Fanta Ad Pulled in Germany After Nazi Gaffe
March 4, 2015Nazis foiled a Fanta ad this week, after Coca-Cola inc. pulled a TV spot in Germany because it failed to mention the Third Reich’s role in creating the popular sports drink.
The ad, entitled “Good Old Times,” was to honor Fanta’s 75th anniversary – and describes its creation due to a shortage of supplies “during World War II” – without mentioning Nazi Germany.
The clip was immediately met with intense backlash online, according to the Express – prompting it to be pulled from television.
“Fanta was invented in Germany during the Second World War but the 75-year-old brand had no association with Hitler or the Nazi party,” a Coca-Cola spokeswoman stated to the daily.
She added that the video was “meant to evoke positive childhood memories” and was not meant to be offensive.
