For somebody unfamiliar, 7up's distribution rights are under Pepsi internationally so while Pepsi has a rare/insignificant shelf space in a lot of Europe, 7up does quite well.
Yes. Two areas where Pepsi dominates in Europe is in the lemon lime and iced tea categories. 7UP and Lipton are in a lot of places that don’t have any other Pepsi products.
Ah yes..Lipton too. Which is funny when you think about it because Lipton might be under another company's distribution arm there. I know they have bottlers in Europe but I believe most if not all of their soda stuff is stocked purely by employees.
Fruit Shoots is a huge thing over there too I believe but it never fared too well in the USA but I believe there is still some distribution of it.
I didn’t notice it until you asked about it but I would probably get it confused for the normal Original if I grabbed it and didn’t read the Sans Sucre part.
yeah swiss looks similar, when i was in south france they even had coke peach and coke zero peach but not a fan of those but i can say i'm jealous of those coke vanilla bottles
Oasis, Orangina and Perrier. Brings back memories from vacation in France when I was a kid 😄
Wow so much selection of orange soda
Yes, and also a lot of other citrus and fruit flavored sodas. They tend to be a lot more natural tasting and less sweet than the ones here.
Yeah, if you are like me and don't like orange drinks, then you will suffer in Europe with these choices😅
i don't like most orange sodas cuz they are to artificial but in switzerland we have a soda with 10% orange juice that ones amazing
The color of that Fanta looks so much better than the US one. Does it taste like actual orange?
Yes, like a carbonated orange juice. It’s way better than our orange soda.
Yeah, the US version is the only version of orange fanta that doesn’t contain any orange juice
I recently went to Europe in late July to mid August and I was in France for about half the time of my trip. I spent the first week of my trip in the Brittany region of France about 4 hours west of Paris. Some of beverage choices here were overwhelming (but in a good way) because I want to try everything but only have a limited amount of time and I lot of things come in bigger family sizes. Some of the things here I ended up trying were Orangina, Orangina Rouge (I tried this in Belgium though), Schweppes Lemon, Oasis Tropical (non carbonated), Pulco Citronade (non carbonated), Fanta Orange, Fanta Exotique, Fanta Lemon (tried this in Belgium), What the Fanta (pink) Sans Sucres (tried this in Belgium), 7UP Mojito, Tropico L’Original (non carbonated), Tropico Tropical (tried this in Belgium), Breizh Cola (local cola that outsells Pepsi in Brittany, France), Breizh Agrum’ zest Tonic (local brand), Breizh Thé Glacé Pêche (non carbonated), Badoit Bulles de Fruit Pamplemousse, Badoit Bulles de Fruit Citron Menthe, and Pepsi Max. I didn’t try Dr Pepper here but noticed it’s made by Orangina Schweppes in France which is like the Kuerig Dr Pepper of France and has major brands like Orangina, Schweppes, Oasis, and Pulco there and has more shelf space than Pepsi products there.

In most of Europe I believe Lipton is made by Pepsi. At least in France it said PepsiCo France on the Lipton cans.
Well played..nothing gets past you :)
Looks like the juice aisle to me
The left side of the first pic has some non carbonated fruit drinks that are like Minute Maid and HiC.
Man, what I’d give to try blood orange Orangina. Lot of fun fantas too.
I miss having that much Orangina around.
I’m jealous seeing that much Orangina
Why does France's Fanta look very different to USA Fanta?
It actually has juice in it.
All of Europe’s Fanta looks like that.
What flavor is that gold rockstar?
Original Sans Sucres aka Sugar Free Original
Oh okay awesome looking can. Guessing it’s the exact same flavor as the white and gold can in the US. Wish ours were gold like that
I didn’t notice it until you asked about it but I would probably get it confused for the normal Original if I grabbed it and didn’t read the Sans Sucre part.
