By my reckoning, blueberry and vanilla, it certainly shouts down your mouth we tried a bottle of this last night weird sorta aftertaste , reminded me of yogurt for some reason .. but presumably this drink isn't Strawberry yogurt flavour so I'm going with Strawberries and cream ( I think the purple is a ermm purple herring ) Edited April 21, 2023 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Blueberries is a hard flavour to nail down imo as its not usually very strong, did once try blueberry coke in the states and it was pretty bland If you want a strawberry drink then mirinda is drinkable if you're in a chicken shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Told you this was bugging me … so if you look at Haribo rhubarb and custard sweets , in amongst the flavouring you’ll see flavourings, fruit and plant concentrates: safflower, lemon, sweet potato, apple, blackcurrant, radish the purple Fanta shares quite a few of the flavourings , so I’m gonna double down on rhubarb and custard … On 12/04/2023 at 12:16, tonyh29 said: Fruit and Vegetable Concentrates (Sweet Potato, Apple, Radish, Cherry), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I read online yesterday that "Fanta is a poor man's Tango". But for me they're both a poor man's Orangina. My guess is that Orangina has less added sugar? And maybe less chemicals? For me it tastes less sweet and less artificial/more natural than Fanta or Tango.

I had one in McDonald's a couple of weeks ago, and when I stuck my straw in to it, the whole think pretty much exploded in a coke fountain. I'm not entirely sure why, it's not as if I really punched it in, the ice cream seemed to have created some built up pressure that got released. What was left tasted good, even with the cleaner giving me evil looks as I enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Picked up some Pepsi Max Mango from Sainsburys earlier. First time i've seen it on sale. I'm sure @tonyh29 has probably tested it at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
