Soda presumably everyone will not be strangers, now a few dollars a bottle of soda, everyone can afford to drink, and there are quite a lot of soda varieties on the market, what Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Fanta, almost all kinds, but Coca-Cola, Fanta, and World War II is a source.
Coca-Cola is an accidental invention of Dr. John Pemberton in George, USA in 1885, when the United States issued a prohibition order, so Pemberton invented a dark syrup to replace the wine, after he mixed the syrup and ice cubes, and accidentally added soda, he tasted, felt very exciting, the first Coca-Cola was born.
However, Pemberton's son sold the patent to Coca-Cola for $2.5 million, and 40 years later, Coca-Cola was not only popular throughout the country, but also exported overseas, and in 1929, Asia ushered in the first Coca-Cola, and the Asian market was occupied by Coca-Cola.
Germany as a country that likes sweets, they have become loyal fans of Coca-Cola, the United States Coke Corporation is also investing in the construction of factories, at that time in order to open more sales in Germany, the United States used Hitler to publicize it, Hitler came to power when the slogan was "one nation, one empire, one fuehrer".
The slogan of German Coca-Cola is: "One nation, one empire, one cola" Even the bottle opener was made into the symbol of the German party, Hitler in order to promote his own image, did not prohibit them from producing, Coca-Cola and Hitler developed together in Germany.
But Coca-Cola had a short lifespan in Germany, only a few years, because of the outbreak of World War II, the American Coca-Cola Company, in response to the call of General Eisenweill in World War II, guaranteed that every soldier could get a bottle of Coca-Cola for 5 cents anywhere, regardless of its cost, and withdrew from its branch in Germany.
This measure greatly increased the Coca-Cola market, it divided nearly 70% of the market, the German Coke factory was abandoned, but still left some equipment, the Germans used these equipment to operate again, but due to the shortage of materials and syrup, they could not make the exact same Coke.
So the Germans planned to use the rest of the material to make an apple-flavored soda, and named Fanta, at that time the German economy was limited, the manufacture of Fanta is made of apple pomace, drink apple flavor is strong, but the taste is not bad, Fanta began to replace Coke, became the Germans' favorite drink.
After the end of World War II, the German economy was damaged again, in order to restore the economy, Germany will be Fanta out of the country, with Coke to compete for the market, in 1954, the Coke market for the first time into crisis, the novel Fanta began to divide the market, but the next year cola company modified the bottle, the profit market recovered.
However, according to german thinking, if Hitler had won the war, the Coke that had been used as his signature would probably not have been produced, and Fanta's apple flavor would have replaced Coca-Cola.
