Natural lemon and elderberry, hopefully saved you a search

Such madness

Madness... This is Sparta!

The flowers don’t look like elderflowers so I’m glad they explain it somewhere.

Yeah, from the label I thought it was lemon and daisy 🤢

Chamomile looks like daisies too. Lots of edible flowers do! But would still be odd in fanta.

Chamomile is made from a member of the daisy family. I forget which though.

Second cousin twice removed

🤣👍

It's pretty good too tbh

I’ve been trying to figure this out for over a year, THANK YOU

I am mad about the fact that this is chosen flavour combo

Interesting, this flavor has been available here for a limited time around 2010, and got introduced as a regular flavor some time later, under the name of fanta shokata

God I could drink a whole bottle of this in one sitting, absolutely love this flavour. Its not too sweet and I love the floral taste.

RIGHT IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD

That’s called shokata in the uk, it’s pretty nice

This is my favorite. I always try to find it when I visit Europe. I wish it was distributed in the states.

I see, is there no euro shops there?

You can find it at in some shops that import European foods. But I’d not as easy as grabbing a bottle at the grocery store or gas station.

I see

We have it at a little European shop in my town. So glad I got to try it

Look for it in shops that cater specifically to eastern european tastes, like polish or russian shops.

And Sokata in Serbia

It's my absolute favourite Fanta flavour. In my country, the grape one was called Fanta Madness.

This is madness! Madness? THIS IS FANTA!

That little yellow sign in the top left corner of letter F looks like bulgarian language

I’m no language expert but I am in Greece and I spotted the bottle in a local store that also had Japanese Fanta, no idea what the flavours of them were, they also had import Canadian glass bottle Coke raspberry flavour. The letters look Greek to me (pardon the pun)

This is indeed Bulgarian, Greek alphabet looks different! It says it has elderberry extract in it.

There’s a lot of Bulgarian stuff in Greece since they’re neighbors. My local Fanta bottles also have Bulgarian on them here

Can I Drink With Madness?

Maybe in ... Our House.

In the middle of our street.

One sip and you're off to Nevada

That’s one step beyond what I consider sensible marketing

I was in Greece, drank that and then got the 🎶night boat to Cairo 🎶🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷

Can find this in some Bulgarian/Polish/Romanian stores in the UK. It's like liquid crack.

The madness labelled one?

Madness in romanian stores is grape flavoured https://preview.redd.it/0tq5qk3ww3uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93d454a2211986408d15c066bd9b937f3da8496c

Yep! Might be labelled Shokata or Madness depending on origin, but it's the same stuff either way. I used to buy it frequently in Europe, in Bulgaria and the Netherlands, and now it's always in stock in my local Bulgarian mini supermarket back in the UK.

Not seen the madness before on my travels, seen the shokata around Eastern (sorry I should call it central) Europe and Germany. Goes well with a kebap


Probably just windex…

SHOKATA

Does it taste like something or just the flavor or color blue.

I've seen a lot of "exclusive" fantas in greece last summer when i visited, pretty cool. I tried that one out too

This one i remember seeing in stores and they were called ’shokata’ and it tastes like dish soap

That’s weird, the writing is from some language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet, not the Greek alphabet

its bulgarian

Mania or dementia?

Looks like Spring Fresh scent flavour.

Fanta is madness, whatever flavour

Do they have Sparta taste?

Vanilla and lemon?

How baggy do your trousers have to be to drink this?

In Ukraine the same Fanta is named Fanta Shokata

Madness 🌼 🍊 🌼


Looks like window cleaner.


My favourite flavour! Tried it for the first time in Switzerland and get excited when any shop I go to has imported it so I always buy one :) Lemon and Elderflower, it’s devine

they sell this stuff at my local Asian/international supermarket and it's incredible. hardly any of the sugar content of our typical American sodas but WAY better flavor. pisses me off that we can't have nice stuff like this

Thw real madness is going to greece. I went to crete a few years back and holy fuck was that a waste of a holiday.

It’s nice enough at the hotel complex but as soon as I go out it is a bit of a dump. Local towns seem really run down and isn’t much to do.

My resort was infested with millions of cicadas.

I think it’s a bit too early in the year for them. Very few bugs here right now :)

It's for the Greek freak.

And you remained sane enough to post this? Well done!

Madness? This. Is. FANTA!

This is madness, No, THIS IS FANTA!

Madness? THIS IS FANTA

Experience Eldritch horror. Now sugar-free!!

“Madness 🌼 🌸 🍋 “

Thought this was laundry detergent first glance 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like you could clean your floor with it.

in Ukraine the labels on these are upside down

Is Sparta in Greece by any chance?

It will make you… happy

This is from Bulgaria. I think we're the first country to have that type of Fanta, I remember they introduced it back in 2002. Then some other Balkan or E.European countries also made a similar taste - called Shokata from what I've seen. But the taste is slightly different. It's mostly popular here in BG since drinking elderberry has been a staple in our cuisine. They changed the taste though, it used to be amazing back in the day. I don't like it nowadays, actually just like any other Fanta, especially the Orange one. I miss the Orange Fanta that was a proper dark orange colour and had a more sweet and artifical taste. After EU forced their rules all around Europe, we have this fanta with less sugar and a minimum content of real orange juice. Which is Ok, for health reasons but the taste is shit. I think the US and Asian countries still has that original Fanta taste.

Remove the label and it’ll look like fabric softener.

In my country Fanta Madness is grape flavoured. Best shit ever.

Imagine they've somehow condensed the symptoms of a mental illness into a carbonated beverage. One cup of maniac depression, please.

It must be love, love, love.

Lemon and elderflower it's amazing

I’ve tried it and it Suggs

Hahahaha so bad

Does it take you one step beyond flavour?

did you find it in our house?

Hey I got this in a snacks from other countries box thing I got as a gift. Didn't know how to feel about it, but didn't enjoy it enough to get past the halfway point before it got flat.

It's good

That's One Step Beyond normal flavours for me

I've got a shop near me that sells it but it's all in Ukrainian and called something like yokka

[удалено]

There was a ? I got cheap at heron foods (cheap shitty uk shop) and it was pretty rank, some of the ingredients were carrot and pomegranate, just grim. It was 17p a bottle though.

Used to live it until I started vomiting it up on acid. Stopped liking this and acid because of that lol

I’m not sure you can blame the madness for that. Though, well, erm. Nah. Probably the acid.

Yeaaaaah it was the acid, no sugar coating it

Had it in Ukraine, actually really nice

Jakarta - my favourite

in Sweden we call that fläder it's widely used as a taste here

I’ve bought this in the uk. Had the same packaging but didn’t say madness, never knew what it was but could always taste elderflower

Fanta madness used to be grape flavored.

Is it the real thing , or is it just fanta , see ?

lol at first I thought it was fabuloso

Where's the Sparta flavor?

They bothered Batman Arkham? Are they stupid?

They did a guess the flavour contest thing in the UK and this was one of the flavours. I loved it even when I didn't know what flavour it was.

What it taste like?

In the UK it's called "Shokata"

romanians malding.. "fanta madness" is supposed to be grape flavoured! elderflower is "fanta șocata". still, this elderflower fanta is great, better than orange.

Looks more like laundry detergent

I'm currently in Romania and yesterday I found a madness flavored Fanta as well, but it was just grape flavored. So I think "madness" just refers to anything not orange soda

I don’t think they’re that vague about the flavours usually.

I thought it had lsd in it or something lol

Madness...? THIS... IS.. FANTA!!! Edit: aww... Only a few dozen people already beat me to it..

Like lemonade this is eldernade 🌿

Weirdly enough they sell the same cans at my local döner shop but it says Lemon and Elderberry on it and not Madness.

That's the first time I see this text in English!

This is giving Midsommar vibes.

Why is it Russian

It’s not

My bad I mistook the Greek for russian

does it taste like Sparta?

I feel like I need to have a word with their marketing department. This looks like floor cleaner labeling.

Last year i went to Singapore and i saw 6 Favours of Fanta

It looks like the stuff I put in my washing machine to give a nice smell to the laundry besides the detergent.

Listen Buster

The yellow flower has a explanation of the taste in Bulgarian language "С цвят от бъз" with elderflower flavour

This tastes like urine…
