The Austrians have Almdudler, the Suisse have Rivella and the French have Orangina. I am chugging that stuff whenever I can get my hands on it.
Then there's Japan, with too many to list. Calpis is one of my favourites.

I thought Frucade was Austrian too, but it's bavarian. I connotated it with Austria because of Hermes Phettberg Nette Leit Show.

Faxe Kondi in Denmark. It is citrus, less sweet than Sprite and available sugar free. I like it and will miss it when I move out of Denmark.
I accidentally took the sugar free once. Why don't they make them easier to distinguish?
Cidona, it's basically a non-Alcholic version of one of the biggest alcoholic apple cider brands in Ireland. A gateway drug.

Hungary has Traubi soda which is made of grape juice.
In Soviet times we also had the Bambi (yes, like the deer) soft drinks in various fruit flavours, which also had a characteristic tar flavour, that (as I just learnt), contrary to popular belief wasn't because tar was one of the ingredients, but because they used expired orange oil. When the drink was reintroduced in recent times, some older customers said they missed that nostalgic tar flavour O.o (+ Bonus racist vintage ad poster from the '40s-'50s in that article.)
In my new home in Scotland we have Irn Bru, which has a strong metallic tutti-frutti flavour which I personally hate, but the locals love it ๐ฌ

Dont know if Norway have that much unique sodas, but two of my favourites are Flux Soda. Vanilla with a citrus hint, and a cool name. And Pink Panter Special a fruit soda with mostly pear taste and a pink color.
We have Solo! IMO a better than Fanta alternative.
As an American, this post has only reinforced for me how shitty it is here.

Zelita. It's a banana flavored soda from Crete, Greece
Here in The Netherlands we have a drink called Cassis. It's a soda made from fermented blueberries. It sounds more delicious than it is in reality, in my opinion.

Scotland: Irn Bru. Has outsold all others for over a century. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irn-Bru
Irn-Bru has long been the most popularly consumed soft drink in Scotland, consistently beating rivals such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Fanta, and reportedly sells 20 cans every second throughout Scotland.
Holy cow! That's impressive. Man, I wish I could try it!

I love this shit so much that I bought the trees and grew the fruit. like little grapefruit/mandarin orange cross. trees died from scale bug though so I never got to try making it from scratch
