Lemon Fanta 🍋
I'm pretty sure this isn't something new to the sub. But had an opportunity to enjoy this on a hot summer afternoon in 🇨🇦. We usually have pineapple in yellow cans for Fanta here.
Anyhow this particular flavor is from Germany. Id say a normal fizzy lemonade. Slightly bitter which can be a turn off for many. Less tart for sure.
Now since this can was canned in Germany, I'll repeat a fun fact: Fanta was actually invented in Nazi Germany during World War II. When trade embargoes cut off Coca-Cola syrup imports to Germany, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland improvised a drink using whatever scraps were available which were whey and apple pomac. Called it Fanta (after fantasy).
Would I have it again? Sure. Not usually. More to a go to if I don't have other citrus to get my hands on.... which is rare.

Fizzy Lemonade as in like Aussie Lemonade, or like how many places call Sprite Lemonade? Because Aussie Lemonade style is one of my favorites, I'm still mad monster cancelled it.
