I'm curious about cola:
In all the countries I've lived in, I've always bought store-brand colas - mostly to avoid giving any of my money to Pepsi and Coca-Cola, but also because they're usually a lot cheaper. Most store-brand colas were denominated in the local language.
I always assumed they were made locally because... well, cola is just water with sugar really. But are they? I doubt Cola from Aldi in Germany or K-Market in Finland are made in China or the US, but in fact I don't know. Does anybody know?

Most of the store brands are cheap because they aren't having to pay a large multinational for the privilege of making what is a pretty simple product for them.
As the humus contamination incident in the UK revealed, most of the supermarket own brands are often all made in the same place by a local firm who can keep the margins low.

I suppose most countries over the world have some local sugar-coffeine water in bottles. Is this variant interesting somehow?

It's a European made alternative to an American product. Therefore arguably relevant for this comm. Most posts are similar. Is a substitute beverage any different from email providers or power tools?
As a neighbor to Belgium I've never seen this brand and I was pleased to hear about it, so I can look for it.

They are not all available everywhere. The Danish one mentioned the other day is quite limited.
