Fanta is a world famous fruit-flavored carbonated 碳酸 soft drink 汽水. Today, there are more than 100 flavors 口味 all over the world. However, few know that the birth of this tasty drink is associated with 與⋯⋯有關 Nazi Germany 德國納粹.
During WWII 世界地二次大戰, there was a trading ban 貿易禁令 between the United States and Germany, which meant the Coca-Cola syrup 糖漿 was not allowed to be imported 進口 to the manufacturer 製造商 in Germany. Max Keith, the head of the German Coca-Cola company, decided to develop a new soft drink in place of 代替 Coke, using ingredients 原料 available in the country at that time. He used apple fiber 蘋果纖維, leftover 殘渣 from cider pressing 壓榨蘋果酒, and whey 乳清, a byproduct 副產品 from cheese making, to develop a yellow-colored drink. Keith asked his employees to use their “Fantasie”(the German word for imagination 想像力) and create an impressive 令人印象深刻的 name for this new product. On hearing this, one of the employees Joe Knipp immediately 馬上 came up with the name Fanta. Little did Keith and Knipp know that the mixture of leftovers would soon become popular and someday 日後 even take the world by storm 如風暴般席捲世界. Throughout the war, the flavor of Fanta varied 多變的 depending on what ingredients were available. Despite 儘管 the severe devastation 嚴重破壞 in Germany during the war, the company maintained stable profits 收益, with an annual 每年 production of sixty million 百萬 bottles.
After the war, Fanta was introduced to the United States. Today, Fanta is available in 188 countries. Of the 100 flavors, Fanta Orange is the most popular one. Some flavors are available in some countries only. For example, in Japan there is Japanese Peach Fanta, and in Hong Kong there is Sour 酸 Green Apple Fanta. In Germany, elderflower 接骨木 is used to produce Fanta. Fanta never stops renewing 更新 itself, either by creating new flavors, bottles or 不是⋯⋯就是 with captivating 迷人的 advertising campaigns 廣告活動.

soft drink就是汽水
翻成碳酸軟飲料真的好怪
最佳解的cider pressing的cider應該要翻成蘋果汁
因為本文都是講芬達汽水的由來,
如果cider pressing翻成濃縮蘋果酒會很怪
濃縮蘋果酒做成汽水我是沒喝過就是了XD
