The Spezi Project
A completely subjective test of different Spezi and Cola brands that I got my hands on. Let me know if one is missing!
The map shows all Spezi locations as they are written on the bottle or can. In most cases this refers to the brewing location. Sometimes, especially for larger companies, it is different (eg. location of the distribution headquarters).

Values
Sweetness describes the taste and how sweet it tastes, how much sugar is noticeable, and how sticky the drink is without directly referring to the amount of sugar in the drink - 2.5 out of 5 is my personal fav here.
Fruitiness describes how much fruit you can taste. 3 to 4 out of 5 would be perfect for me in a Spezi.
A Synthetic taste sometimes occurs in different types and is often a bit bitter. Less is better.
Depending on the type and also how it’s delivered, Fizz, which means how carbonated (carbon dioxide) the drink is, does vary a lot. For me, about 3 to 4 would be best.
Last but not least, Sugar refers directly to the amount of sugar per 100 ml and is recalculated on a scale of 1 to 5, whith 1 being the drink with the least sugar and 5 being the drink with the most sugar in it.
Rating
The Rating of each drink is on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the best. It directly indicates how well the drink tasted to me and might not relate to the other attributes. Having a good score in all other categories does not imply a good rating.
Top Spezi
This is a generated list of all Spezi that scored a 4 or 5 in the final Rating.
Correlations
It might be interesting to correlate some attributes to see if there are any patterns.
Correlating them all at once is pretty overwhelming so let’s reduce it two pairs of two for now.
