The other day someone told me about a time they'd vacationed in Italy. They were thirsty, so they bought a can of Fanta. It wasn't even recognizable as Fanta on first glance - the can was pitch black. But curiosity (and thirst) took over, and they had a sip... and immediately spat it back out.
It turns out Fanta has more flavors worldwide than any of us are aware of. You think Fanta is pushing the line when you see a can marked "Red Tangerine"? You don't know the half of it. Let's take a look at the weird and wacky world of stupid Fanta flavors.
Germany: Herbs
Yes, Germany drinks Fanta that tastes like herbs. Over there they call it Kräuter, which doesn't actually make it sound any less disgusting. This flavor dates back to 1984, when everyone was a little bit loopy anyway, and has since been discontinued, so maybe we can forgive them this one.
Thailand: Love
How mysterious. Could any Thai people please let the rest of know exactly what love tastes like? I'm thinking copious morning breath with a dash of disappointment. Interestingly, the King of Thailand's favorite Fanta flavor is apparently Red Soda. Hey, if it's good enough for the King it's good enough for you.
Taiwan: Vanilla Ice-cream
Don't get me wrong. I like Fanta and I like vanilla ice-cream, but I can't say I've ever had the thought "you know, this ice-cream would taste a whole lot better if it was fizzy". Taiwan, cutting into the lead for Stupid Fanta Flavors, also offers Toffee and Lactic White Grape.
Japan: Hip Hop
Hey, it wouldn't be a list of weird things if Japan didn't make an appearance. Even more perplexing than Thailand's entry, Japan leaves the rest of the world to wonder what hip hop actually tastes like with this.
