Fanta Piña Colada

Brand: Fanta
Bottler: Coca-Cola
Purchased from: Desert Drinks for $5.00

At a glance
Flavor profile: strong pineapple with very subtle coconut finish
Sweetness: very high
Carbonation: light

This tastes almost exactly like the Fanta Pineapple flavor, but the coconut undertones are definitely detectable, especially towards the end of the sip. I enjoy Fanta's pineapple flavoring for a sip or two, but after that, its incredibly cloying sweetness makes it tough to finish an entire bottle. The coconut here does not really do anything to either tone down the sweetness or differentiate this soda from the regular Pineapple flavor. The coconut flavor is not bad on its own though: mellow and slightly bitter, just like the real thing. I think if the coconut flavor was more pronounced and the sweetness was diminished, this soda would be alright. As it is, it's not something I'm particularly keen to drink again.

Rating: 4/10
