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.

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

I love chinotto but so far italy was the only place i could get it consistently from. When i lived in hungary i had to go to a special import shop, in spain as well and in sweden right now i even asked a person whos from italy, and i couldnt even find it in one of those import places. From what i heard its because most people hate the taste of it so its only sustainable to sell it italy - shame.

In Portugal, we have a few drinks like:

SumolA fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer
CompalCloser to natural juice
Kima (only available in the Azores)Soft fruity taste and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing

If I'm not mistaken they're all produced in Portugal

Edit: I forgot a couple!

BongoSugared up juice fruit marketed to young people, loved by all

BrisaFruity soda with a lighter taste than Sumol imo

Laranjada (available mostly in Madeira)Only tried it once, hard to describe, but tastes like a lab made orange juice

The Portuguese bakery in my neighborhood got me addicted to Sumol. Also pairs nicely with some dark rum...

[โ€“] mitram2@lemmy.pt 2 points 5 days ago

Now I'll have to try Rum-Sumol! XD

Iceland has Appelsin, which is like Tango before they took all the sugar out.

I love chinotto but I wish it was actually widely sold anywhere but italy.

Georgia has a ton of incredible tasting sodas. They probs have the best tasting sodas out there for the sweet stuff.
