A soft drink with such a name would never be possible in Russia. No-one would buy The Spirit of Georgia if it were sold in Russia or any other country where Russian is the dominating language!
Most Germans call the drink simply ‘Georgia’ now since ‘the spirit of Georgia’ is too difficult for them to pronounce. It still amazes me that Coca Cola chose that name in the first place.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Why are you still talking about this spirit of georgia thing? Who cares what that drink is called? It’s made of sugar and a bunch of chemicals to get folks addicted to it as fast as possible. That’s the spirit of georgia and the spirit of capitalists.

By the way, there is no need for you to try and defend your American country fellows here since I’m pretty sure the guys who created the name where German

Aw, “The Spirit of Georgia” is easy to remember and to pronounce! What will we all do if we get an import called “Wanhanajan Limonaadi” of a company named Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas?

Hi Torsten,
to be very frank, all of my family and friends only drink mineral water, herbal teas, coffee, wine and beer. One single friend buys Bionade because she has a child and is totally into “bio”.

Now that you mention it . . . Thank you. 
I guess we are not the sugary types, lol. The only beverage we drink that contains sugar is fruit juice and most of the people I know mix it with mineral water (Saftschorle).
