Coca Cola does not sell anymore (europe.pub)

Went to a drink store (Getränke Markt) in Aachen, Germany today. To my surprise I saw that all local soda brands were almost sold out(Fritz, Afri, Sinalco) and Coca Cola was almost not touched. I was very pleasantly impressed by this. Seems like more people are joining with the small consumer choices to buy from EU rather than US. Do more people notice this elsewhere?

People have mentioned seeing this in Canada, too, but I haven't seen it myself.

Us Canadians don't have an alternative though, even our Canada Dry ginger ale is American. Maybe people are just drinking less pop here which would be good as well.

In small store, there isn't much alternative. When I was young, RC Cola was there, but now its only Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

You have a few small companies colas in the grocerie stores, but they cost an arm and a leg.

I'd be pretty surprised if store brand pop isn't made and packaged by Pepsico.
