Is there anywhere in the continental United States where I can buy Fanta as it is mixed in Europe. I love Lemon Fanta which I have never found here, but I would settle for regular Orange Fanta like in Europe that actually tastes like Orange and not the disgusting radioactive orange concoction that is sold here... Any ideas???

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.

I tried Baumeister Orange. It was closer to the Euro Fanta Orange than most other orange sodas.

My husband has me on a manhunt for Fanta Citrus after hearing a rumor that it's supposed to be Citra in disguise. Does anyone here know if that is true or not?

I found this site while looking for the Curly Wurly (like the old Marathon bar) candy bar. They list Fanta Lemon as available. http://www.britishdelights.net/drinks.htm

I was extremely disappointed when I found the US's yellow fanta to be pineapple instead of lemon. When I went to Europe a few years back, that was all I ever drank; I haven't been able to find any here at all.

Both the URLs given earlier in this topic either won't let you 'checkout' or they are sold out of product. Anyone else know how to get lemon fanta?
