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?

Here in southern Germany I have noticed that Coca Cola is discounted in some stores. I bought Paulaner Spezi anyway - tastes better and is more ethical.

Is there still no sugar-free version of it?

There is, but that's not my thing. I'm not much of a soda person anyway, but I made an exception with full sugar (prolly less than coke anyway).

Edit: Paulaner Spezi Zero
