To solve it, Coca-Cola changed the name of its factories, to make them independent and continue to make profits. Thus Fanta was born exclusively for the German market, and proved to be a success.

In the 1980s, many years after its introduction, Coca-Cola pressured its largest bottling companies, which distributed 7 Up, to replace the competition with its own product.
