This soft drink wasn't an accident. Max Keith ran the German Coca-Cola operation in 1938 after the untimely death of an American-born man who passed after a car accident. During WWII, Keith ran the plant even though he didn't have the necessary Coca-Cola syrup ingredient due to the war, per Snopes. He formulated a new soft drink—Fanta—to keep the plant operating.
