Fanta and Coca-Cola soft drinks

The image shows stacked cases of Fanta Orange, Fanta Exotic, and Coca-Cola. Fanta was originally created in Germany in 1940 by the German branch of Coca-Cola due to trade embargos during World War II preventing the importation of Coca-Cola syrup. It has since become a global brand under The Coca-Cola Company. Coca-Cola itself was invented in the United States in 1886.

Both brands are manufactured globally through a network of local bottling partners. In Denmark, these products are typically produced and distributed by Carlsberg through a licensing agreement. The ultimate owner remains The Coca-Cola Company, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. This owner is a massive multinational corporation that manages hundreds of beverage brands worldwide across various categories including soft drinks, water, and juices.
