I really miss fritz kola from when I was visiting Germany. Seriously a lot better than either pepsi or coke. Haven't found a reseller here in Sweden, but hopefully one day!

Sanpellegrino is Nestlé
San Pellegrino is still made in Italy, and Nestlé is headquartered in Switzerland so...
they also operate in russia
Yeah, if that's your criterion now, your "Buy European" selection is about to become a whole lot narrower.
I'm always surprised how much fritz-kola has replaced coca-cola in bars and clubs in Hamburg.
Well, they are from Hamburg (and apparently also are very aggressive (and it always fair) in their expension politics).
Wish I had an AH close to me, wanna try fritz cola again. Do they actually have big bottles? Might just drive to one if thats the case
That sanpellegrino clementina is the superior person’s fanta. It’s the sweetness of fanta with the tartness of orangina. Absolutely love it.
+1 for Fritz cola for not jumping on the cost-cutting bandwagon of substituting sugar with artificial sweeteners. (Others claim they don’t taste the difference, but I can immediately tell if there’s stevia or aspartame in a drink. It’s in the aftertaste, which becomes bitter and sticky.)
oh knock it off with the sugar elitism, imagine simping for diabetes
You’re one of the many who can’t taste the difference. I’m happy for you. It’s a genetic thing. Artificial sweeteners bind to bitter receptors in some people, including me.
The good news is my own soda consumption is nearly down to zero because of it. On the rare occasion that I drink anything sugary, I do indeed prefer the full-sugar version.
Also, it’s not about health, the artificial sweeteners. Sugar has become increasingly expensive to the point where substituting it is just a way to bring down production costs. If you want zero sugar, by all means. Wish I could partake. But don’t mix aspartame into everything
Imagine being uncultured and promoting a cult of ignorance. You must be American I gather.
