[edit] Flavors

Anyone have information on the flavors listed other than the 3 currently produced? Could someone have edited them in, using flavors for agua fresca? Or perhaps someone put FANTA flavors in the list.


[edit] Caffeine?

Does Fresca have caffeine?

-- No, it does not.

[edit] Before saccharin?

As I recall, Fresca's original sweetener was not saccharin, but something better that ended with "...ates". I started this page in order to get help remembering what the sweetener was.

[edit] New name for original

Here I sit drinking a can of Fresca, and it says "Original Citrus" on the can, not "Sparkling Citrus." So... which is it (dare I ask)? Search4Lancer 05:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

It says "original citrus sparkling flavored soda" 68.36.197.244 03:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Original Sweetener

I'm not sure if the original poster is correct about Fresca's original sweetener, but it sounds like he or she is thinking of cyclamate, which was banned in the United States in 1969. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BuzzDog (talk • contribs) 01:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

I want Fresca with real sugar! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jigen III (talk • contribs) 09:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Refreshing

I am enjoying some Fresca right now and let me just say it is goddamn refreshing. 68.36.197.244 03:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I had always thought the product was pronounced, "Freska." Then there was a recent homestarrunner.com cartoon in which the main character Homestar refers to it as "Fresha." I came to this page to find the correct pronunciation, and none was given!! Could someone edit the page to add it? 69.218.235.103 00:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)kielejocain

In the US, I have seen advertisements for the flavored varieties that pronounce it as "Fres-ka." But that doesn't mean that it is pronounced the same in other countries.

[edit] In New England?

When I was little back in the late 1970's, I remember that my brother and I weren't allowed to drink diet sodas like Tab or Pepsi Light as my mother was afraid of the artificial sweetners causing cancer. We were allowed to drink Fresca however the packaging was different than those shown on the Coca-Cola website. These Fresca bottles were clear with raised white snowflakes, it dissappeared for a while and was replaced with the "Sugar-Free Fresca" white cans that Coca-Cola displays as cans from the early 1980s. Could we have been a test market for something simmilar to the "Mexican Fresca" that you can find in neighborhood bodegas in the US today. (Mexican Fresca is very simmilar to the Citra that was offered for a short time in the late 1990's, although it seems to be a slight bit less carbonated.) I know New Hampshire where I was from was a test bed for OK Soda and home to a large Coca-Cola bottler. Any thoughts?
