Frequently asked questions

Q: Why is the country of origin given in the infobox as "Germany" rather than "Nazi Germany"?

A: It's not usual to specify the type of governance of a country in an infox under these circumstances. Thus, "Portugal" is used rather than "Portuguese Republic" or "Kingdom of Portugal" and so forth. The governance information is in the body of the article. Also, flags are not used in these circumstances. Several discussions have not resulted in consensus to override this for this article. See here, here, here, here, here, here, and here for relevant discussions mostly regarding the country-of-origin field, and here, here, and here for relevant discussions mostly regarding the use of the flag.

Fanta Sours

Someone forgot to add Fanta Sours. I added it to Australia since I live here and I've had it before. Don't know about USA or other places. -Food'N'Games — Preceding undated comment added 18:50, 13 May 2005

Countries with Fanta

I added South Africa, since it wasn't on the list. The flavours are identical to South Korea, curiously enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManicParroT (talk • contribs) 14:14, 9 March 2006

Fanta is also in Nigeria —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.156.1.223 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 26 April 2006

Fanta Light (UK)

I notice "previously known as". Fanta Light was completely replaced with a new drink (Fanta Z) due to Light being a complete disaster. (I'll vouch for that, it tasted horrible).

Fanta Z was introduced with a bizzare advert campaign involving people spitting out Fanta Light due to it tasting so bad http://www.ephinx.com/tvadverts/34/fanta-z-goodbye-fanta-light-advert.html

therefore fanta light is a discontinued drink. not just the old name for fanta z

Fantasie

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is claimed in the article that "The name was the result of a brainstorming session, which started with Keith's exhorting his team to "use their imagination" (Fantasie in German), to which one of his salesmen, Joe Knipp, retorted "Fanta!"" However, isn't this an anachronism? Wasn't the spelling "Fantasie" only introduced with the spelling reform in 1996? I'm not an expert, but I believe that pre-1996, the correct spelling was "Phantasie". The story still makes sense, but it should be mentioned that "Fanta" derives from "Phantasie" (modern spelling: "Fantasie"). ~2026-44628-10 (talk) 22:21, 14 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
