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 😬
no you don’t 😜
people who use LLMs as search engine make me go 😨

It’s a reference to this quote:
“John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” ― Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress (source)
Edit: apparently the original John Steinbeck quote was:
“I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist.”
Is that an HBomberGuy reference? 👀
I managed to forget about Kofola until now 🤢 I visited Slovakia as a kid, wanted Coca-Cola, they gave me Kofola and it tasted horrible 😅 (probably didn’t help that I was expecting a coca-cola flavour)
