00:00Have I finally found a Fanta flavor that I'm going to take a liken to?
00:04Here's your spooky spot on the Fanta Halloween Strawberry.
00:27I'm here all day.
00:29Well, actually, no, that's not true.
00:30I'm only here really for the length of time it's going to take me to try and finish off
00:34what's left of the Halloween 2026 Fanta flavors.
00:38We've run through, I feel, a successful goal and gambit, running through the gauntlets of
00:43different flavors that Fanta churned out through Halloween.
00:46We first looked at the Ghost Face Punch, which I probably still think is the best of the
00:50flavors that they've done.
00:51More effort, more effort was put towards, I feel, the Ghost Face Punch than really every
00:57other flavor we've gotten up to this point.
00:59Short of the label that they've just slapped on this bottle, there would be nothing at
01:04all to tell you that this is directly linked to Halloween.
01:07I've even looked at this when I first grabbed this off the shelf, and I didn't even really
01:10recognize right away that I think that's a werewolf.
01:14Yes, that's supposed to be a werewolf.
01:16I thought, if anything, it was a music collaboration between Fanta and some pop artist that would
01:22not even recognize his name nor the music that he's been churning out as of late.
01:26But apparently, though, that is, with Shades On, a werewolf, as best as I could gather that
01:31to be a werewolf, this has also gone with very confusing characters.
01:35Dracula or the vampire was paired up with pineapple.
01:37What was that all about?
01:38The only one that really felt the most like Halloween was the jack-o'-lantern orange.
01:43And even then, calling it just the flavors that they are, I mean, Fanta, you have to make
01:48the time.
01:49And the budget's already gone into making a brand new label with the little drippy
01:52goops of black all over there.
01:54Why can't we just not have given it a different flavor?
01:57Now, I couldn't even think of anything I would have called this differently.
02:00If you want to use strawberry, I'm fine for strawberry.
02:03Strawberry, I think, is still one of the better Fanta flavors out there.
02:06But you have to do something more just than calling it a strawberry.
02:10And then putting on this nondescript character on the front, which, again, I don't think at
02:15all looks like a werewolf.
02:17We're going to go ahead and get this opened up.
02:18First things first, actually, this is 500 milliliters.
02:21It's 230 calories per, apparently, this bottle.
02:25There is a scan, a QR code, if you prefer.
02:28You can scan.
02:29I don't really know whereabouts.
02:30It's going to take you probably out to some woods somewhere or a lamb slaughter pub.
02:34And if that's the case, I'd probably stay far away from that.
02:37Let's also look here.
02:39Sugars, you're looking at 63 grams.
02:41Sorry, what?
02:4263 grams.
02:44You can't be reading that right.
02:45It's reading right, man.
02:46It's right there.
02:48Uh, we've also got, what, proteins, zero grams.
02:51Not that it really mattered.
02:52And then 60 milligrams of sodium.
02:55You could also spend time to look at the ingredient list.
02:58I just know, really, that all the ingredients you're going to be looking at is not at all
03:02going to be good for you.
03:02There's carbonated water.
03:04I guess maybe carbonated water would be the best thing for you.
03:07And then there's always, then, the Allura Red.
03:10The Allura Red would tell you right away that that's the wrong color to be drinking.
03:13When I go and shop for candy, just before we go to movie theater watching, I always really
03:18tell my daughter, like, try to pick out a candy that has a natural flavor to it.
03:22If it's got beets, if it's got blackberries, if it's got carrots, those would all be good
03:27things.
03:27When we look at things like Allura Red, which is right there, that's usually either linked
03:32to some squished up beetle or some chemically made color.
03:37By this point, I'm sure everybody has already dropped off.
03:40They're like, this guy's never really going to be getting to open around this bottle of
03:42Fanta.
03:43How long have we really just been yearning for this guy to finally try these blasted
03:46flavors?
03:47And he spends so much time doing this, and not nearly enough time doing this.
03:52Let's open this up now.
03:53The new and what I think is the final flavor for Fanta for 2026, Fanta Strawberry.
03:59Which, again, I think probably could have called it something better than just Fanta Strawberry.
04:04What would be going well with Strawberry?
04:06Oh, I want to make sure that that fizz isn't going to get out of control.
04:10That looks like that could get out of hand real quick.
04:13Carefully.
04:14Carefully.
04:17You know, while I'm also thinking of werewolves...
04:19Oh, here he goes again.
04:20He's not even going to get anywhere close to drinking this.
04:22I was also thinking, you know how Barks has root beer?
04:26Why not has Barks done a Halloween collaboration where it's Barks, right?
04:30Barks has bite.
04:31And slap a big werewolf on the front of their label.
04:34And then just call it Halloween Barks.
04:37Barks has bite.
04:37The werewolf has bite.
04:39I'm doing this all for free.
04:40Even though, really, this bottle will cost me a little over $2.
04:43Let's give this...
04:44Come on.
04:45Come on.
04:46Let's give this finally a try.
04:47The Fanta.
04:48Finally, the last flavor.
04:49Unless someone's going to tell me there's another 2026 Halloween flavor.
04:53It's nothing to do with really Halloween other than just there's a werewolf on the front
04:56and then there's dripping gooze of black.
04:58Give it...
04:59Just please, please give it a try.
05:01Let's give it a try.
05:02Fanta Strawberry.
05:09It's not bad.
05:11After all that.
05:13That is what little you're going to give to us, the viewing audience.
05:16It's not bad.
05:17It's strawberry.
05:19It's got a very good...
05:20Like...
05:21You ever had those little wrapped up strawberry candies?
05:23They're wrapped inside of a wrapper that also looks like a strawberry.
05:28It tastes very much like that.
05:30It's carbonated strawberry candy.
05:32Anything that you've had that's strawberry.
05:34Strawberry fruit roll-ups.
05:36Strawberry...
05:36Strawberry scented candles.
05:38Although I wouldn't really recommend ever eating a strawberry scented candle.
05:41But it basically is that.
05:43It's sweet.
05:44It tastes like strawberry.
05:45It tastes artificially like strawberries.
05:48I don't think a real strawberry has ever walked inside the doorstep and said,
05:52I'm signing up for Fanta.
05:53Now, they're going to be like turning you away.
05:55We've already got the Allure Red.
05:56We all...
05:57We have everything we need.
05:58And of course, we also have the artificial flavoring of strawberry.
06:01Go away, real natural fruits.
06:04We don't want anything to do in our factory.
06:07For flavoring-wise, it's pretty good.
06:09It would be one of the better flavors that I've had for Halloween.
06:12Ghostface Punch was, again, really good.
06:14Fanta's strawberry is really good as well.
06:16Orange...
06:16I mean, orange is orange.
06:17I guess technically you could say, too, like strawberry is strawberry.
06:20I mean, what are we doing here?
06:21We're mixing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
06:23In this case, strawberries to strawberries.
06:25It is definitely a far cry.
06:28Oh!
06:29A far cry from the dismal vampire pineapple that Fanta churned out also this year.
06:36What do you guys really think of this stuff?
06:38Do you feel like Fanta...
06:40They've gone this far.
06:41They've tried to make all of their universal monsters all hip.
06:44Let's make them cool so that anybody walking into the store...
06:47I wouldn't have even known right away that this was a werewolf.
06:50I thought this was just some hip DJ out in Europe that's scratching out the track.
07:00Instead, though, this is apparently a hip werewolf.
07:03And it's not really as hip.
07:05I mean, I've had strawberry Fanta before.
07:07Nothing really is all different about this.
07:08It's just the fact that they put it on as Halloween.
07:11Have you guys had the chance to try any of these Fanta flavors?
07:13Am I missing any?
07:15Is there any ones now that I still have to find?
07:17By the way, too, I can't find these at all in cans.
07:20Bottles are easy enough to find here in Canada.
07:22I can't find myself a can to save my life.
07:25Oh, speaking of saving lives...
07:28Not really that watching this video is going to save anyone's lives.
07:31But if you guys have certainly enjoyed this video,
07:34please do, of course, the solid and hit it with a like.
07:36And if you guys want to certainly also stalk me over on socials...
07:39Oh, I thought somebody was stalking behind me.
07:42Oh, hey.
07:43What are you doing here?
07:45No, no, no.
07:45You shouldn't be.
07:46You shouldn't be playing around with knives.
07:47If you guys also want to stalk me over on socials,
07:50you can find all of those social media links down below in the video description.
07:53And also, if you hunger for more, you thirst for more,
07:56maybe more Fanta?
07:58Not likely.
07:59But if you guys certainly also want to stick around and follow along this channel,
08:02you already know, again, all those links are down below in the video description.
08:05But if you also need your fix for more video content during the month of Spottober,
08:10of course, there's always going to be a spot for that.
08:11It's right here.
08:12Oh!
08:12Oh!
08:13Inside the videos.
