As the global reputation of US brands slips, some US firms are turning to unusual marketing strategies. Coca-Cola, for instance, is now promoting itself as a "German product."
It is and isnt. The inventors Brewerie Riegele sold the rights to Paulaner Brewerie, then it became famouse, big legal fights about the rights came but spezi now is a collective term (Gattungsbegriff) to all cola/lemonade mixes. So now there are the big Paulaner Spezi and Spezi Original from Riegele, that dominate it buuut every brewerie that hold itself to something has their own version
Didn’t know that was an actual brand; in my youth it was a colloquial name for a 50/50 mix of coke and orange lemonade. Another name was diesel.
Diesel is beer and cola
Did not know that it could be that, too. Maybe my childhood’s Diesel was just an underage suitable version.
Isn’t that a Negger? Or is it just with weissbier? For non German speakers: yes, it means what you think it means.
Other common mixes:
Only in Bavaria.
(at least in the 3rd millenium)
Is there anything else??!?
Spoken like a true Bavarian.
Oida!
That too. Though I think my Schwäbisch cousin also says something like that.
Nope
