    No I think it says there is a 6 part series of clues if you scan the QR code, but just one mystery flavour

    Ah ok, that makes more sense.

    Still hope its got the dangerous E numbers though

    It's a strange taste, hadnt heard of it until I was in Tesco yesterday so bought a bottle.

    Here's the marketing blurb

    https://ie.coca-colahellenic.com/en/our-24-7-portfolio/brand-news/Fanta-turns-blue

    "Fanta is renowned for exciting and engaging consumers with fun new flavours and inspiring campaigns."

    Is Fanta renowned for this? News to me anyway.

    Imagine working in marketing and coming up with this nonsense?

    I gave it ago and took about two sips.
    It certainly tastes like peaches to me or cheap penny sweets.

    Need to be careful with these coloured drinks. They really do look like chemicals.
    The reason i say this is because when i was 4 i found what i thought was 7up under the kitchen sink. It was white spirits.

    A fun day out was had that day let me tell you.

    This is what happens when marketing dickheads get a brain wave. Its shyte.

    Also, while I'm on a rant. That Club "Pat Frog" drink is a load of balls.

    probably something similar to the original recipe ...the leftovers of leftovers :)
    During the Second World War, the US established a trade embargo against Nazi Germany—making the export of Coca-Cola syrup difficult.[2] To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH), decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including beet sugar, whey, and apple pomace—the "leftovers of leftovers", as Keith later recalled.[2][3] The name was the result of a brainstorming session, which started with Keith's exhorting his team to "use their imagination" (Fantasie in German), to which one of his salesmen, Joe Knipp, retorted "Fanta!".[3]

    The blurb says it's zero sugar. Great. :[
    If it is "peach", they've basically bottled pot pourri juice.

    Im not wondering. I have a propensity to buy blue coloured food/drink.

    I bought this before I was aware of the marketing stuff, it was shyte, won't be buying it again because it was shyte. Anyone repeatedly buying it to find out what flavour it is, is a numpty.

    Is there more than one flavour? The one I had tasted like a tomato plant. It was horrible.

    Probably "whatever was left over in the warehouse" flavour.

    Fanta have about 8 different flavours in America, so I doubt this will be the end of introducing new ones.
    Wouldn't drink that blue muck anyway!

    I don't know why Fanta won't release grape flavour, it is actually quite nice.

    Other than imported cans, so far I can only find them at Five Guys.

    They must be bored down there at Fanta towers.

    Blue Fanta is just people finding work for themselves

    Blue is the only colour that doesn't appear naturally in nature. What you see in nature is actually a light black.
