If you ever think of Fanta, you probably picture orange soda. Or possibly grape. I think they also have a red one, but Fanta is usually orange. Except for this fall, when there's a black Fanta available for a limited time. The flavor is a mystery, and we may never find out exactly what it's supposed to taste like. My wild guess is that it will taste like some marginally nostalgic ultra-processed artificial fruit flavor. Fanta's parent company Coco-Cola has been doing this with various sodas for a year now. They encourage people to try it and share their guess at the taste on social media. In other words, free advertising. The only hint at these mystery flavors is that they are designed to "fool the senses," so a black beverage could easily taste like egg nog.
But the real selling point for What The Fanta Zero Sugar is that the company says it will turn your tongue black, so if you get some, you will want to put at least one back for the night of your Halloween costume party. Or take some to school to share for guaranteed hilarity. -via Mental Floss
