Cuisine Are these drink powders only popular in Croatia?

Have been to HR a couple of times, but I have noticed just now these... basically sugar and aroma and EVERYONE is drinking it o_O (Guess these add a lot to the overweight problems around here.)

Is this solely a Croatian thing or a Balkans way of life, folks?

Cevitana is so bad it doesn't even dissolve by itself in water. You have to actively stir it.

I once bought cuz Cedevita wasnt available, she told me it was bad, and i joked that "oh cmon, it cant be that bad"

it was like drinking sand. it really didnt dissolve at all

Wow such original comment. You must be so proud of yourself. You are following the steps of Alexander the Great and you will conquer the world with these type of comments.

You literally cry about something, then tell people to "cry about it". Typical stupid nationalist behavior.

Western Turkey wasn't in Yugoslavia therefore they couldn't have it prior to the exporting of Cedevita (which isn't happening at a large scale afaik) ;p
