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?

Not just that but if the alternative brand isn’t in stock, people will buy coca cola or Pepsi. But coke and Pepsi are not available, many people will not buy alternative brands. So supermarkets will always give priority to stocking the most popular brands.
