I came across this can in the refrigerator of a foreign foods market. I couldn't read it, but the style was clearly Fanta. Despite the incredibly tiny text on the English language label, my guess as to the origins appear to be confirmed. It looks as though this flavor is from China. In previous posts I've mentioned how Fanta has many flavors that are regional in nature, not offered in other countries or sometimes even regions of the same country.
The soda has a pinkish-red color but I smell nothing from the top of the can. A first sip makes me reel a little. The taste is very pungent, much more so than the Japanese watermelon ramune I tasted just a short while ago. This has Fanta's candy-like fruit flavoring all over it. Its made with high-fructose corn syrup as is typical for countries where Fanta can get away with it in place of real sugar. If you really dig watermelon or you want a watermelon hard candy in a can to drink this is for you.
