  History trivia: Fanta was invented in 1941 in Nazi Germany, when Coca-Cola Germany couldn’t get the original syrup because trade was cut off.

    I know about Nazi Germany but when and where was/is Coca-Cola Germany?

      Companies open subdivisions in other countries. These subdivisions are often responsible for full operations in that country.

      Coca-Cola opened a subsidiary in Germany sometime after the end of the first world war. (My Google fu has failed me)

      The main company stopped sending syrup to Germany after 1939 or so, but didn’t close it’s German subdivision. The German plant manager then created Fanta out of ingredients that were available to Germany during the war.

      And then after WW2 ended, the main Coca-Cola company regained control of their German subdivision, and adopted Fanta as a brand.

      As a note here, Coke was one of a bunch of American companies that were extremely friendly with the Nazis.

  Just go watch the Celts do anything, they didn’t like writing anything down so there’s a bunch we can’t find out.

    Time machine is one way and I can’t write without my iPad sorry

      That’s okay. The iPad will travel back to the future on its own automatically. Only much slower. As we all do

  Unrelated but a few Nando’s near me (not sure if it is all of the UK’s Nando’s) started offering a fanta orange flavoured sauce to replace the regular peri peri stuff on our chicken.

  No one I went with last time wanted to try it so I don’t know how nice it is but it sounds disgusting!

  Sometimes I fantasize about using a time machine to top normal people from dying.

  go back and stop Elisa Lam, or stop some random person from getting killed in a dark alley, or talk to someone just long enough to stop them from causing a multi-fatality accident.

    not a bad story for a superhero with time travel powers.

    the only consequence is that you will age (normal rate for you), but really fast compared to everyone else, given that you likely go back and forth a lot.

    Imagine how hard is it for your family to see you after a week and you look visibly older because you were busy saving lots of people, and you ended up living a few years in a single week.

      good point, I was kind of hoping for a Quantum Leap thing though.

      just a near-endless cycle of saving peoples lives.
