Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When and where did Fanta originate?

Answer: Nazi Germany, 1940

The Fanta soft drink popular all over the world was introduced in Germany in 1940 when the Coca-Cola bottling plant there was closed down during World War II due to a halt in commerce between the U.S. and Germany. With no more access to Coca-Cola syrup, they had to look for other sources of sweeteners and in so doing they invented Fanta.

2. What was the original Fanta soda pop flavored with to sweeten it?

Answer: Apple fibers and whey

Max Keith was the CEO of that German Coca-Cola plant in Germany when it was shut down. He was the one who spearheaded attempts to create a new fruit flavored drink but it meant finding new kinds of sweeteners. They wound up using scraps of apple in cider presses along with whey. Fanta was created. The sugar content was very high with this new recipe, but it became very popular.

3. How did the name "Fanta" come to be?

Answer: German for "imagination"

The name 'Fanta' was born during a contest amongst the company's employees to come up with a name for the new beverage. CEO Max Keith, told everyone to let their "Fantasie" guide them. "Fantasie" is German for imagination. Upon hearing that, salesman Joe Knipp simply called out the name Fanta.

4. When was Fanta introduced to the United States?

Answer: 1960

Coca-Cola bought the Fanta trademark when it was introduced in the U.S. in 1960. Of all the plethora of flavors available in over 180 countries under the Fanta banner, Fanta Orange is the most popular.

5. Fanta is sold in over 100 countries in over 90 flavors! Amazing! In Romania for instance there is Fanta Shokata. What flavor is Fanta Shokata?

Answer: Elderberry

Fanta Shokata is a flavor of Fanta in Romania, based on a traditional drink there called Socată. Fanta Shokata is flavored after an elderflower drink.

6. Which diet soda was originally produced by the Fanta division of the Coca-Cola company?

Answer: Tab

I can only remember the cola flavored Tab diet soda when I was growing up but there were actually several different flavors when it was originally produced by Fanta. There was also Black Cherry, Ginger Ale, Lemon-Lime, Orange, Root Beer, and Strawberry.

In 2005, Fanta in Great Britain branched out, introducing several diet versions. In 2015, 2019, and again in 2020 they launched more new diet flavors.

7. In Switzerland, blackcurrant is used to produce Fanta as well. The Netherlands had also used blackcurrant as it is a local fruit there. What is this blackcurrant Fanta soda flavor called?

Answer: Cassis

Cassis is the French word for blackcurrant, also commonly known as 'blackcurrant from Burgundy". The cassis berry is often used in jams. Some countries call their black currant flavored Fanta soda 'blackcurrant' (one word) but some countries break it up into two words: 'black currant'. And many countries call it 'cassis'.

Answer: Venezuela

Hit was introduced more than 40 years ago in Venezuela. The other countries listed as choices were formed less than 40 years ago. It had the same formula as Fanta and similar brand logo and bottle design. In Venezuela, Hit comes in these flavors: Orange, Grape. Green Apple, Pineapple, and Kolita. Kolita is a flavor similar to cream soda.

Answer: Australia and New Zealand

Spider Chocolate and Spider Strawberry were limited edition flavors in Australia, and Spider Chocolate Orange took the very unusual extra step in soft drink conception by combining soda and a dairy component to create something similar to an ice cream soda, or egg cream perhaps as we in the U.S. might call it.

But this flavor was a limited-edition for Halloween. Australia's famed Hungry Jack's food franchise sold them.

10. After Germany discontinued Fanta production during the war, it took until 1955 for Coca-Cola to relaunch Fanta. Where was the orange Fanta drink made for the first time back in 1955?

Answer: Italy

During those war years when Germany couldn't produce soda, the plant was handed over to the Dutch Coca-Cola plant. The Netherlands however had a different recipe than Germany's. They used elderberries a main ingredients. But when rival soda company Pepsi-Cola introduced their own line of soft drinks during the 1950s, Coca-Cola decided to reincarnate Fanta in 1955.

It was produced for the first time then in Naples, Italy.
