  A nostalgic video for sure. The times, when Ian were ripping off the caps.

  My girlfriend tested a soda that contained corn syrup. She felt bad in her stomach for days.<br>We live in Sweden.

  Come to think of it, the syrup % explains why US Americans keep complaining about the lack of ice in European fast food joint sodas… You literally need the ice - and lots of it - to battle the syrup consistency of your „sodas“, and expect European sodas to also be so syrupy…

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syCllRdhRjc&amp;t=1161">19:21</a> Fanta Shokata was actually inspired by traditional European elderflower juice. It&apos;s funny how the drink itself is white, yet they put it in a blue bottle. By the way, the name &quot;Shokata&quot; comes from the Romanian word socată.<br><br>Where I&apos;m from, we traditionally make elderflower syrup that you dilute with water, and when it&apos;s ice-cold, it tastes even better than beer! 😄🍻

  I know that by now you have come to appreciate the attached bottle caps - but it still irks me to see you twist them off in this older video LOL

  It&apos;s always great to revisit these episodes but what makes this more than a compilation series is the added commentary and BTS content. Thanks Ian.

  On another channel, a Texan was trying European drinks.<br>He didn&apos;t like any of them, read the ingredients and said &quot;Yuk! Just put sugar in them&quot;<br>How very American.<br>Although he is the same person, who says English people speak &quot;British&quot;😂<br>So we&apos;ll ignore his comments.

  I remember watching Ian&apos;s Fanta original taste the difference. Nostalgic throwback.

  I&apos;m Dutch and my best youth friend moved to the States in 1984. He has worked his entire life in the flavour and detergent industry with a shitload of patents on his name. &nbsp;He often told me that in the past 30 years, there was a continuous movement to use cheaper and cheaper ingredients. A product sold 30 years ago will be very different to a contemporary product. The biggest gripe however was that producers stopped testing the harmfulness of all the chemical components, especiall their combinations.<br><br>European Fanta Orange (UK/EU)<br>Sugar (Beet/Cane) and/or sweeteners (Acesulfame-K)<br>3% to 10% Orange juice from concentrate<br>Natural: Carotenes or plant extracts (carrot/pumpkin)<br>Natural orange flavorings<br>Cloudy, pale, matte orange<br><br><br>US Fanta Orange<br>High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)<br>0% Juice (strictly flavored water)<br>Artificial: Yellow 6 &amp; Red 40<br>Artificial and &quot;Natural&quot; flavors<br>Bright, neon, transparent orange
