Are you a Fanta fan? Check out the commercial that started our discussion of the pronunciation. It's been years since we've seen it, but you just can't get that jingle out of your head! :) ruclips.net/video/bXg80W5vR8U/видео.html
Corn syrup is sneaking into British food and drinks too because we sold all of our decent chocolate and drinks to one of if not the biggest food and drinks company’s in the world during the last recession. This cannot be allowed to happen again this time. Save Mr Kipling etc.
I know a big reason for high fructose corn syrup is that it's cheaper - at least here. The artificial colors, I'm not so sure. Kraft Mac and Cheese got rid of its artificial coloring some years back so maybe things are slowly changing.
You should try Italian Fanta it has 3x times as much orange juice as the UK one. Honestly all Italian fruit sodas are the best since its not allowed to sell it without having actual fruit juice in it.
I don't think we've ever seen Italian Fanta here. We find aranciata and limonata from San Pellegrino. Also saw similar sodas from Fonti di Crodo. That was a fun find as Crodo is close to where my great grandparents were born.
Although I am a fan of orange Fanta(the UK version as I haven't the other two)the lemon Fanta is my favourite. Good vid, keep up the good work you two.
Great taste test, Ross had me in stitches with his antics 🤣 I love lemon Fanta but it comes in strawberry and kiwi, fruit twist, grape. I don't drink a lot of the fizzy juice as much prefer water but a wee treat now and again does no harm. The amount of sugar in them is staggering 😱
It really is amazing how much sugar they have, but I'm not a fan of the "diet" drinks. I know it makes people in the UK cringe, but I would rather drink slightly sweetened iced tea than diet drinks!
The UK soft drinks industry levy (SDIL) was introduced in April 2018 - aka 'The sugar tax' - was supposed to reduce sugar in food/drink... Drinks with more than 8g sugar per 100ml are taxed at 24p a litre - Drinks with more than 5g - but less than 8g - are taxed at 18p a litre - Drinks with less than 5g are not taxed, hence the 4.6g...maybe? 👍Great channel, btw! 👍
You should compare a Fanta exotic from the U.S to a British Fanta fruit twist one day. Then do a blind test between the zero sugar and regular versions. I had the grape no added sugar version the other day and it reminded me of the smell of my Victoria plum perfume doll from when I was a little girl in the 70’s.
Good Morning to you both, years ago we used to have an orange drink called Jusoda, I've not seen it for years, we also had Tizer and then Dandelion and Burdock, but of course I prefer Beer these days, have a great day
Hi guys Artificial food colourings such as Yellow Number 6 for example, is banned for use in the UK are it is considered a carcinogen, that causes cancer. Other artificial food colourings are also banned in tbe UK as they maybe can cause cancer, so we use natural food colourings and real fruit juice/concentrate in our drinks. I never drink Fanta as I prefer Tango or Pepsi Max, but I do love Irn Bru, Dandelion and burdock and Lilt.
Irn Bru is one that is very bright! We have a bottle and it does have artificial color in it - I wonder how they get around it? BTW, Ross loves Irn Bru and I love Dandelion and Burdock!
@@FinnLovesFood Hi, I think the amount of that colouring in Irn Bru comes inline with EU ruling, so its doesn't seem that it is banned outright, i think another UK drink Lucozade still uses it too or at least it use to. but any drink or food which contains this colour which is rare nowadays as i think most have turned to natural colours has to have a health warning on the packaging as it was also linked to hyperactivity in children. i don't drink either of these as i'm not very keen on them.
I would prefer more natural. Perhaps things are slowly changing here, but it would be nice for "more natural" to be more affordable and more widely available!
I love fanta, great video, i would love if you tried british Pepsi. Its bloody amazing. And could you show this comment on your video. My mates would love to see it. Thanks!!
I don't think we've see British Pepsi here. How is it different? We do see Mexican Pepsi and Coca-Cola made with cane sugar and it does taste different.
@@FinnLovesFood Well, I haven’t tasted it but I’ve Heard it’s great. Pepsi isn’t very popular here in the UK. But if you do find it it’s great. And pls tell the camera this comment. My mates would think I’m the bomb. Thanks again!
Hiya folks, do you get Lilt in the USA? if not i hope someone sends you some it's pineapple and grapefruit, really nice on a hot summer day with lots of ice.
We did try Lilt in one of our videos, but it's not widely available here. We found it in our British import store. If I remember correctly, we had hoped for more pineapple flavor since neither of us cares for grapefruit. I can see where it would be refreshing on a hot summer day!
We have other flavors of Fanta, but I don't think I've seen Fanta Twist. Every time I see Fanta this commercial pops into my head and it shows why I keep confusing the pronunciation! ruclips.net/video/bXg80W5vR8U/видео.html

Here’s a funny thing! I’ve got “soda water”;( well, ‘liquid’ soda) under the sink in my kitchen….but I would never consider it a drinks beverage!! It’s what I put down the sink to combat any oily/greasy residue from a baking tin!! 😳so when you say you are drinking the soda…..I think whaaaaaat? 😳😂😂 it’s just one of those “different word meanings” we have (like, whispering….Fanny pack 😉😆) we just never refer to soft drinks as a “soda”, unless it’s a “soda water” that you would have as a tot with whisky etc.so…if you DO come over here, do not select any soda “essentials” from the household items shelves if you fancy a fizzy drink! 😲😁. I also have soda crystals under the sink too…. A small blob, placed on an itchy mozzie bite, helps relieve it and neutralises the poison the nasty beast has injected you with! … mind you seeing how ORANGE the Fanta and the Crush was, I wouldn’t be surprised if that didn’t annihilate a living mozzie too!! 😱😱🤣🤣 sorry to mock your food and drinks though 🥺we are only “playing” with you (brutal British humour, takes no prisoners…🤣) still loving you both and Finn lots 🥰
You must be referring to baking soda? We use it sometimes with vinegar to clear drains! We actually have regional words for "soda" in the U.S. Some regions call it pop or soda pop and in the South it's coke...even if it's not Coca Cola!

@@FinnLovesFood i believe Helen is referring to Soda Crystals, aka Washing Soda... "soda crystals are not exactly the same as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda. Soda crystals are sodium carbonate decahydrate, which is chemically similar to baking soda. However, soda crystals are more alkaline and so are better, for example, at removing grease and stains."
I think what you are trying to saying to say is... the uk one not only looks like real orange juice but tastes like real orange juice whereas the US ones are synthetically coloured and far too sweet.... full of chemicals.
It's this memorable song from this most well-known Fanta commercial that started the conversation! ruclips.net/video/bXg80W5vR8U/видео.html It seems they wanted it to rhyme better with "wanna" for the song. :)
Fascinating the debate between US and UK eggs. The US insists the eggs must be washed at a certain temperature, and refrigerated, Europe goes with the idea that eggs come with natural protection, which washing removes - who knows? Scientists, you think should know, but seem to fundamentally, disagree!? - still, I'll go on enjoying eggs, as I'm sure you lot will.🤔
We will still enjoy our eggs! There are so many warnings now about eating eggs with runny yolks. I've eaten plenty of fried eggs with runny yolks and raw cookie dough and so far I've been ok!
International pronunciation debates always amuse me. You pronounce a word the way that your peers pronounce it - there is no "correct" way. You say the "Fawnta" pronunciation is the Spanish way, which may be correct for Mexican Spanish, but Castilian Spanish spoken in Europe would have two "hard" Os. The same would be the case in northern England, whereas the first O would be slightly softer in RP. But Fanta was first produced by Coca-Cola Deutschland so I suppose you could argue it should be pronounced in a German accent like "Fairn-ta" This is how ridiculous inter-regional pronunciation arguments are. There's no right answers for the most part.
True, we can't even agree on pronunciations within the same country! I remember years ago when I was taking Spanish, I picked up a CD to help practice. As soon as I played it, I realized it was not Latin American Spanish!

Why does the us government allow that amount of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavourings and artifical colouring in their drinks?
UK coca cola is less sweet than the USA coca cola too
There's a huge difference between UK and US Pepsi too.
Because it taste good duh duh!

Probably a 'man thing'!
Fanta in the USA is SO orange, that can be "right"
So Finn loves food, what would you prefer, food as you have it in the US or like us Europeans with more natural stuff in our food?
I would prefer more natural. Perhaps things are slowly changing here, but it would be nice for "more natural" to be more affordable and more widely available!
First in! I love Fanta. I'm not keen on American soda, it's way too sweet for me. I love you guys too.
High fructose corn syrup is definitely super sweet!
That was fun! Tina, you are a good sport! Ross, shame on you! ;-)
😁
I'm from the UK. Never tried US orange soda but as a sweet lover I reckon I'd like it
You probably would. Plenty of sweetness in the sodas!
If you can find club orange from Ireland that’s another good comparison

Now try Sunkist lol
There is a UK version of Sunkist too?
Probably but I don’t know if it is different. Just thought of it because it is also very similar to Fanta and orange crush in the us.
