You have a problem there. I suspect that the Fanta Lemon in the US is different that the Euro Fanta Lemon. Fanta Lemon is bottled in a few places, but finding out which areas is a nightmare. I'm still also looking for Fanta Red Cream Soda (NOT plain Fanta Red, not Barq's Red Cream), but the 800 number is useless on finding out which bottler carries what.

You can order Euro Fanta Orange from several different soda shops, but it's pricey, I paid &1.79 a 7 oz. bottle for it. The Mexican Fanta Orange is better than the US version, but it's also pricey.

If you mix Sprite & orange juice half & half you get something close to Euro Fanta Orange.

"...not the disgusting radioactive orange concoction that is sold here"

Good way of putting it. The US Fanta Orange has changed formulation at least 3 times in my lifetime, & it seems to get worse each time. Now their adding cocoanut oil, saying it will reduce seperation of the drink. I never had seem it seperate before, & there is lots of saturated fat in cocoanut oil.
