Fresca Peach Citrus Sparkling Flavored Soda
Fresca Peach Citrus Sparkling Flavored Soda
Overview
I love peaches. I love them so much that I married a Georgia Peach, and I choose to live in Georgia, the Peach State. But little did I know that my love of peaches would transcend my marriage and my state to a canned beverage.
Fresca Peach Citrus Sparkling Flavored Soda
One day as I was strolling through my neighborhood Kroger, a glint of light shone upon a smartly-packaged 12-pack of Fresca. I thought to myself “Fresca? isn’t that the drink that Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote about? Didn’t she write that Fresca was the favorite drink of U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, who had a button installed on the desk in the White House’s Oval Office which would summon his military aide to bring the drink?” I’ve got to get one.
Of course I hurriedly purchased it, but only after opening and tasting one of the 12 cans of Peach Citrus Fresca at home did I realize that come hell or high water, I have to have one in my fridge waiting on me at all times. Don’t come to my house and drink the last Fresca or you won’t be coming back to my house.
Made by The Coca-Cola Company, this drink is marketed to people with sophisticated tastes. I think the marketing message is mis-targeted: It instead should be marketed to people with taste buds.
Recommendation:
Buy this, the flavor is excellent and refreshing.

What is weird about Fresca is that it is a soft drink based on the delicious taste of grapefruit. Grapefruit have a sour taste. But there was a eat-only-Grapefruit diet craze way back when that was supposed to make us all skinny, though nutritionally deprived.
So I guess, after many years, the geniuses at Coke must have figured out that a sour drink was not as popular as a sweet drink, and decided to sweeten sour Fresca with peach flavorings, to make it less bitter.
Kind of like they did with the original Coke when they made it sweeter as New Coke and then switched back to Coke but decided to name it Classic Coke, I guess because the most famous brand in the world ever invented needed a new name. For some reason.
