I don’t mean in a chemical way I understand that part

The US has extremely lax food standards, which allows companies to doctor and cheapen ingredients in ways they can’t in most of Europe. European law says that food must be made out of food. US law, not so much.

Green Fanta? I dont believe it

German Fanta, in particular, is amazingly good. I wish I could get it in the US (I’m sure there’s a specialty website for $10/oz but that’s drug pricing and I’m not that much of an addict)

In Tanzania the orange fanta is standard the same as the US, the pale yellow is pineapple, and the deeper golden yellow is Fanta Passion (passionfruit/grenadilla) and it’s the best soda I’ve ever tasted. Nectar of the gods.

The difference in Fanta colors likely comes down to regional preferences and regulations. In the US, companies often use more artificial coloring to make drinks look more appealing, while in Europe, there are stricter rules on food additives and a trend toward more natural ingredients.

So, the neon orange in the US could be a marketing choice or a result of different ingredient standards compared to the yellow in Europe. It’s all about what they think will taste and look best in each market.

In Australia we often call Red-headed people “Fanta Pants”, politically incorrect but shows our Fanta is an orange colour.

Because Americans love orange shit?

I mean, what else explains making cheddar cheese orange?

And don’t get me started on the last president y’all elected! j/k
