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
