Natural vs real orange juice
FellaWithUmbrella
To be fair, the European one contains only about 4.5% orange juice and that natural color comes from carrots and other plants.

Dontcha wanna wanna Fanta?

One’s the President
ImAWeirdMom
Fanta on the right looks like tampico
Which totally off topic, Tampico, IL is where president Reagan was born.
Don't mind me. I make random connections with my vast useless knowledge.

You should get the Spanish ones. Those taste even better than the normal EU ones.
Ndadn
It’s the sugar content ;-)
GrandmasterSpank
Yes but cane sugar :P
pipatron
There's nothing "natural" with either of these. Oh, and I hate the idiot bottle on the right.. Why would you make the center of gravity higher on a bottle with a round base??
TheMurderousCricket
Because it looks like a ballsack - way cooler that way.
duktayp
It says "natural", that means it's healthy
Subtilico
Asbestos is natural.
IhopeUgetwhatUvoted4
It means found in nature, usually insects.

Only downside with the european one is the design, that twisted bit is really flimsy and if you grab it a little too hard you gonna squirt half the bottle in your mouth/face
just4thelolz
I've never noticed that bottle design. Is it new? Looks like some kind of shrinkflation?
swedeonamoose
still 50cl, think from 2017
just4thelolz
Guess it's been a while since my last Fanta. Thanks!
stabbermcshooty
They never advertised Fanta as juice though? That’s what I’ve never understood about this “Gotcha”
Shoutrr
why is there a "caffeine free" label on the artificial one???
YourCatPower
because it should have caffeine compared to competitor
Easykehl
Because sodas in the US often contain caffeine and people want to know if their soda is drugged or not.
imjustagurl87
It’s soda
genericanamoly
Because it says "soda" I am guessing.

Orange juice is acid and sugar. Fanta in both forms is acid and sugar.
Kimmykix
Nah, American Fanta is corn syrup and preservatives..
mirrorz
Preservatives yea, but the corn syrup doesn't matter as sucrose breaks down into fructose and glucose in an acid anyway.
FuzzBall87
Well it's high fructose corn syrup. That can actually matter, if you are like me and get the worst fucking heartburn Everytime you consume a drink filled with high fructose corn syrup.
Sodas with cane sugar? No heartburn, I can drink it normally.
It's one of the main reasons I stopped drinking soda. Which is probably better for me anyway that I don't drink soda.
mirrorz
There's probably something else triggering you because there is no difference chemically unless you drink a cane sugar drink within hours of it being bottled. Once sucrose is exposed to the acids in a soft drink the process has begun to convert it into fructose and glucose just like corn syrup. Usually the salt content accounts for at least part of the flavor profile difference. It's a can of carbonated acid and sugar either way. https://youtu.be/NY66qpMFOYo
FuzzBall87
Well, It's not just soda that I have a problem. It's any drink with high fructose corn syrup. Tastes delicious, but the pain afterwards isn't worth it.
It took me years of trial and error to narrow things down to that ingredient. It is consistently the only ingredient that triggers the heartburn.
I had to learn to check labels of drinks, before I drink them, because it was so bad.
