'I love this drink' shoppers are shouting after discovering the new 'mystery' Fanta flavour
SHOPPERS have spotted a new 'mystery' Fanta flavor on shelves – but fans are divided.
The Coca-Cola brand unveiled a new purple colored carbonated drink as part of this year's #WhatTheFanta.
And a soft drink fanatic shared a photo of the new drink on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
They said you can buy eight cans of Strawberry Cheesecake flavor without sugar from Heron Foods in Crossgates, Leeds.
And fellow bargain hunters were quick to comment on the after – however, some were not convinced by the new flavor.
One said: “I just like them poured into white wine to make a spritzer/cocktail.”
Another commented: “It's awful. Myself and my three kids tried it and none of us could drink it. It's so sweet.”
A third wondered: “It feels like there's no mystery; they all have this flavour.”
A fourth wrote: “It's rank. I bought 2x24x330ml cans and I absolutely hate it.”
It comes after Fanta launched Raspberry Zero Sugar flavor in 2020 and Fanta Zero Strawberry and Kiwi in 2022.
Last year it also unveiled Fanta Zero Watermelon.
Drinks giant Coca-Cola also increased the price of a 2-liter bottle of Fanta by 19 cents, according to the newspaper. Trolley's food price index.
In March 2022, a 2-litre bottle of Fanta Orange cost an average of £1.92, but a bottle will now cost you around £2.11, the data shows.
This is an average increase of approximately 9.9 percent, despite the recipe remaining unchanged.
In the meantime, Marks and Spencer has launched its own soft drink brand with retro styling on the can and retro flavors such as cream soda.
Costa has also launched a winter menu of food and drinks, including a thick milkshake, but heated up.
They are available in three different flavors: white chocolate and strawberry, salted caramel coffee and chocolate hazel.
Tango will release Raspberry Blast and Cherry Blast flavors, the two flavors in the Ice Blast slushy.
Fans can also get an alcoholic Tango Ice Blast cocktail, but this is only available in one UK bar.
In addition, Vimto Discovery Zero will release new flavors with a passion fruit and lychee and a mango and dragon fruit flavor.
