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?

No, it's popular all over ex Yugoslavia countries. And there are plenty of knock off brands (like the one on the right in your picture), but Cedevita is love, Cedevita is life.
