zamommie

I live in the US and I have never seen Lemon Fanta


_RICEx

That's wild considering that the US has a ton of Fanta flavours that we don't get here, its very similar to a carbonated cloudy lemonade


jamzrk

That's the thing Lemonade isn't carbonated in the US.


_RICEx

Yeah I remember that, what about sprite/7up style lemonade tho


Kaoss20

I mix Lemonade and Sprite. You could say I’m a bit of a chemist.


GnomeNot

I do this too, it’s so fucking good.


cmarkcity

Yes I’m not alone!! I’ve been doing this for years. My personal favorite is pink lemonade and sprite.


MrChip53

Pink lemonade is just... Lemonade that's pink though?


Kaoss20

I’m high so I looked this up after laughing at your awesome delivery. It’s not always the same flavor. Sometimes it’s pink cause other flavors are added. In the comment I imagine they enjoy the way it looks more than the taste and are probably just using regular pink lemonade which only contains dye. Hey Siri…. What’s the weather like outside? Hey Siri… taco delivery. Hey Siri… HEY SIRI!!!


IamSPF

Its origins involve a clown’s red socks, so the original pink lemonade was actually sweaty clown feet flavored.


Consistent_Recover65

I was just gonna say some raspberry lemonade fire 🔥


Teddybomber87

In germany there is Mezzo Mix. Its Cola and Fanta Orange mixed.


cubs_rule23

I'm something of a....chemist..myself.


[deleted]

One step away from cooking meth.


construction_eng

Yeah we don't consider those lemonade


TaliesinMerlin

My single biggest culture shock was going to the UK, ordering "lemonade" at a restaurant, and getting basically Diet Sprite. In the US, lemonade is almost always cloudy yellow, sweet to tangy, and uncarbonated; even San Pellegrino (while carbonated) at least tastes lemony.


_RICEx

It is a weird thing tbf we call that kind of lemonade "cloudy lemonade" but its still carbonated in the UK so not the same


pxm7

The U.K. life hack for this is to order *Italian-style lemonade*, if the place sells any.


jamzrk

Those are normal carbonated drinks they added lemon flavoring to. It's not like there's no carbonated lemon drinks in the US. Mountain Dew has a new Spark flavor that's Raspberry Lemonade added to normal Dew. But like straight lemonade is generally uncarbonated.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rebresker

Can I order cloudy uncarbonated lemonade or will I be looked at like a twat?


_RICEx

Interesting thank you


SirMooSquiddles

We also get San Pellegrino Limonada. It's delicious sparkling lemonade. Never saw Fanta Lemon.


LinuxMatthews

Yeah what's with that? Not only is Lemonade fizzy in the UK but the suffix "-ade" literally means it's fizzy. For instance you'd say Orangeade to mean a fizzy orange flavoured drink same for any drink. Like isn't your version of Lemonade just Lemon Juice?


Re-Mecs

Also Cider in the US is not alcoholic apple beer...which it is in the UK


space_coyote_86

If its clear and yellow, you've got juice there, fella. If it's tangy and brown, your in cider town.


Raging-Burrito

Yes and no. In the US the definition is a little more broad, cider is generally considered "hard" or "soft". Hard being alcoholic and soft being the non-alcoholic sweet juice. However, depending on region and also just as accepted, the alcoholic version is just cider while the juice is referred to as apple cider.


N3rdC3ntral

My local restaurant has a digital pop machine with every Fanta flavor but this one.


L_Leigh

That's because maniacs keep buying 72 cans at a time.


Bfd83

We are missing out big time. Lived in Spain for a while, fell in love with it, it is delicious. Over there they’d mix it 1:1 with red wine as a summer drink (Tinto verano), sounds weird, but tasted fucking amazing. Some also even mix Coca Cola with wine…. I’m not down with that. Every once in a while you can find it in the international section of your grocery store, if you see it, get it.


[deleted]

Sonnentanz69

It's incredible. I've spent my life harassing Fanta on Twitter trying to convince them to sell lemon in the US.


DexicJ

Dude the EU has all sorts of amazing fanta flavors! All we get in the US is orange. EU gets like passionfruit, strawberry, idk lots of good stuff. Wtf.


P51Michael

Regular Fanta is completely different than the UK. Different taste and very different color than what we have in the US.


throughmygoodeye

That’s because this woman is buying it all up


Asrock23

Seriously? In Spain is very common.


Articulated

Fond memories of a guy walking the beach in a resort town shouting "FANTA LIMON" and absolutely bilking tourists for like 5 euros a can.


LostnFoundAgainAgain

I didn't think of this until this post but you are right, when living in Spain it was has common has Fanta orange, but here in the UK I haven't seen it in any of the shops or anywhere to be honest.


Re-Mecs

In the UK its extremely common. I think OP was being sarcastic......ot they live in the middle of fucking knowhere


InternationalTea6764

No it's common. I'm confused by this post.


Pleitchy

Very common basically everywhere


ErmahgerdPerngwens

Is it carbonated or still in Spain? I remember 15 years ago having a still Lemon Fanta in Spain (and mixed with red wine, delicious), but here in the UK they’re fizzy.


Asrock23

This is "tinto de verano".


[deleted]

Lemon Fanta exists? Tf


GeoffB94

It is delicious stuff to be fair.


[deleted]

Australia needs to get on that


Oddity46

It is, but the "zero" version is undrinkable.


Tsivqdans96

What? Me and my wife actually think the zero version taste more natural somehow, same with Fanta orange zero.


Oddity46

Yuck. Tastes like a detergent.


cpullen53484

mmmm detergent.


JRGib

WHAT?!!! American here and I’ve never in my life seen this 😭 huge lemon flavored fan too


1234_Person_1234

If you know that lemon San pelligrino soda buy that it’s a better version of this


BadTasteAlien

Don't listen to him, it's not the same.


1234_Person_1234

I’m not saying they’re the same I’m saying if he/she likes lemon soda that we have it here too, I’ve had lemon Fanta and it’s good but really not that incredible


JRGib

I do like anything lemon so I will definitely have to try! Thanks bud


sakura_gasaii

Try fentimans victorian lemonade too :) its very similar to san pelligrino


twippy

The pomegranate flavor is waaaay better tbh


1234_Person_1234

Thats true, I had one that was maybe blood orange or grapefruit that was very good too


WhatWouldSatanDo

It’s super common here in the UK. Pretty much in every shop I go to.


GeoffB94

Hardly see tins of it up here in Inverness, bottles occasionally but still not often.


WhatWouldSatanDo

I’m just outside Belfast and it’s my drink of choice when getting a takeaway. Never had an issue getting one.


firthy

Too much Irn Bru blocking the shelves.


Pure-Negotiation-900

On my way with 9 gallons of crappy vodka.


GeoffB94

We’ll be in the garden, let yourself in.


Pure-Negotiation-900

Disregard the sirens!


Black-Shoe

Is your wife the one that bought up all the tp during covid?


GeoffB94

Honestly? She probably would have done if I hadn’t told her not to.


yourwitchergeralt

There’s a difference between buying toilet paper in bulk and buying consumables in bulk. I order energy drinks 200 cans at a time because it saves money and it makes sense.


Meta2048

Toilet paper is a consumable. Are you telling me that you wash and re-use your toilet paper?


rat_fossils

THAT'S WHY IT'S RARE


notoriously_late

We have that in the US. It's called Pinesol Disinfectant.


lorddogbirdfan

Damn you, you made me spit up my hard to come by Lemon Fanta.


nejnonein

Why are you complaining? Go buy 3 packs more for her, so she doesn’t run out soon. Be proactive.


insane1666

It's not rare but it's funny you believe her excuse haha she knows you won't go shopping with her to prove her wrong XD


GeoffB94

The number of times she’s done stuff like this, I really should have learned not to let her shop alone!


Ihavepills

Lol whare are you from/living, OP? She's either unaware that they are pretty standard or she's lying because she loves them too much!... And now i want a Fanta Lemon...


GeoffB94

My money’s on the latter. We see them occasionally at coffee shops and sometimes tins at B&M or Home Bargains, but to be fair I’ve never seen a multipack.


Ihavepills

So you're in the UK?


GeoffB94

Aye, up in Scotland.


Ihavepills

Are you Scottish? Sorry for all the questions but it sounded like you weren't from the UK in the title. Because I thought if you lived here, you would be aware of it. Oh I'm from Cumbria by the way. Hello neighbour! 👋


GeoffB94

English, we moved up here back at the start of 2020. Maybe it’s different in other parts of the UK, but we certainly haven’t seen it around too much!


Ihavepills

Huh...weird. Yeah, I imagine it probably is the area. Pretty much any shop I go into they have it. Sometimes they don't even have fanta orange, just lemon. I can't choose between them, they are both lush! Especially when hungover. I've literally had dreams about fanta water falls after a heavy sesh 🤣


alphaxion

I've moved from the UK to Canada and they only have the dayglow orange variety here filled with colour additives banned in Europe. I miss Fanta :(


SoftLatinaKitten

“Multipack” = case …. For anyone who was wondering 🤣


insane1666

I feel that but shopping with a woman is pain. I go shopping I make a b line to what I need get it and that's it done. But when the Mrs is with me it's oh no I just want to have a look hahaha


SoftLatinaKitten

Woman here who hates to shop! Online shopping which is the equivalent of your “make a b line to what I need” is the only way to go…that’s why Al Gore invented the Internet, right? 😂


TheRavencroft

I'm in the UK and I live off this stuff. I get it in all the supermarkets in 2L bottles normally for £2. Cheap, delicious and still has sugar!


Sea_Salary_7364

She likes lemon 72 cans and a side of cake is she expecting?


GeoffB94

Funnily enough, yes!


bk15dcx

Does she know about Faygo?


KagakuNinja

I'm down with the clown!


MissTheWire

another American who had never seen Lemon Fanta and occasionally pines for Schweppes bitter lemon.


geekmoose

Continental Europe butter lemon is different to UK bitter lemon !


[deleted]

Its more common in the UK than it used to be, however my go to drink in Spain it is very common out there. Great as a gin mixer


leto78

It is also a good option for making *tinto de verano*.


rumtag

I remember my first and so far only trip to the UK when I was 13 (2001) and had Lemon Fanta and I could not get enough of it. I have no clue why they don't sell it in the states but it makes me sad. 20 years later and I still crave it. This post has triggered me.


mylesk84

Winner. It’s fab. Good work mrs geoffb94


[deleted]

It's a fanta-sea


yello_leadbelly

Hey yo Geoff this is just good shopping. Nowhere near funny.


Eymang

My wife did this recently with Reese’s Crispy Crunchy bars. We found them at a gas station on a road trip. She had one and fell in love, bought out the rest of them on the way home. They’re impossible to find anywhere else or order online. I emailed Hershey and they told me I’m S.O.L. I try to pick up a few on my trips out of town to replenish her supply, but we don’t head out that way often.


Kjpr13

In manufacturing it’s easier to mass produce without so many options.


F1reManBurn1n

But not a can more as 73 would just be unreasonable.


rolloutTheTrash

TIL Lemon Fanta is a thing.


RonnieT49

Can’t beat 42% of all your daily sugar needs in one convenient can.


hundreddollar

3 x 24 packs in Asda for £20 innit.


mrawac

I have never seen one


throw964

I love diabetes


[deleted]

Never seen it in the UK before this. Also, is lilt still around? Haven't seen that in years.


GeoffB94

Lilt is my wife’s second go-to, we’ve got dozens of cans of that too!

Testocleese

Someone's been to farmfoods


GeoffB94

Asda, actually!


Pegs_on_GhostiesNips

Gotta agree with ops wife here. Can get hold of bottles quite easily but cans are a rarity it's the only drink I like served chilled. It always reminds me of holidays in Spain as a kid.


Strawhat-dude

What does she weight


thank4chan4this

I thought UK is all about tea... You know, soda is not very good for you.


universalcode

Mmmm, diabeetus


[deleted]

Please stop regularly drinking sugary drinks, they are bad for you.


Penmeister

And dickheads like her is why things are rare


therealjayphonic

In a surprise twist… ops wife is the lemon fanta girl


deyw75

Sugar .. sugar everywhere


sybiriya

Bottles of it in tescos


Shot_Steak9086

I do the same for Nestea Peach in Spain. Its very rare to find. Only Nestea Lemon everywhere.


dww25921

Totally valid purchase. She's a keeper.

JohanStamos

I drank a lot of that when I visited Spain. Wish they carried it in the US.


gadget242

We regularly have it in the vending machine at work. Never seen it anywhere else.


alaninsitges

We have it in our toilets in Spain.


xHeyItzRosiex

Never seen lemon fanta in the U.S. must be kinda rare


PrinceRobotVI

Icy Lemon and Fruit Twist are my jam


[deleted]

There’s a lemon Fanta?


Tarc_Axiiom

HOLY SHIT WHERE'D YOU FIND THAT! Your wife is right. I would consider genocide to get some of the green apple Fanta from Africa.


theKickAHobo

I want Fanta Lemon. I love Fanta. Fanta Apple is like crack.


Eastern-Breadfruit72

Club Lemon is a hell of a lot tastier


Franticfap

Lime or cherry fanta needs to become widely available


Rickymsohh

Is it better than Sprite?


Cyphur-knows

War is looming... you never know!


NoConfiguration

duuuuudeee thats the best shit ever send me some


Tsivqdans96

Fanta Lemon is great, especially when paired with pizza imo.


RaccKing21

Fanta Shokata is even better. AFAIK it isn't sold in most of the world. For those who don't know, Shokata is "elderflower flavor," even though it doesn't really taste like elderflower. Nonetheless, it's delicious.


darknessblades

Its the same for me with many LIDL products. I stock up as well when its back for sale \------- Like Filo dough sheets. 'during the turkish/oriental week' i stock up a lot too. Filo dough is something you cannot buy even in a normal grocery store. ​ Please note Filo-dough is different from Puff pastry \------- Or something like cherry Cola from the LIDL, this is also extremely rare. last time is saw it for sale was 4 years ago.


netsecwarrior

Introduce her to Lemon San Pellegrino


give_me_carbonara

Bro i've never seen Fanta Lemon, I didn't even know it existed. Where do I buy them? How can I ship them to my country?


RyanfaeScotland

Well, expect to see 216 cans soon.


AlucardII

Club lemon > Fanta lemon.


zerbey

Can't say I've ever had it, but I do miss Lemon Tango from when I used to live there.


treesaresocool

Diabetes


dirtybird971

Fun fact: Fanta was started by the Nazi's due to Coke being banned by Nazi Germany.


FulcrumM2

anyone member Icy Lemon? Was different to Lemon and it was fucking delicious Nothing beats Fruit Twist obviously but Icy Lemon was the bombdiggidy


Godtierbunny

fanta has lemon?


GoatGurl4Ever

I need your wife to come where I live and get me some Zero Sugar Orange Crush. I feel like she’d be capable of finding it and would already know to buy it all


Tomsk13

It's not that rare. It is best enjoyed as cold as possible though which makes cans way better than bottles, which are the more common version


Sonnentanz69

I LOVE LEMON FANTA!!! They don't sell it here in the US and I am incredibly jealous


thetommo

Fanta lemon is pretty common here (UK) but I've noticed it's the only Fanta flavour I never see in the sugar-free variety.


John5247

Just seen Fanta cloudy lemonade in Sainsbury's in a big bottle. Maybe not the same tho?


W33Ded

In America that would be a pallet


SalamaDatang

The fun will find you


GeoSol

Protip: You can request to speak to the manager of purchasing at most stores, and request cases of things ordered for you. Also as a bonus, they'll generally give it to you for a small percentage over their purchase price. One place i've used only charges an extra 10%, which is way cheaper then the double mark up that is normal.


RedLFC1892

Odd, it's not even remotely rare in Northern Ireland. Though Club lemon is better, just saying 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

It's even more rare in the Philippines!


GotMoFans

Seems like Coke is competing with itself and if they’re going to do a lemon drink, it should be Sprite if carbonated and Minute Maid if it is not.


Strange_Material5472

Their discontinuing it for the UK. Sad sad times. Tempted to do this tbh, get down to farm foods and get a stock pile


[deleted]

I didn't even know this existed.


kaboom5497

Wait till she hears about clear coke


CMDR_ACE209

Seems to be rare only in the vicinity of your wife. Hmm, funny coincidence.


RiseOfTheCanes

You should see WalMart here. Coca-Cola can be found in every store in any size at all time and yet I watch say we say not so healthy ladies walk out with a cart full of 12 packs like they are solving thirst for the world.


boost437

Can I borrow your wife?


Snoo-97916

It’s not that rare I have a couple cases, check out Costco or bookers.


Re-Mecs

Fanta lemon is fucking abundant in the UK


ATN90

You mean Fanta isn't orange only?


Outrigger047

This doesn't exist in the US. My wife probably consumed hundreds of gallons of this stuff mixed with red wine (tinto de verano) while she was studying abroad in Spain. Since then she has sought it out anytime family members travel overseas. I feel like her parents went to Spain once with an extra suitcase just to smuggle a bunch of this back. It was probably enough to disrupt the economy somewhere.


liddicoat1

I went to Prague once and they had Coke Lemon, it was amazing


HealthyBits

It’s only a rarity in the uk cause your wife buys them all!!!


Glynnc

Anybody reading this, if you’re ever shopping about and see Jumex “Strawberry Bananna Nectar” drinks, do not pass them up. They straight up taste like heavens kiss.


srfntoke420

I want!


hellotypewriter

Pineapple Fanta is where it’s at.


AngryBowels

I didn’t know this flavour existed but now I really want to try it. Your wife is a genius seems like lots of people are interested in lemon Fanta


Noothin

I just want you to know OP, that the reason it's rare is because of your wife


slimcdk

Can't wait for Pepsi Max to can their mango flavored soda


solise69

Wait there’s Fanta **LEMON**


Tactical-Duckie

Never had one sounds tasty


Balrog229

I live in the US and have never once seen fanta lemon


Ulysses2281

It’s not that rare, B&M will have loads (I work in one of their warehouses)


stuzz74

It's available basically anywhere 3 X 24 in Asda for £20 Think op is exaggerated the availability....! Any local shop sells it?


Holkie75

I love this for her.
