What was the first orange soda brand ever?

The first orange soda brand is generally considered to be Fanta, which was created in Germany in the early 1940s. However, earlier versions of orange-flavored Carbonated Beverages existed, including those produced by Charles Hires in the late 19th century. Fanta became widely recognized after its introduction by The Coca-Cola Company during World War II. The specific title of "first orange soda" can vary based on regional histories and definitions.
