How it's used
Brand names for soft drinks are often used as generic terms in Hong Kong, but 芬達 specifically refers to the Fanta product line. It is most commonly associated with the orange flavor, which is a staple in local cha chaan tengs and fast food shops. When ordering, it is standard to specify the flavor if you want something other than the classic orange.
