Not that Coke is the only company to create uninspired flavors, mind you. Most of the carbonated soft drink brands sold in Romania are actually owned by Coca-Cola or PepsiCo.

Some of you may remember my wistful observation that Romania sometimes seems incapable or unwilling to reach out and compete in foreign markets, even though foreign companies are more than able to compete effectively here. Well, once again, this powdered drink is from Bulgaria.
