Blue Fanta.....

Sheep Shagger

Err not sure what I was expecting, won't be buying a second bottle anyway.

Assume its limited for summer only ?

It’s same as COVID there forever more.

I think I read somewhere it was elderflower. But the blue is enough to put me off.

Potential-Monke

I'll never understand flower flavoured drinks...

Supply Chain : Ah bollox. I accidentally ordered 500 tonnes of blue die instead of yellow die.

Marketing: Not a problem. Our customers are stupid.

I was going to buy some next time I saw it, my mind was thinking it would taste somewhere between blue Mr Freeze and WKD Blue.

Is there more than one flavour? The one I had tasted like a tomato plant. It was horrible.

I haven't actually tried it, I just seem to remember reading it ages ago.

So does it taste blue or orange?

My kids love it! Had a taste, definitely got a lemony taste.

Hmmm. In that case, it could be prickly pear.

If you are on the stuff for a full night it completely destroys you the next day with sugar overdose.

No. It's made from tomato plants.

No, reading is for nerds.

My kids used to love Blue flavoured slush puppies, I assume its the same but IMO I've never tasted a Blue anything, well except for Illegal stuff, but blue for kids is a sales pitch

It looks like something you’d use to clean the toilet. That alone would turn me off drinking it.

Very weird, and why blue? what's going on .....

Blue Gin maybe, blue Fanta, No.

It is actually surprisingly good with gin, which has meant that it won't get used directly as toilet cleaner here.

It's a strange taste, hadnt heard of it until I was in Tesco yesterday so bought a bottle.

Here's the marketing blurb

Wait..it could be one of any 6 flavours. So two bottles may not taste the same?

I hope its laced with some of those deadly E numbers from back in the late 80s early 90s.

No I think it says there is a 6 part series of clues if you scan the QR code, but just one mystery flavour

Ah ok, that makes more sense.

Still hope its got the dangerous E numbers though

"Fanta is renowned for exciting and engaging consumers with fun new flavours and inspiring campaigns."

Is Fanta renowned for this? News to me anyway.

Imagine working in marketing and coming up with this nonsense?

Yuck, I hate greens

Especially the political kind

I gave it ago and took about two sips.
It certainly tastes like peaches to me or cheap penny sweets.

Mrcaramelchoc

Need to be careful with these coloured drinks. They really do look like chemicals.
The reason i say this is because when i was 4 i found what i thought was 7up under the kitchen sink. It was white spirits.

A fun day out was had that day let me tell you.

This is what happens when marketing dickheads get a brain wave. Its shyte.

Also, while I'm on a rant. That Club "Pat Frog" drink is a load of balls.

peasant

probably something similar to the original recipe ...the leftovers of leftovers

During the Second World War, the US established a trade embargo against Nazi Germany—making the export of Coca-Cola syrup difficult.[2] To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH), decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including beet sugar, whey, and apple pomace—the "leftovers of leftovers", as Keith later recalled.[2][3] The name was the result of a brainstorming session, which started with Keith's exhorting his team to "use their imagination" (Fantasie in German), to which one of his salesmen, Joe Knipp, retorted "Fanta!".[3]

The blurb says it's zero sugar. Great. :[
If it is "peach", they've basically bottled pot pourri juice.

But those marketing guys have us talking about it on Boards..everyone wondering what it tastes like..no doubt numerous boardsies are gonna buy it now

Im not wondering. I have a propensity to buy blue coloured food/drink.

I bought this before I was aware of the marketing stuff, it was shyte, won't be buying it again because it was shyte. Anyone repeatedly buying it to find out what flavour it is, is a numpty.

Probably "whatever was left over in the warehouse" flavour.

Rubberlegs

I had some yesterday, I thought it had a smell and taste of banana off of it. I like bananas but bleurgh

nazmoalex

Fanta have about 8 different flavours in America, so I doubt this will be the end of introducing new ones.
Wouldn't drink that blue muck anyway!

PTH2009

Did anyone ever try mezzo mix ?

It's a cola/orange combination, it's big in Europe and you can get in the coca cola freestyle machines in Dublin Airport

I think you can find them Dealz if not mistaken

lau1247

I don't know why Fanta won't release grape flavour, it is actually quite nice.

Other than imported cans, so far I can only find them at Five Guys.
