    Hungary has Traubi soda which is made of grape juice.

    In Soviet times we also had the Bambi (yes, like the deer) soft drinks in various fruit flavours, which also had a characteristic tar flavour, that (as I just learnt), contrary to popular belief wasn’t because tar was one of the ingredients, but because they used expired orange oil. When the drink was reintroduced in recent times, some older customers said they missed that nostalgic tar flavour O.o (+ Bonus racist vintage ad poster from the '40s-'50s in that article.)


    In my new home in Scotland we have Irn Bru, which has a strong metallic tutti-frutti flavour which I personally hate, but the locals love it 😬
