Rovios Angry Birds franchise has become the toast of Finland, replacing the troubled Nokia (NOK) as the companys most distinguished brand. With this in mind, its not surprising that the Fins have a great deal of pride in their world-famous gaming company, so much so that theyll even drink Angry Birds-branded soda. The Next Web reports that Rovios Angry Birds-branded soda is said to be outselling Coke and Pepsi in Finland and will soon hit the shelves in both New Zealand and Australia as well. Does the soda actually taste good? Who knows. But we do know that if it doesnt, the cans will be super-fun to put in slingshots and launch at neighbors houses on Halloween.

And Finland...ers around? Really curious how these taste :S

Can it get any worse than this?

Pre-emptive shut up Wario

VashTS · Nov 22, 2012

But how does it taste?

Roto13 · Nov 22, 2012

Why?

I don't understand the appeal of these characters as a brand. They lack any sort of charm at all.

tkscz · Nov 22, 2012

Isn't there an Angry Birds amusement park section in Finland?

rezuth · Nov 22, 2012

Angry Birds Tropic taste like Fanta Exotic.

iOS userbase + wellmade game with loads of level + easy to use mechanic with a bit of depth = bonanza.

It'll eventually reach that point.

Ventrue · Nov 22, 2012

"is said to be"?

So there's no actual source or evidence?

Richie · Nov 22, 2012

Unsurprising. The country has an exquisite tradition of appreciation toward animated angry birds.

red731 · Nov 22, 2012

But..why?
I guess it's because everyone of my nongaming friends be it girls or boys, knows it.
Even mother of children from my work asked me how to get it for her children.

edit: lol, post down
Over the top Louis Vuitton AB bags - just for mere 999usd

Angry Birds hot chicken wings is all I need. Then I've lived my life and can be laid to an Angry Birds coffin once the time comes.

Depends. If you own a handheld, it's bitter.

GavinGT · Nov 22, 2012

Pantie Parties? I'm into that.

Azure Dream · Nov 22, 2012

I admit, seems a little more appealing than a "Crush the Castle"-flavored soda.

"This tastes like rubble and dead nobles!"

But what does Fanta Exotic taste like? We don't have both here.

They're all right. Not the best sodas but not the worst either.

Double XP? I'd totally buy some if the promotion was in Aus.

I've seen angry bird cakes for sale in food courts at a shopping centre. That's pretty much it.

Has angry birds reached its peak yet? It's getting quite ridiculous.

Adam J. · Nov 22, 2012

Still waiting on Angry Birds: The AAA Video Game.

Here's some bird pooped coffee. (not really bird pooped, but you'll get the mental image)

So. You see we're finnished. Can someone just burn this country already and get over it.

Xenon · Nov 22, 2012

I loved the game as well. My daughter and her friends still play with the stuffed animals. The characters are becoming as iconic as Mario and sonic. Hell, they are babysitting half the kids in US. I can't go anywhere without seeing some kid playing it on their parents cel phone.

Arucardo · Nov 22, 2012

The fuuuuck? That soda is expensive and tastes like shit. It's made by the defacto b grade soda and beer maker Olvi.

Not a big soda drinker but if I see it on te shelves here ill try it for the good of GAF.

RoboPlato · Nov 22, 2012

I still can't figure out how Angry Birds became such a cultural phenomenon. I enjoy the games but have no idea how all the various products and stuff have caught on.

Majine · Nov 22, 2012

I wonder when Finlands flag eventually turns red.

I have an Angry Bird plushie :3
