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!
People have mentioned seeing this in Canada, too, but I haven’t seen it myself.
Us Canadians don’t have an alternative though, even our Canada Dry ginger ale is American. Maybe people are just drinking less pop here which would be good as well.
