Fanta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fanta
Type	Soft drink
Manufacturer	The Coca-Cola Company
Country of Origin	Germany
Introduced	1940

Fanta is a brand of fruit-flavored soft drink from the Coca-Cola Company, introduced for the first time in Germany in 1940.

Fanta was devised during World War II in Nazi Germany by the German Coca Cola (GmbH) bottling company. Due to restrictions on shipping between Nazi Germany and the United States during hostilities, the German bottling plant could no longer get Coca Cola syrup. The CEO of the plant, Max Keith, needed to do something to keep the plant in operation and came up with a fruit flavored drink made from whatever he could find. Using apple fiber left over from cider presses and whey, a byproduct from cheese manufacture, Fanta was created and became quite popular. The original German Fanta had a yellow color and a different flavor from that of Fanta Orange; the exact flavor varied throughout the war, depending on the availability of ingredients.

The name 'Fanta' came during an employee contest to name the new beverage. Keith told them to let their Fantasie (German for imagination) run wild. On hearing that, salesman Joe Knipp spontaneously arrived upon the name Fanta.

After World War II, Fanta was introduced to the United States by Coca-Cola, and in 1960 they bought the trademark. Fanta Orange is the most popular Fanta flavor, available in 180 countries. In terms of volume, Brazil is the largest consumer of Fanta in the world. Fanta remains more popular in Europe and South America than in the United States.

There are over 70 flavors world-wide; however, most of them are only available by region in some countries. For example, in Romania (and some other countries), there is "Fanta Shokata" based on the traditional Romanian drink "Socată" made from elderflower. In Switzerland and previously the Netherlands the local fruit, blackcurrant is used to produce Fanta as well. Some identical flavors have different names in different markets. The classic orange, for example, was rebranded "Fanta Funky Orange" in 2003 for the Nordic countries and Belgium, while other countries retain the older "Fanta Orange" brand. As of the year 2005, the Fanta brand has been connected with the word Bambaacha (or Bamboocha), which is often seen in the Fanta commercials. TaB diet Cola was originally produced by the Fanta division of Coca-cola and was, at one time, available in a variety of non-cola flavors as well. Later in 2005, Fanta branched out into new Fanta zero varieties in Great Britain.

[edit] Ingredients

The composition of Fanta, for the same flavour, varies from country to country. For example, the European Fanta Orange has orange juice (in variable percentages), whereas the US formulation does not ^[1]. The Australian as well as South American formulations also have orange juice. ^[2]

Spanish Fanta Orange formulation: ^[3]

• Carbonated water, sugar, 8% orange juice from concentrate, acidity regulator E-330 (citric acid), aromas, preserver E-211 (sodium benzoate), stabilizers E-414 (gum arabic), E-412 (guar gum) and E-445, antioxidant E-300 (ascorbic acid) and food colouring E-160a.

United States Fanta Orange formulation:

• Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose, citric acid, sodium benzoate, modified food starch, natural and artificial flavors, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, sodium polyphosphates, coconut oil, yellow 6, brominated vegetable oil, ascorbic acid, red 40, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.

The combination of sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in some soft drinks may potentially lead to the formation of benzene. Benzene is a known carcinogen. However, Fanta has not been shown to contain benzene above the limits set by the EPA for drinking water. ^[4]

[edit] Advertising

In 2001, The Coca-Cola Company began folding what had been known as Minute Maid soft drinks (introduced in 1987 in the United States) and began an aggressive advertising campaign to expand the market for Fanta (which had been available in the United States since 1960), especially among younger consumers. Their campaign features The Fantanas, a fictional girl group whose tagline is Don't You Wanta Fanta? The Fantanas (and their flavors) are Kiki (orange), Sophia (grape), Capri (strawberry), and Lola (pineapple). (The Fantanas were parodied several times on the US show, "MADtv", during their 10th season, with former cast member Paul Vogt portraying yet another member of the group: a fat, leering, sexually provocative, food-obsessed young woman with what could be called an "all-purpose", generic Latin accent.) Along with traditional television and print advertisements, Fanta has been aggressively marketed in movies targeted at teenage audiences.

Circa 2004 the Fanta website allowed people to produce their own films, based on their televised advert. The advert featured people in a foreign country, with comic subtitles for their language. The Fanta Shockata website let people do similar with a variety of video clips. This became a huge attraction to the site, and has since become a well remembered and celebrated part of the Community of Myth's historic culture - the only time Fanta itself has become part of an internet meme.

In the United States, commercials for Fanta come with the tag line, "Wanna Fanta, don't you wanta?" It was eventually changed to "Wanna Fanta, Fanta Fever!" when the Fanta Fever drink was introduced.

[edit] Australia

When Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA), the local Coca-Cola bottler for Australia were branching out their Fanta brand to increase flavours, they looked at their own Kirks brand and adapted the flavours for some of their popular drinks, using them in the Fanta flavours and changing the flavouring in the Kirks products such as Creaming Soda and Pasito.

In early 2006 the Fanta brand in Australia was revised to focus solely on the growing market for Orange flavoured softdrink. As a result, non-orange fanta products were discontinued and as such the current fanta range available in Australia is:

• Orange
• Orange & Mango
• Orange & Passionfruit
• Fanta Zero Orange (diet)

CCA in 2007 have started to repush their Kirks branded softdrinks, claiming to be of a "Classic" taste that you would remember as a kid, speculating that CCA have returned the previous flavours to the Kirks brand and signaling a non-return to flavoured Fanta.

Fanta is also available as a Raspberry flavour in Post-Mix drink fountains, as well as Frozen Coke branded Raspberry aswell.

Previous flavours include:

• Watermelon

Raspberry Schweppes instead of Raspberry Fanta continues to be sold at post-mix soda fountains.
