Searching for REAL Fanta

Post #1 - October 10th, 2006, 10:21 amWhen I was a kid, I had the opportunity to live in Germany for a couple of years. My parents took us to several Oktoberfests, where I always had an orange Fanta drink.
I was happy to see Fanta on the shelves in the U.S. starting a few years ago, but it didn't taste the same.
I thought it was just me, though, until my BIL who travels a lot affirmed that it is not the same.
So does anyone know if/where Fanta is imported in Chicago?

Post #5 - October 29th, 2006, 8:31 pmHave you tried Fanta imported from Poland? Several flavors in 2 liter bottles are available at Polish markets including Bobak's. I haven't tried it so can't say how it compares to other versions.

A dollar-twenty-nine for 0.33L of soda (nearly a 12-ounce can)? Nice. What caught my eye in the Related Products listings, however, was the 2L Fanta Orange Soda Soft Drink for $3.99. Whoo-hoo!

Twice as much for almost the same price when compared to three cans. Can't wait for the right sale to come along.
Edit: that "Product of Macedonia" description might make this not as great of a deal, though. Oh, pooh...
It's all about value,
