Because there’s a general move away from US products in the EU due to the souring of US-EU relationship since Trump became president.
Coca-Cola is one of the brands that is extremely well known for being from the US. As such it would be easy for people to boycott, even if they didn’t do their research regarding which brands are from the US originally.
Plenty of people try to boycott anything by US brands. So I would assume that plenty of people who are boycotting also stopped drinking Fanta. But the thing is because this is more of a movement originating from the public not everyone does research in equal amounts. Fanta is likely less obviously US based to most people compared to Coca-Cola. So if I’d have to guess it was probably boycotted less by comparison.
Europe did a big anti America propaganda campaign to convince their population to spend money on European weapons. Europe is now spending that money on American weapons.
lol. Not sure where you think you saw an ad campaign. If anything I saw the public spontaneously boycotting way faster than the average government based ad campaign could have been arranged. If there has been any campaigns (and again: I am aware of none) then it was after the public already started boycotting by themselves.
Source: I live in the EU and saw this happen and had conversations with people around me about the boycotts too.
There is no “public opinion” in Europe. Only sheep who repeat whatever line they are fed by their media and politicians. One day they are going to break loose from America. The next day the 5% NATO money is going straight towards daddy Trump and nobody bats an eye.
The contradiction of the EU buying American and Israeli weapons with their new money instead of European weapons is too hard to ignore.
Can someone from Germany enlighten me as to why there is a boycott of Coca-Cola in Germany?

Ah, thank you. That makes sense.
What about Fanta? Is that included in the boycott?
