In Germany, Fanta Ad that "Forgets Evil Nazi Past" is Pulled
The Coca-Cola Company pulled a German television ad for the orange soft drink Fanta following complaints that the commercial referred to the 1940s,
when the beverage was invented following an international trade embargo on the National Socialist Germany, as the good old times. The ad celebrates Fanta’s 75th anniversary, but conveniently makes no mention of the role NS Germany played in the bubbly drink’s initial creation. According to the ad, German bottling plants were forced to create new formulas during the 1940s since ingredients needed to make regular Coke were scarce at the time.
