After World War II, Fanta was introduced to the United States by Coca-Cola, and in 1960 they bought the trademark.

Ingredients
The composition of Fanta, for the same flavor, varies from country to country. For example, the European Fanta Orange has orange juice (in variable percentages), whereas the US formulation does not [1]. The Australian version contains 5% fruit juice, and South American formulations also have orange juice, especially in Brazil, where it contains 10% of orange juice. These differences mean the taste of Fanta differs greatly from country to country, more so than regular Coca Cola, and may in part explain why the drink's popularity varies so much between different countries. Difference in coloring can be observed internationally, for example German Fanta Orange is yellow, in Latin American markets, deep orange coloring is used.
