This poorly judged Fanta ad was pulled after calling for a return of the ‘Good Old Times’, in an attempt to recognise the brands conception – during Nazi Germany.
The brands attempt to celebrate the soft drink’s 75th anniversary, calling for a return to the “good old times”, when the country was under Nazi rule.
According to a Coca-Cola representative, the ad was intended to “evoke positive childhood memories”.
Adding: “Fanta was invented in Germany during the Second World War but the 75-year-old brand had no association with Hitler or the Nazi Party.”
Fanta was born in Germany, where Coca-Cola was unavailable due to a shortage of syrup during the war.
