Advantages: Refreshing

Disadvantages: high in sugar

Fanta is a product of the Coca-Cola Company since 1960 and they have over 70 various flavours in many different countries, which can be different in each country. "The composition of Fanta, for the same flavour, varies from country to country".

Fanta Icy Lemon was formerly known as Fanta Lemon but in 2004 they changed the name to Fanta Icy Lemon.

I wasn't an instant fan of this to be honest, or in other words I didn't think that it would taste very nice. I always think of Fanta as an orange fizzy drink so it took me a while to get my head around the fact that they produce numerous flavours of Fanta.

On the Bottle it states that this is a "Tongue tingling sparkling Lemon juice drink with sugar and sweeteners". Which to be far it is exactly what it says on the bottle.

Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Sugar (from beet and/or cane), Lemon juice from concentrate (5%), citric acid, Stabilisers (Acacia Gum, Glycerol esters of wood rosins), Preservative (Potassium sorbate), antioxidant (ascorbic acid), Sweeteners (Acesulfame K, Aspartame, Sodium Saccharin), Flavourings. Contains a source of Phenylalanine.

I haven't got a clue what half of those ingredients are but I'm guessing most of them are really not too good for you.

30% less sugar than Fanta Icy Lemon in 2006

I only bought this because I wanted a change from drinking the same old non-alcoholic drinks all the time. I never drink tea or coffee so I always have some fizzy juice, which to be honest is probably really bad for you but I can't help it.

I usually buy nothing but diet or free fizzy juice but thought that once in a while it is ok to have something different.

Instantly the taste is really refreshing and it is also a nice change to Cola or Orange for a change. It doesn't leave a bitter taste in your mouth as you would think but it actually cools you down and the zingy taste is really nice. The only disappointing thing is it goes down that well that you can't believe that it has finished so quickly.

Dispite the fact that it states on the label 30% less Sugar. This fizzy soft drink is still really high in sugar.

Summary: Have a try you never know you might like it.
