What Does Fresca REALLY Taste Like?

fresca denver redheadwriting




Last week, there were quite a few words flying around. Many supportive yet some unkind.

Some were especially unkind towards the bane of my existence…my guilty pleasure: Fresca.

While the accuser never stepped forward to respond to my readers question about exactly HOW he knew Fresca tasted like…well…other stuff, I decided to hit the streets and find out first hand about the public’s perception of Fresca.

Enjoy.

    Flavors are fun, but the big question is: does it have caffeine?

  • http://www.redheadwriting.com The Redhead

    No caffeine. :(

  • http://www.3hatscommunications.com davinabrewer

    That’s not always a bad thing, just means it’s an occasional late night alternative.. after all day mainlining caffeine and my heart rate’s well past optimal levels. ;-)

    It seems that spiking Fresc is all the rage. I do like it with wine, though. GREAT sangria!

  • http://www.redheadwriting.com The Redhead

    It’s a great all-day drink … I’ll stand by that.

    I don’t think we have Fresca in Canada! Although, I don’t drink anything with carbonation so I’ve probably missed the Fresca boat. ;) haha

    It’s the ONE bane (that I’ll admit to) of my existence, this little bubbly can of goodness!

    I LOVE that you made this video and I’m also blushing with my hand over my mouth (no Fresca or Fresca taste-alikes involved) that you made this. And yea to all Sob-con-ers for participating. Big swigs and swallows to you, Cherry

    What better way to deflate an argument than to remove the basis of argument? *hugs, Cherry*

    I must say that I prefer the taste of classic Fresca. There’s nothing else like it. :) Great to see so many familiar faces in this video – fun to see some new ones!

    The taste of social media, indeed. I see a shirt in the making?

    I love ALL Fresca. I don’t discriminate, but I do love the flavors a lot right now.

    A t-shirt? Hmmm…

    Oh my. This is freaking GENIUS, woman! When I was a kid my mom was obsessed with Fresca but wouldn’t let me drink it because she didn’t want me having “fake sugar” at such a young age. But my mom was a working woman so when she’d leave for the day I’d go into her Fresca stash and steal a can. She surprisingly never caught on, but to this day Fresca reminds me of being a kid. I actually had no idea they still made it! Now I’m really craving one but don’t think they’re available in Londontown :’-(

    Tell you what, Marian – I’ll have a case waiting for you when you re-patriate your ass ;-)

    Hey! I love Fresca! I think I’m the one who turned you on to it….

  • http://www.redheadwriting.com The Redhead

    There are so many entendres in a comment like this coming from my ex-fiance that I don’t know where to begin.

    And yes, you are solely responsible for my Fresca affliction.

  • http://www.redheadwriting.com The Redhead

    Good gravy, m’dear – I never said it was a health food!

  • Sarah

    I have to admit that I’d never heard of Fresca before so I looked for it at my local store and lo and behold, there it was. I was fully prepared to try it until I checked the ingredient list and I saw aspartame. I guess Fresca will remain one of the things I never tasted in my life. (Full list available upon request ;) )

    I still love your vlog, though! More vlogs, more vlogs!

    When I was a kid my grandma used to let my cousins and me have Fresca (original flavor) and chocolate chip cookies as an afternoon treat. Mmm mmm good.

    And for all of you Caddyshack fans out there, who can forget this mention of everyone’s favorite beverage? http://bit.ly/cYbmIQ
