The reason why the Coca Cola version (Mezzo Mix) or the Pepsi one (SchwipSchwap) are NOT called Spezi is for naming rights, as mentioned above. Only Paulaner weere allowed to use “Spezi”, and as they are a larger company than the original brewery Riegele, Paulaner Spezi is believed to be the original even by many Germans. The exclusivity of the name has run out, so now there are many Spezis plopping up everywhre. But there is only one (2, if you deign to count Paulaner) original.
That's not correct. Spezi ist a franchise product licensed by the Riegele brewery to local breweries. Paulaner bought the right to use the name before there was this franchise model. The newest francisee is Krombacher. The trade mark is still held by Riegele.
I live close to the german border in the netherlands. Shops don't sell it but we do mix it ourselves and call it 'diesel'. Once a month i go shopping in germany and always get some bottles of 'schwip schwap'. Same stuff different brand. And yeah, dr pepper is also great stuff.
@ We actually call that a drechszack. Funny how local languases intertwine. In this case it all stems from 'Diets'. Roughly spoken around cologne and a slice of the south of the netherlands.
You might not have noticed, but most German cans aren't made of alumin(i)um, they're made of tinplate. If you look at the little recycling mark (the triangle of arrows), it should have an "Fe" in it instead of "Al".
I was today years old when i found out that Coca Cola sells Mezzo Mix only in a few countries. I found out about that fact because i was surprised, that you did not know the combination of Coke and orange soda and googled for "Mezzo Mix USA" Over here in Germany even all the cheap brands have like 3-4 basic tastes, that everyone produces: Cola, Orange Soda, Lemon Soda and Cola-Orange Soda
Mezomix is germany exclusive Other countries Import it (mainly the other german speaking countries) if at all. Every country they produce in has/had one exclusive fanta.
Yes and no. Spezi is a slang word for buddy. But then it is short for "Spezialist" which means expert. So people use "Spezi" to say expert in an ironic joking way. Spezi the drink is short for "Spezialität" which means delicacy.
You're so aorable an it's always wholesome to watch your videos. I guess Spezi is for most germans (or at least the german millennials) such a beloved childhood memory and many of us still like to drink it as adults.
Little funfact in case you don´t know: Many beer producers/ brands were named after medieval monastery orders. Like Paulaner, Franziskaner etc. were monks who are mostly famous for their brewing skills :)
in germany we put the 100ml kcal values on every baverage. That way it's easier to compare between different sizes of cans and bottles ;) The same way, every... _'solid food'(?)_ gets the 100g treatment. To make it easier to compare ^^
Spezi as a name is a bit complicated. Technically it's a trademark and not everybody can use it, but colloquially most people call cola-orange mixes spezi, like everybody calls any tissue a kleenex. Coca Cola has its own spezi, called MezzoMix. Pepsi has its own called Schwip Schwap. But Paulaner (yes, the same guys that do the beer) is considered a higher quality one, even though the Coca Cola one has less sugar (yes I was surprised as well) If you go to a bar or diner and order a spezi everyone knows what you want and some might mix it themselves, but most will just have a bottle of the stuff their supplier offers. PS: You should send the can to one of your German fans, so they can get the 25ct Pfand back.
@@Kloetenhenne Stimmt, bei meinen Großeltern in Süddeutschland haben wir auch immer kalter Kaffee gesagt. Hier in NRW, gabs dann aber auch schon mal nur leere Blicke. Und einmal sogar ne Tasse alten Kaffee.
Please also try Out some product with "Waldmeister" flavour. It is a herb-based flavour that is very much only used in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Could have looked up the pronunciation of "Spezi" as well: Spezi = SHPAY-TSEE (German "z" is always pronounced like the beginning of the word "tsunami")
"Spezi" is a brand name for this kind of soda invented and named by the bavarian "Brauhaus Riegele" form Augsburg in the late 60's. The Paulaner Spezi is just a copy cat, because Riegele didn't save the legal rights on their brand. The Paulaner Spezi is the US "Sunset".
You will be surprised that there is now also a US Version called Paulana Sunset which is the European Spezi but free shipping in Califonia and Vegas. It also has based on the Webpage the european recipe but just another name for the US market.
What's really funny is that I drank a Paulaner Spezi right before I saw your video. However, I only use glass bottles at home and not cans. 7:30 By the way, you can tell from the logo above the bar code that this is a can for sale in Germany. Because this logo shows that this can is a single-use beverage container. If you return this can, you will get €0.25 deposit back.
Greetings from Germany! Try to mix coke and german Fanta! The easiest way to make Spezi for your own😉 Or if you feel really emperimental try a mixture of a third each of Coke, Fanta and European Sprite... 😉
*german* coke (with beet sugar) and *german* fanta orange (with beet sugar, 3% real juice, and natural color) ... or *maybe mexican* (with cane sugar) ... but *_not_* american coke (with HFCS) and *_not_* american fanta (with HFCS, no juice at all, and carcinogenic neon colorant) ps: yes, many breweries also produce at least one kind of "soda" to be able to offer something to the whole family including children *_(below 16 :-)_* the *original* Spezi is produced by other breweries. Paulaner once got a lifetime license to use the name "Spezi", but have to use a slightly different recipe. americans buy cans of 12 floz (355 ml) while european cans usually are 1/2 liter (500 ml, 16.9 floz) or 1/3 liter (rounded 330 ml, 11.2 floz)
It would have to be German Coke mixed with German Fanta. Doesn’t work with the US stuff. I have tried it myself, and as a UA-cam reference, Hayley Alexis has tried it too.
I don't know if anyone told you yet but there is also Paulaner Sunset which is the American Licenced version of Paulaner Spezi. I believe fans of the Spezi wanted to sell this in the US 2 and reached out to Paulaner and now it's officially licensed and sold in the US 2.
Spezi is oftentimes consumed in hot months, June - August (September even this year), at least i see a lot of people getting Spezi with Ice cubes. It IS really refreshing, consuming it Ice cold while eating something meaty. So the real joy of it is in warm months. ALSO, because of the sugar, for people who have a record having a small circulatory collapse, it is perfect (if cold: small sips, drinking it slowly).
Heyho, greetings from Germany. Honestly. In germany spezi, or mezzo mix from the coca cola company or schwipp schwapp for pepsi show it very well. In germany those Mix Drinks, Orange and Cola, is kinda famouse. Many drink it. Some only like coke or fanta. But many like it over here. I drink mostly Mezzo Mix. It's my fav Soda even. Next to Uludag. A Turkey Limo, that is famouse over here and often drank with a Döner Kebab.
As a fellow German and Uludag enjoyer I still don't understand the cola + orangeade craze~ Cola + lemonade (E.G. Coke + Sprite) or directly Vita Cola tastes a million times better!
thats a regional specific name. I heard it from people from bawü ^(i think?) as an anecdote when they tried to order it anywhere else and got actually cold coffe. but everywhere I lived it as always been "spezi"
@@Miristzuheiss I live in Berlin for 20 yrs now and never heard it here, but I guess you can switch to another part of town and everything is called different, so I don't say its impossible. But I'm from NDS originally and spend time in the north in general, in Bavaria and also in NRW and at least where I was it was never Kalter Kaffee (at least not from natives of that area). So I still stand by my original statement. Maybe a few more regions than I thought, but "Kalter Kaffee" is definitely not the general normal German name for it.
Now u have to drink some "club mate". But buy yourself some bottles, the first one will taste like an ashtray, the next ones will be wonderful. It's Berlin culture

9:45 it depends on where you live. where I live people drink more cola but I have also heard that somewhere in Germany they hardly drink any cola but spezi
You can make your own Spezi if you take german coke and german fanta (orange) and mix it. You can experiment with the mixture depending how much orange flavour you like with the coke. Next step in german mixed drinks is Radler: german beer (pilsener) mixed with german Sprite
@@tubekulose Yes , ich spreche german mit berliner Slan und ich weiß, dass german für einen Amerikaner sehr schwer ist . Aberrrrrr, ich liebe es , wenn ich einen Amerikaner zuhören darf , wenn er german spricht.
For anyone interested, some hints for pronouncing some of German's more tricky letters/letter combinations: - ä like a in English 'at' - ß like english 'ss' like in 'miss'. It is a sharp 's', the letter is originally a ligature of s and z, hence its name eszett (es-zed) in German. - ie like 'ee' in 'meet' - ei like "i" in in english 'find' - au like 'ou' in english 'ouch' - eu/äu like 'oi' in english 'moist' - sch like english 'sh' ö, ch, and ü are trickier because english does not really have these sounds. As for ü and ö - if you know french, they are equivalent to french 'u' ('tu') and 'eu' ('peu') respectively, somewhat similar to sounds between u and e / o and e. ch actually has two associated sounds, one being like a raspy 'h', and the other being a little like 'sh', but further back in the mouth.
The recipes on Wiki show that you can't taste the difference. It's all in your head. And certainly not in the blind test. Die Rezepturen bei Wiki ergeben, daß man den Unterschied nicht schmeckt. Alles Einbildung. Und im Blindtest erst recht nicht.
Here in Europe and preferably in Germany people also like to mix Coke with Beer. It's called a "Diesel" like the fuel type that you pump at the gas station, because of its golden brown-ish color. And in some supermarkets you can also find Coke brands mixed with Vodka or Whiskey. Needless to say, the Cola flavor as a base usually goes well with many fruity flavors, such as Lemon and Orange blending best ofcourse. It's the same effect when drinking Black and Lemon tea together, both hot and ice tea. I also highly recommend it. The "Mezzo Mix" (Fanta Cola) is also another popular mixed soda drink. Last but not least, personally I also like the Cherry Coke, but it's not sold that often anymore and has become very rare.
You can mix Coke with Fanta (Orange Soda) to create Spezi 😅 And it's so weird to me that you don't know Coke with Orange Soda, like it's so simple. 😅 And when you mix it yourself you can decide if you want to have more Coke or more Orange Soda.
probably no american got the idea to mix coke with neon bright fanta and then also have lots of HFCS ... german Coke has 10-11 g (beet) sugar per 100 ml, and german Fanta below 8g ps: yes, mixing it yourself is best, being able to adjust the ratio from almost pure Coke to almost pure Fanta, and I also use Fanta Lemon instead of Fanta Orange.
In my country you can order a coke with fresh lemon juice in restaurants. Or you mix coke and fanta 50/50 at home. Have you heard of 'Radler', Ryan? It's mixing beer with lemon/orange soda. You can also buy it in stores already mixed.
Spezi (s̶p̶e̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ pronounced sh-b-e-zi with a "e" like in pet, the "zi" is actually spelled like the WWII "zi" ;-) ) is a bavarian shortcut for buddy (like "special friend").
its also used in austria an other southern german tongues like in rhineland-palatinate as word for friend/homie. but in palatinate, we call the drink 'kalter Kaffee', so we dont get to confused i guess! :-D
Since Christmas season is starting here in Germany with all the Christmas markets opening up, I'd like to make the suggestion of checking out Bergparade which are mininer's parades that are a huge part of Christmas traditions especially in Saxony (especially in the Erzgebirge - Ore Mountains). "Adventszauber 2023 - Bergparaden und Lichterglanz im Erzgebirge" is a long TV program about it with decent English subtitles. And "#22 Steigerlied auf den Bergparaden" is a nice mix if the most well known song connected to these parades.
Since when corn syrip is unreal sugar? wtf .. it's both glucose, both normal sugar. "But our sugar is superior to the us sugar!!!!! we are better!!!!!"
Drink bottles and cans are metric in continental Europe, their volume are fractions of 1 liter. (0.2l = 1/5l, 0.25l = 1/4 l, 330ml = 0.33l ~ 1/3 l, 0.5l = 1/2 l and so on) Only british and irish cans are the exception, because they still use pint (0.568l) as the default beer size instead of 0.5l. Our austrian friend introduced me to Spezi 30 years ago: she mixed 50% coca cola with 50% fanta orange.
Spezi is rather a regional brand than a Soda. There are different vendors selling companies selling mixtures of Coke with Fanta, Sprite or Lemonade under different names. I think it started many many years ago with some people ordering mixtures of Coke + Fanta, or Coke + Beer or Fanta + Beer in bars, where the barkeeper just mixed both together.
A little history on the subject of Spezi: The "Spezi" brand was registered in 1956 by the Riegele brewery in Augsburg. In 1977, it founded the 'Spezi Markengetränke Verband' with partners, in which small breweries could buy a licence to produce Spezi for their region. The Munich brewery group Paulaner made a one-off payment of DM 10,000 in 1974, before the association was founded, to conclude a contractual agreement with the Riegele brewery from Augsburg regarding the bottling and use of the name. After unsuccessful talks to renegotiate a licence agreement, the Riegele brewery terminated the contractual agreement in 2021. In its judgement of 11 October 2022, the Regional Court of Munich I ruled that the contractual agreement between two breweries on the right to use the name Paulaner Spezi from 1974 continues to exist. This means that the Paulaner brewery may continue to use the name Paulaner Spezi. This is the reason why there are currently two companies in Germany that are authorised to use the name 'Spezi': 'Spezi Original' and 'Paulaner Spezi'. In my opinion, 'Paulaner Spezi' clearly tastes better.😊
Is there other stuff also missing in America? Red Fassbrause? Bionade? Almdudler? Waldmeister Brause? Lichtenauer Himbeer-Orange? Bitter Lemon Brause? Bad Brambacher Tropic? ... 😅
Im astonished at how many people here in the comment spread fake information as „Spezi is just Coke and Orange Soda“ WRONG. It’s an entirely different drink that’s so hard to copy no other brand other than licensed Spezi manufacturers can replicate it

*PAULANER is, in the first place, a brewery from Munich in Bavaria. All beers are brewed in accordance with the Bavarian purity law from 1516. It has nothing to do with the rest of Germany. ⬅ MIA SAN MIA.* 🔥😈🔥

It's fun to watch.
I agree, it was very funny.
0:54 "Ninties"? The font of the "Spezi" and the colours look more like the 70s, slighly psychedelic.
60s.
Coca Cola sells Spezi in Germany as Mezzo-Mix, I believe.
correct, but it's just called a cola-orange mix because they aren't allow to name it spezi.
Yes indeed. And the Pepsi version is called Schwip Schwap - which sounds kind of weird imo, but I guess they thought of "splish splash" when they made up the name.
@@xrecix no, because its not 100% Orange juice. Mezzo Mix is Coca Cola+Fanta while Spezi is Cola with Orange juice

Comparing Spezi to Dr.Pepper is a CRIME 😭 but glad u like it - bc everyone in Germany is gonna agree - Spezi is amazing
For sure i know a lot of people, but no one who drinks Spezi or Mezzo Mix
I don't agree
Spezi ist Spitze!
Spezi ist Spitze, aber nicht das von Paulaner, sondern das Original 😁
Dr pepper tates very different in the us to getmany. I actually don't like the german dr pepper but the American one is one of my favorite Sodas right up there with spezi
Paulaner Spezi is also available in the US with the name "Paulaner Sunset"
i thought it was sunrise
This brings back childhood memories. "Spezi" was always the go-to drink in restaurants or pubs with my parents when I was not allowed "full" coke yet. It was not branded by Paulaner, it was just simply a mix of Coca Cola and Fanta (which also means the mix varied a lot). For some reason I never ordered it as an adult and I don't really know why, because I love the taste Oo
Exact what my memory tells me.
Schnitzel mit Pommes und Spezi 😂
Spezi was invented by a brewery. The brand was registered by Brewery Riegele in Augsburg in 1956 and used since around 1965 for this carbonated mix of cola and orange soda. The demand for it was to high for the relatively small brewery, so they started in 1977 a franchising system; currently 7 smaller and/or family-run breweries are licensed to produce "Spezi". The far bigger Paulaner brewery had acquired even before (in 1974) a license to use the brand for their own cola-orange mix (they use however their own recipe); in 2023 Paulaner registered the brand "Paulaner Sunset" for the US and plans to market the mix there under that brand.
PepsiCo started to produce their own mix in 1969 under the brand "Schwip Schwap", Coca-Cola in 1973 as "Mezzo Mix".
Multiple breweries in Germany, Austria and (afaik) Finland offer their own cola-mix drinks using other brand names, but ordering it e.g. in a restaurant most people will simply ask for "Spezi".
Yes, because Riegele "smelled blood" and wanted more money from Paulaner. The ladder bought the right to use the brand Spezi in 1974 for 10.000 Marks. Riegele realized, that they made a bad deal, because it was a one-time payment, Paulaner bought the rights for the brand name for ever. Later they became cleverer and from other breweries, they demanded a yearly payment for the name "Spezi". Realising how much money they lost, (Paulaner sells 100 million liters /26 million gallons of Spezi yearly) they wanted to change this contract to a yearly payment as well. The lost in Germany, so Paulaner may use the brand Spezi without having to pay yearly, but not abroad. Hence the change to "Sunset" in the US.
"Is that what Spezi means in german? A little sparkle?" Naw. Spezi is a bavarian slangterm for "pal"/"friend".
Spezialabfüllung Kola-misch war der originalname, wurde bisschen gekürzt
wieder was gelernt
Naw, "Spezl" is a Bavarian slang term for "best friend" (really only used for men).
Paulaner Spezi actually is a copy of the original Spezi of Riegele brewery in Augsburg; Paulaner brewery bought the naming rights for 40 years back in the 80’s. I can be called a Spezi purist, as I prefer the original Spezi, which comes in a bottle, and is a tad less carbonated than the Paulaner version.
The reason why the Coca Cola version (Mezzo Mix) or the Pepsi one (SchwipSchwap) are NOT called Spezi is for naming rights, as mentioned above. Only Paulaner weere allowed to use “Spezi”, and as they are a larger company than the original brewery Riegele, Paulaner Spezi is believed to be the original even by many Germans. The exclusivity of the name has run out, so now there are many Spezis plopping up everywhre. But there is only one (2, if you deign to count Paulaner) original.
That's not correct. Spezi ist a franchise product licensed by the Riegele brewery to local breweries. Paulaner bought the right to use the name before there was this franchise model. The newest francisee is Krombacher. The trade mark is still held by Riegele.
@ thank you for the correction. Then it was that the exclusivity of Paulaner‘s deal ran out recently.
@@Die_Oile Nope. If you want to know more, Wikipedia got a good article about this topic.
I live close to the german border in the netherlands. Shops don't sell it but we do mix it ourselves and call it 'diesel'. Once a month i go shopping in germany and always get some bottles of 'schwip schwap'. Same stuff different brand. And yeah, dr pepper is also great stuff.
But Diesel in germany would be Beer and cola
Sure its "diesel"? We have "diesel" in germany as well, but its strictly beer and coke, not orange soda Oo
@@fernsehspiel342 Cola Bier heißt bei uns (Rheinland) Drecksack!

We actually call that a drechszack. Funny how local languases intertwine. In this case it all stems from 'Diets'. Roughly spoken around cologne and a slice of the south of the netherlands.
You might not have noticed, but most German cans aren't made of alumin(i)um, they're made of tinplate. If you look at the little recycling mark (the triangle of arrows), it should have an "Fe" in it instead of "Al".
I was today years old when i found out that Coca Cola sells Mezzo Mix only in a few countries. I found out about that fact because i was surprised, that you did not know the combination of Coke and orange soda and googled for "Mezzo Mix USA"
Over here in Germany even all the cheap brands have like 3-4 basic tastes, that everyone produces: Cola, Orange Soda, Lemon Soda and Cola-Orange Soda
Mezomix is germany exclusive
Other countries Import it (mainly the other german speaking countries) if at all.
Every country they produce in has/had one exclusive fanta.
Spezi is a Bavarian word. It means friend or buddy, but can also be a friendly term for someone who is a bit on the shady side business wise.
Yes and no. Spezi is a slang word for buddy. But then it is short for "Spezialist" which means expert. So people use "Spezi" to say expert in an ironic joking way.
Spezi the drink is short for "Spezialität" which means delicacy.
Don't you mean 'Spezl'?
You're so aorable an it's always wholesome to watch your videos. I guess Spezi is for most germans (or at least the german millennials) such a beloved childhood memory and many of us still like to drink it as adults.
Little funfact in case you don´t know:
Many beer producers/ brands were named after medieval monastery orders.
Like Paulaner, Franziskaner etc. were monks who are mostly famous for their brewing skills :)
Now we need to compare the Paulaner Spezi to the Coca Cola Spezi/Mezzo Mix !
Und schwipp schwapp
And not to forget the Original Spezi!
Paulaner is selling Spezi under a different name officially in the US. They call it Paulaner Sunrise
But... is it the same, really? Or a different recipe again?
it think it's Paulaner Sunset
@@sylviav6900 It's the same. Even filled at the same factory in Germany. There were some weird cases where Sunset bottles were available here too.
Paulaner doesn't have the rights to use the name Spezi outside of Germany
in germany we put the 100ml kcal values on every baverage.
That way it's easier to compare between different sizes of cans and bottles ;)
The same way, every... _'solid food'(?)_ gets the 100g treatment. To make it easier to compare ^^
Bruder… die benutzen Inch, Ounzen, Fuß, Meilen, Gallon, Farenheit und den ganzen anderen Müll😂
Das werden die niemals verstehen..
@@holz2808Das, und die meisten Amis sind eh zu faul um da irgendwas zu rechnen😂
Spezi as a name is a bit complicated. Technically it's a trademark and not everybody can use it, but colloquially most people call cola-orange mixes spezi, like everybody calls any tissue a kleenex.
Coca Cola has its own spezi, called MezzoMix. Pepsi has its own called Schwip Schwap.
But Paulaner (yes, the same guys that do the beer) is considered a higher quality one, even though the Coca Cola one has less sugar (yes I was surprised as well)
If you go to a bar or diner and order a spezi everyone knows what you want and some might mix it themselves, but most will just have a bottle of the stuff their supplier offers.
PS: You should send the can to one of your German fans, so they can get the 25ct Pfand back.

loving this "series" of you trying german drinks, best reactor so likeable
Please also try Out some product with "Waldmeister" flavour. It is a herb-based flavour that is very much only used in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

It's the symbol of childhood for all of us and THE flavor everyone thinks about when something is translucent dark green.
It is the same Paulaner. It is a brewery and they make some different kinds of beverages
The self-germanisation goes on ... 😁🤣
Could have looked up the pronunciation of "Spezi" as well:
Spezi = SHPAY-TSEE (German "z" is always pronounced like the beginning of the word "tsunami")
They started selling spezi in the US. It is called „sunset“ there
"Spezi" is a brand name for this kind of soda invented and named by the bavarian "Brauhaus Riegele" form Augsburg in the late 60's.
The Paulaner Spezi is just a copy cat, because Riegele didn't save the legal rights on their brand.
The Paulaner Spezi is the US "Sunset".
its "laner" not "läner". the way you pronounce it, it would be written with the omnious ä.
laaner
yes it is the a you would use in "barn".
You will be surprised that there is now also a US Version called Paulana Sunset which is the European Spezi but free shipping in Califonia and Vegas. It also has based on the Webpage the european recipe but just another name for the US market.
What's really funny is that I drank a Paulaner Spezi right before I saw your video. However, I only use glass bottles at home and not cans. 7:30 By the way, you can tell from the logo above the bar code that this is a can for sale in Germany. Because this logo shows that this can is a single-use beverage container. If you return this can, you will get €0.25 deposit back.
A Spezi, or Spezl, is a Bavarian word for a buddy or friend. And Paulaner (yes, its the brewery) is in Bavaria. You see, it all makes sense... :)
Greetings from Germany! Try to mix coke and german Fanta! The easiest way to make Spezi for your own😉 Or if you feel really emperimental try a mixture of a third each of Coke, Fanta and European Sprite... 😉
Doesn't work. The corn syrup of the US coke is just too dominant. You would also need European coke which is made with cane sugar.
Another UA-camr recently checked, that even US Coke and European Coke do not taste the same !
*german* coke (with beet sugar) and *german* fanta orange (with beet sugar, 3% real juice, and natural color) ... or *maybe mexican* (with cane sugar) ...
but *_not_* american coke (with HFCS) and *_not_* american fanta (with HFCS, no juice at all, and carcinogenic neon colorant)
ps: yes, many breweries also produce at least one kind of "soda" to be able to offer something to the whole family including children *_(below 16 :-)_*
the *original* Spezi is produced by other breweries. Paulaner once got a lifetime license to use the name "Spezi", but have to use a slightly different recipe.
americans buy cans of 12 floz (355 ml) while european cans usually are 1/2 liter (500 ml, 16.9 floz) or 1/3 liter (rounded 330 ml, 11.2 floz)
Mix US coke and fanta, you get starsky.
It would have to be German Coke mixed with German Fanta. Doesn’t work with the US stuff. I have tried it myself, and as a UA-cam reference, Hayley Alexis has tried it too.
Just love your excitement for it!
5:00 Monkey brain goes: Huh??
Spezi in colloquial German (especially in Bavaria) means good friend, pal, or chum. Originally "Spezial-Freund".
Paulaner Spezi is available in America its called Paulaner Sunset
I don't know if anyone told you yet but there is also Paulaner Sunset which is the American Licenced version of Paulaner Spezi. I believe fans of the Spezi wanted to sell this in the US 2 and reached out to Paulaner and now it's officially licensed and sold in the US 2.
1:30 its the same
Spezi is oftentimes consumed in hot months, June - August (September even this year), at least i see a lot of people getting Spezi with Ice cubes. It IS really refreshing, consuming it Ice cold while eating something meaty. So the real joy of it is in warm months. ALSO, because of the sugar, for people who have a record having a small circulatory collapse, it is perfect (if cold: small sips, drinking it slowly).
Heyho, greetings from Germany. Honestly. In germany spezi, or mezzo mix from the coca cola company or schwipp schwapp for pepsi show it very well. In germany those Mix Drinks, Orange and Cola, is kinda famouse. Many drink it. Some only like coke or fanta. But many like it over here. I drink mostly Mezzo Mix. It's my fav Soda even. Next to Uludag. A Turkey Limo, that is famouse over here and often drank with a Döner Kebab.
As a fellow German and Uludag enjoyer I still don't understand the cola + orangeade craze~
Cola + lemonade (E.G. Coke + Sprite) or directly Vita Cola tastes a million times better!
Fun Fact: "SPEZI" means in Bavarian dialect "Friend,Bro"
In my childhood, we didn't call this Spezi😊 we called it "Kalter Kaffee"😅 (cold koffee), because it's looked like😂
thats a regional specific name. I heard it from people from bawü ^(i think?) as an anecdote when they tried to order it anywhere else and got actually cold coffe. but everywhere I lived it as always been "spezi"
I know it also in Berlin and NRW as Kalter Kaffee in my youth
@@Miristzuheiss I live in Berlin for 20 yrs now and never heard it here, but I guess you can switch to another part of town and everything is called different, so I don't say its impossible.
But I'm from NDS originally and spend time in the north in general, in Bavaria and also in NRW and at least where I was it was never Kalter Kaffee (at least not from natives of that area).
So I still stand by my original statement. Maybe a few more regions than I thought, but "Kalter Kaffee" is definitely not the general normal German name for it.
@@ThePixelSchubse Im Saarland und in Rheinland-Pfalz kennt man es ebenfalls als Kalter Kaffee.

@@tubekulose Yes , ich spreche german mit berliner Slan und ich weiß, dass german für einen Amerikaner sehr schwer ist .
Aberrrrrr, ich liebe es , wenn ich einen Amerikaner zuhören darf , wenn er german spricht.
For anyone interested, some hints for pronouncing some of German's more tricky letters/letter combinations:
- ä like a in English 'at'
- ß like english 'ss' like in 'miss'. It is a sharp 's', the letter is originally a ligature of s and z, hence its name eszett (es-zed) in German.
- ie like 'ee' in 'meet'
- ei like "i" in in english 'find'
- au like 'ou' in english 'ouch'
- eu/äu like 'oi' in english 'moist'
- sch like english 'sh'
ö, ch, and ü are trickier because english does not really have these sounds.
As for ü and ö -
if you know french, they are equivalent to french 'u' ('tu') and 'eu' ('peu') respectively, somewhat similar to sounds between u and e / o and e.
ch actually has two associated sounds, one being like a raspy 'h', and the other being a little like 'sh', but further back in the mouth.
for your information one of the better self made currywurst sauces are made with cola and orange juice xD

The Original Spezi is from Augsburg and is much better than the Paulaner.
The recipes on Wiki show that you can't taste the difference. It's all in your head. And certainly not in the blind test.
Die Rezepturen bei Wiki ergeben, daß man den Unterschied nicht schmeckt. Alles Einbildung. Und im Blindtest erst recht nicht.
Debatable the taste i mean
Oh No
Paulaner Spezi is the best Spezi of all Time 😋
Here in Europe and preferably in Germany people also like to mix Coke with Beer. It's called a "Diesel" like the fuel type that you pump at the gas station, because of its golden brown-ish color. And in some supermarkets you can also find Coke brands mixed with Vodka or Whiskey. Needless to say, the Cola flavor as a base usually goes well with many fruity flavors, such as Lemon and Orange blending best ofcourse. It's the same effect when drinking Black and Lemon tea together, both hot and ice tea. I also highly recommend it. The "Mezzo Mix" (Fanta Cola) is also another popular mixed soda drink. Last but not least, personally I also like the Cherry Coke, but it's not sold that often anymore and has become very rare.
You can mix Coke with Fanta (Orange Soda) to create Spezi 😅 And it's so weird to me that you don't know Coke with Orange Soda, like it's so simple. 😅
And when you mix it yourself you can decide if you want to have more Coke or more Orange Soda.
probably no american got the idea to mix coke with neon bright fanta and then also have lots of HFCS ...
german Coke has 10-11 g (beet) sugar per 100 ml, and german Fanta below 8g
ps: yes, mixing it yourself is best, being able to adjust the ratio from almost pure Coke to almost pure Fanta, and I also use Fanta Lemon instead of Fanta Orange.
It's as ridiculous as Cola/Orangeade Fans being blind to Cola/Lemonade!
Coke and Sprite tastes a million times better than Coke and Fanta.
Spezi is an Bavarian word and means : Friend
Spezi(Bav) = Freund(Ger)= friend(Eng)
he listenes to paulaner and still isnt able to pronounce teh simple "a" and still says "e" xD
In my country you can order a coke with fresh lemon juice in restaurants.
Or you mix coke and fanta 50/50 at home.
Have you heard of 'Radler', Ryan?
It's mixing beer with lemon/orange soda.
You can also buy it in stores already mixed.
I like Coke with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a lemon wedge in it. Same with lime. It seems to make it more refreshing.
Spezi (s̶p̶e̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ pronounced sh-b-e-zi with a "e" like in pet, the "zi" is actually spelled like the WWII "zi" ;-) ) is a bavarian shortcut for buddy (like "special friend").
Not really I'd argue that the special friend is "Spezl" with L at the end
Both possible, depends on the region within Bavaria.
its also used in austria an other southern german tongues like in rhineland-palatinate as word for friend/homie. but in palatinate, we call the drink 'kalter Kaffee', so we dont get to confused i guess! :-D

@@berlindude75 Of course, thank you! Can't believe I didn't notice that by myself.
Watching this while cracking open a Spezi,cheers! Its the best
We have a word for all of this stuff in Germany: "Plörre" (~muddy dishwater] or even "Zuckerplörre" :)
And only Germans who don't know what's good use it :-)
Since Christmas season is starting here in Germany with all the Christmas markets opening up, I'd like to make the suggestion of checking out Bergparade which are mininer's parades that are a huge part of Christmas traditions especially in Saxony (especially in the Erzgebirge - Ore Mountains).
"Adventszauber 2023 - Bergparaden und Lichterglanz im Erzgebirge" is a long TV program about it with decent English subtitles. And "#22 Steigerlied auf den Bergparaden" is a nice mix if the most well known song connected to these parades.
You can also say the Spezi uses real sugar and the american coke uses high fructose corn syrup
Since when corn syrip is unreal sugar? wtf .. it's both glucose, both normal sugar. "But our sugar is superior to the us sugar!!!!! we are better!!!!!"
Drink bottles and cans are metric in continental Europe, their volume are fractions of 1 liter. (0.2l = 1/5l, 0.25l = 1/4 l, 330ml = 0.33l ~ 1/3 l, 0.5l = 1/2 l and so on)
Only british and irish cans are the exception, because they still use pint (0.568l) as the default beer size instead of 0.5l.
Our austrian friend introduced me to Spezi 30 years ago: she mixed 50% coca cola with 50% fanta orange.
Never drink Paulaner! Always Flötzinger!
It's a more local Spezi in Bavaria.
Was redest du ich kenn in bayern kein einzigen der Flözinger oder Rigele trinkt
@ jede person die ich kenne sagt Flotzinger ist besser als Paulaner
Spezi is rather a regional brand than a Soda. There are different vendors selling companies selling mixtures of Coke with Fanta, Sprite or Lemonade under different names.
I think it started many many years ago with some people ordering mixtures of Coke + Fanta, or Coke + Beer or Fanta + Beer in bars, where the barkeeper just mixed both together.
I am glad that Ryan found the drinking glasses in his home. Finally. 😄
A little history on the subject of Spezi: The "Spezi" brand was registered in 1956 by the Riegele brewery in Augsburg. In 1977, it founded the 'Spezi Markengetränke Verband' with partners, in which small breweries could buy a licence to produce Spezi for their region. The Munich brewery group Paulaner made a one-off payment of DM 10,000 in 1974, before the association was founded, to conclude a contractual agreement with the Riegele brewery from Augsburg regarding the bottling and use of the name. After unsuccessful talks to renegotiate a licence agreement, the Riegele brewery terminated the contractual agreement in 2021. In its judgement of 11 October 2022, the Regional Court of Munich I ruled that the contractual agreement between two breweries on the right to use the name Paulaner Spezi from 1974 continues to exist. This means that the Paulaner brewery may continue to use the name Paulaner Spezi. This is the reason why there are currently two companies in Germany that are authorised to use the name 'Spezi': 'Spezi Original' and 'Paulaner Spezi'. In my opinion, 'Paulaner Spezi' clearly tastes better.😊
Why is he more interrested in the can than in the Spezi?😆😅
In Germany it is not about whether Spezi, but which brand has the real/best
Is there other stuff also missing in America?

Every time you shake that Spezi-Can I am dying inside.
Im astonished at how many people here in the comment spread fake information as „Spezi is just Coke and Orange Soda“ WRONG. It’s an entirely different drink that’s so hard to copy no other brand other than licensed Spezi manufacturers can replicate it
thank you!😊
Paulaner Sepzi is actually expanding into the US (California so far) under the brand name "Paulaner Sunset"
