What's the best selling beverage (preferentially non-alcoholic) unique to your country? In Brazil we all drink guaraná, and even Fanta decided to create their own soda version of the drink.

 

 

Faxe Kondi is one of the best selling beverages in Denmark, created by Royal Unibrew. It tastes like Sprite.

non-alchoolic...definitely Mineral Water...Italy is at the top of any ranking about mineral water drinking...we have I don't know how many different brands of that...

alchoolic...surely wine (especially among the not so young people)...but also beer drinking is growing day after day (especially among the yougsters)...

among the other drinks, I think Coca-cola and Fanta are the best sellers...

we don't have a unique product different from any other Country that's so popular in our entire territory (maybe there are some local traditional products in some places -like the coffe ice-drink in Calabria and on a lesser scale the rest of Southern Italy- but they can't be considered a national beverage)...

 

What about Tassoni ?

 

 

And its unforgettable TV advertisement, always the same since like 50 years

you're right...probably that's a characteristic Italian beverage...

but I'm not so sure they can be considered best sellers...

frankly, I don't think there are many people drinking that...especially in the Central and Southern Italy...

All these Italian dishes makes me really hungry. I will probably have Fusilli al pesto rosso with some vegetables on the side later.

I mean we have pesto, but it's the green one and it's completely different from this one

Don't you have other types of pesto, except Pesto alla Genovese, where you live? 

Here we make many varieties of pesto. BUT NEVER MAKE KALE PESTO! THAT IS A CRIME AGAINST PESTO!

Someone advertising non-Italian food as Italian? Impossible!
