Better hope he doesn’t ask where Fanta comes from

Fanta originated in Germany as a Coca-Cola alternative in 1941 due to the American trade embargo of Nazi Germany

What’s Germany? What’s America? What’s Coca-Cola? What’s an embargo? What’s Naziism?

What’s Germany?

Well, that one he knows at least! He fought with the Germanic tribes, who he notes came from a land called Germania.

I don’t see how Caesar would be bothered by any of that.

That’s the Asterix version of Caesar, specifically. Wonder if it’s an official product, or fan made?

I found it here:

But it seems it was based on a sculpture which was sold on Amazon (and is currently out of stock):

Personally, I’d love to learn enough of the latin he spoke to be able to present him with a bottle of Cesar salad dressing and then tell him how many millions of people think of it when they hear his name.

An Italian guy who opened a restaurant in Mexico catering to Americans because the United States had banned alcohol.

I’d give the people of hispaniola a few modern guns and ammunition around 1491 as well as a description of christopher columbus, his ships, and weaponry with full detail of what will happen if a single spaniard escapes.

Fun fact, part of the reason no other expedition to the new world had been successful before was because the few that showed up were likely slaughtered before they could escape. The mainland was pretty hostile to newcomers.

It’s also possible they felt this way because it was the Vikings who kept showing up.

I mean that sounds great and all but what are the chances some other explorers find it and the same shit goes down basically the same way?
