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?

Lmaoooooo, I literally dump a shit ton of it in my water just so I can feel the sweetness and the orange acidic flavour 🤤

for me it depends on the Cedevita

Mango and Ananas I add it to water and a little bit of sugar on top

for Lemon or Lime I add it to lemonade instead of water

Blood orange is fine as is with just water

can't be bothered to recall my water to Cedevita ratios

Why not red orange?

Because the English name is blood orange, because the deep red of the flesh is the colour of blood. There's even a sort in Spain called Sanguinello.

That's a disgusting name for fruit.

We are not vampires

We literally have blood sausage as a traditional food, made with actual blood. You're overthinking this. It was a way to describe it that most of the world understands, not a declaration of vampirism 😂

Yes, this is the best. It reminds me of a powdered drink my grandmother used to bring from Spain. It came in sachets, though.
