Instead of just proposing replacements, what are some unique soft drinks from your country? This is chinotto, an Italian soda made with a citrus similar to bitter orange called chinotto (lemmy.ca)

Looks like there's a version of it that is a caffeine drink. But yeah, I'm pretty curious about what it tastes like. Unsweetened and originally a replacement for beer, so I'm going to guess it's nothing like a conventional soda.

    And what is a girder?? "Made from girders" is no help at all, as I think of a girder as an architectural support.

    Edit: looks like there's some ginger involved, which helps the ginger commercial make slightly more sense.

    Edit 2: well, they really do mean steel/iron girders. There ya go. Still no help at all.

    Edit 3: people claim it tastes like orange the color but not orange the fruit.

    Yeah, if you read the article linked above, it was originally marketed to steel workers as a replacement for beer when on the job. Originally Iron Brew. But the ingredients are a closely guarded trade secret. I'll have to see if I can find some to taste.
