For those of you still not fluent in Hungarian, the flavor (Bodza) is Elderberry. I picked up this bottle at the 0-24 store down the street on a whim after trying Fanta Raspberry earlier this week. Both are amazing; perhaps even better than Fanta Grape in the US, which is high praise coming from me. Didn't have a clue what bodza was when I bought the drink, but it's delicious. I may have to seek out some real-life elderberries now.
Fun fact: look closely at the black object on the label to the right of "WORLD." I believe this is the silhouette of the Hungarian Puli dog. On that note, dogs are surprisingly common here in Budapest. I see quite a few every day, including the enormous and somewhat worrisome Rottweiler guarding the construction site next to my flat.
To bring things full circle (fruity drinks back to fruit), kiwis are incredibly cheap here. I picked up a kilo of them at Tesco for 260 Ft (less than a buck fifty).

Great stuff, greg. Keep it coming. Just thought I'd point out that there have been a few great xkcd posts lately. Namely: "G-spot," "Dimensional Analysis" (mouseover good), and "semi-controlled demolition" (mouseover particularly good). That's all. Keep at it.
