(Disclaimer for International Fans, Since i grew up in Ireland's Midland Counties, We Colloquially Call Fizzy drinks or Sodas "Minerals". I type it a few times in this review and it will confuse people into thinking it's a mineral water. No it's just a regional Colloquialism!)
So last year I was going to review the Blue Mystery Fanta, I had a review all ready waiting in the wings....until I drank that Rasher Flavoured Slurry!
Yes! Last year they sprang Bacon soda onto an unsuspecting Society
Thus year however, Fanta has Claimed that this year's Mystery Flavour is 3 Flavours, So the reason thus was delayed for 2 weeks was only one shop in Enniscorthy sold this item if we take Coca Cola's word that the Mineral contains 3 FLAVOURS and not 3 INGREDIENTS, I was only in access to one shop and therefore, one flavour, (however that was not the case, As I was to find to find out!)
They Wrote what's in it on the Bottle!
From the Horse's Mouth, it's Written that the Drink Contains Concentrates of Cherry, Carrot and Sweet Potato.
But in quanity? we are Told there is 3 Flavours Of Mineral and Not 3 Ingredients, are they separate or they a Combination to throw People Off?
Enough Stalling let's get into It!
3 BOTTLES OF PINK WTFANTA? MINERAL
Colour: Unnatural Shocking Pink!
Calorie Count: All Bottle claim to be 15 Calories in 2 Half Bottle Servings Or 30 calories a Bottle if we are Splitting Hairs!
Packaging: Nothing to Write Home about, Pink Label with Question Mark where the icon of a Fruit would be, It was Pointed out and i Didn't notice it at the time but each bottle I had contained the Slogan in 3 different Coloured Text Boxes So is it a Differential or a Bluff?
It's A Bluff!
Taste: I pour a Shot Glass of Pink Liquid from my first Bottle, One with a Red Textbox. I inspect the Contents, A Berry-Like Fragrance, Light Carbonization,with A Bubbly Pour. Now to the Taste.
Well, That was Certainly Unique!
A light Crisp, Cherry Flavour, That Yields Quickly into Sweet Potato and Carrot, that hits you both at once, You'll be mistaking to think this was Turnip. Simply Put The Cherry Opens the door and Sweet Potato and Carrot Barges In! But I need to Confirm that This the Only flavour. So i Clean a second Shot glass and pour from my bottle with the green Textbox and Confirm that indeed it's the same flavour. I didn't open the 3rd. i was Satisfied with my answers.
The Reason they revealed the Flavours in the ingredients is that it is now the law to reveal ingredients that are allergens. Appartently, and i didn't know this, But there is such a thing as a Starch Allergy. so if you are Allergic to Potatoes then avoid this.
and that's it 480 down! 20 posts to Go!
