Went to a drink store (Getränke Markt) in Aachen, Germany today. To my surprise I saw that all local soda brands were almost sold out(Fritz, Afri, Sinalco) and Coca Cola was almost not touched. I was very pleasantly impressed by this. Seems like more people are joining with the small consumer choices to buy from EU rather than US. Do more people notice this elsewhere?

In Denmark has a local brand, Jolly Cola, more than doubled its sales in a few weeks. They say that they are approved by a number of both former and new customers. So at least something is happening. I sincerely hope it will last!
Would have loved to see that. Here at my local supermarket REWE in north Germany, I noticed a slightly similar thing, which made me really happy. Went to the beverages section, and noticed that almost all of Fritz Cola and Sinalco was gone. It was beautiful hahaha :-D Unfortunately, the next row, I still could see that also quite much Coca Cola, Mezzo Mix and Fanta was gone as well. But before, people didn’t buy that much Fritz Cola or Sinalco, now the shelfes were almost empty. Let’s continue to spread the word!
People have mentioned seeing this in Canada, too, but I haven’t seen it myself.
