Fanta Grapefruit is back!

I saw something "new" at the shop few days ago!!

Fanta Grapefruit

By the way, as you can see in the picture, Fanta ume (plum) was also in the market, but I didn't take any good pictures of it earlier. =( When I came back to the shop the other day, it was not there anymore. Only Fanta Grapefruit and Grape were there instead. Bad luck!

I'm sorry that I won't be able to tell you how the taste of Fanta Grapefruit is, because it is definitely not the kind of flavor I will buy!!! hehe =P I'm scared of grapefruits in general, because they are so sour (for me, at least!). I also do not drink grapefruit juice. I'm aware of the nutritional value of grapefruit, but what to do? I was tortured each time I ate it. By the way, grapefruit has tons of nutrients and is said to be able to prevent various health issues such a high cholesterol level and constipation. It contains vitamin C and antioxidant, and it may help in weight loss programs.

I like to see grapefruits actually, especially the ones with red pulps inside. How can they be so bright in yellow outside and also have such striking red color inside?! My impression everytime I see this type of grapefruit is like as if I see watermelon, hehe. They look so sweet ... but yah... >_____<

In fact, Fanta Grapefruit is not new, as well as some other Fanta flavors. It was in the Japan market before on 1993 and 2002. It must be exciting for all the grapefruit lovers to be able to enjoy this special edition Fanta flavor again. :) This blog shows great collections of Fanta from all over the world! Although it might not be the complete list to date, but it was interesting to see that at least Fanta has been around since 1968!

I coincidentally was wearing yellow that day!  Perfect day for the finding. :)

New FANTA flavors - some using the old logo

Fanta apple and fanta peach

Fanta golden grape

The fact that Japan always has special edition stuffs in the market especially related to food and drinks makes me love this country even more. I will never get bored because there is always new thing to appreciate and enjoy everyday!

This year FANTA came up with some new flavors (not sure if these flavors have been produced in Japan before, but they haven't been in the market since I came) :
apple, peach, grape, strawberry soda, and golden grape.

As you can see, some of them use the old logo of FANTA. It really reminds me of my childhood.. ^^ I'm not a big fan of carbonated drinks, to be honest. It takes days for me to finish only one bottle !! (HA..HA) however, I'm always tempted to try special edition stuffs ! ^_____^

Since they came into the market around the same time, I didn't try them all but I tried fanta golden grape. In my opinion, the taste and smell quite represented the green grapes. I haven't managed to research the difference between green grapes and golden grapes, hehe. If any of you know something about it, please let me know! :)

Don't forget to check my post about Japan's latest winter edition Pepsi White launched on December 11, 2012, Pepsi Franky Cola which is another latest special edition Pepsi based on famous Japanese shounen manga series, One Piece (ワンピース), Japan's summer edition Pepsi Black Lemon with all-black Pepsi logo, a bit of lemon flavor and 50% less sugar content, Japan's summer edition Pepsi Salty Watermelon, my favourite among all ^__^, released last year to celebrate the enjoyment of summer, and Coke Zero 007 Skyfall Special Edition. :)
