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?

We have something like this in Romania,but they where popular around 18-20 years ago. After we enter the EU,they gradually disappeared from the shelves

Really? Never saw these or other powder drinks in Romania. Everybody's crazy about fresh juices, lemonades and the classical Coca-Cola, Fanta and so on.
