@thomasfuchs Let's face it: German is as poetic as it gets.
My Grandma to this days says "Brause". We used to get one "Kasten Brause" from the "Brausekastenfahrer" - can you believe that soda was distributed like milk before we had those terrible Kaufland malls in Germany? (:
@thomasfuchs Anyways, seems like I'm getting old and nostalgic - but not too old for Brause, of course 😅
@ftranschel interestingly we didn’t have that term in Austria, people would only refer to brand names really (Fanta, Sprite, etc.), possibly using “Cola” as a generic term for anything resembling Coca-Cola
