a peach Jolly Rodger.
In other words, too damn sweet.
PSA: Fanta was created to give the Nazi Germany a soft drink since the German Coca Cola was cutoff from distribution (getting ingredients to make Coca Cola) during WWII.

Uh, that article says it's essentially true. The German Coke bottlers invented and bottled Fanta because they couldn't get Coke ingredients.
What's a Jolly Rodger? I only know of Jolly Rancher.

What the hell is a Jolly Rodger? Is there a Jolly Rachel and a Jolly Rodney too? :hmm:
I got a bottle of Irn Bru a couple weeks ago. Been eying it for years, but didn't bite due to the high price, and electric orange color. Tastes like orange cream. It's ok, but it's weird "national drink"(Scotland).

Fanta originated as a result of difficulties importing Coca-Cola syrup into Nazi Germany during World War II due to a trade embargo. To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH) during the Second World War, decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including whey and apple pomace the "leftovers of leftovers", as Keith later recalled.
this is a jolly rodger, eating a jolly rancher:
