American TikToker Surprised by Green Creme Soda
Speaking of South African beverages, another viral moment involved an American TikTok creator visiting Mzansi. She was utterly shocked to discover that our local Creme Soda is green in color. Now, this might seem normal to us, but trust me, it’s not something you see every day in other parts of the world.
The creator also sampled a Fanta orange, noting that it tasted similar to the version back home. Social media users were quick to respond, asking about the color of Creme Soda in the US, while others proudly defended our vibrant green version. It just goes to show that even the simplest things, like the color of a drink, can spark curiosity and excitement.
So, whether it’s Appletiser, Grapetiser, or even our iconic green Creme Soda, one thing is clear: South Africa’s drinks are making waves across the globe, one sip at a time. Cheers to that!
