Day 83 - Fanta Green Apple Soda


If you like a Jolly Rancher green apple candy and bubbles, you probably would like Fanta Green Apple Soda or pop if you prefer, though they call it soda and I call it soda.  It tastes to me just like a delightful Jolly Rancher.  It has a strong apple aroma, the flavor is sweet and quite tart.  There is a pleasant amount of carbonation.  It tastes a lot like Dekuyper Sour Apple Pucker liqueur, see my Day 6 apple review, https://mikegrunertblog.blogspot.com/2017/02/day-6-fuji-pucker-apple-raisin-bran.html, though Pucker is thicker and sweeter and boozier as it is booze.

Fanta Green Apple Soda has a neat toxic green color.  It is produced by The Coca-Cola Co.  The label displays "100% natural flavors".  Government regulations define natural flavors as those that derive their aroma or flavor chemicals from plant or animal sources, including fruit, meat, fish, spices, herbs, roots, leaves, buds or bark that are distilled, fermented or otherwise manipulated in a lab.  

The ingredients are: CARBONATED WATER, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, NATURAL FLAVORS, CITRIC ACID, MALIC ACID, CARAMEL COLOR, SODIUM CITRATE, SODIUM BENZOATE AND POTASSIUM SORBATE, (sarcastic Yum!)  But seriously, it is tasty, just not a health food option, probably best not to drink every day! 

The 20oz bottle has 280 calories and 75g of sugar, 149% of your recommended daily  value!  It is caffeine free.  This tangy concoction can also be purchased in 7.5 or 12oz cans or 2 liter bottles.

Next time, I will take you to an orchard far, far away with the Cosmic Crisp apple.  Drink up and crunch on!
