I have often talked about how often Japan comes out with new Fanta drinks, and I always buy them intending to post here. But somehow I never get around to it. So this is a big post of all the Fanta flavors I’ve found so far in Japan.

So this post might just be of interest to Neil, feel free to skip it, I won’t be offended.
I could happily live in a very small area. I could spend most of my time at a single intersection, having to venture a whole block away to go to the supermarket occasionally. This is why.
The weather here has gone from extremely wet to extremely hot. As such I’m finding myself drinking more and more. To help me out, many of the supermarkets have started attaching free gifts to drinks, and bringing out new versions of old drinks.
I discovered Bingo Bongo soon after arriving in Japan, it’s some mixture of berries, and is fantastic. There’s a yellow fruity version which isn’t so fantastic. The other day I was in the Daiei before work, and this amazing bottle caught my eye.
It was a blue bottle of Bingo Bongo. Not only was it a delicious shade of blue, but it also had a Pineapple Pirate on the bottle. With Lemons and Oranges as the supporting crew. Few drinks can make such a claim.
Unfortunately, like so many drinks in Japan, it tasted terrible. I mean, absolutely disgusting. I don’t know where they get their pineapples from, but they don’t taste like any pineapples I’ve ever had. This blue bottle has disgraced the good name of Bingo Bongo.
As Kieran suggested in the previous post, CC Lemon is useful for fending off wild pigs. However I propose a change to the accepted norm, I believe I have found the new anti pig drink.
I present. Lifeguard.
The original bionic drink.
Dont buy one of those pretender bionic drinks. Only lifeguard is truly original, and bionic.
