ASDA is flogging cans of Fanta for just 12p a can. The Supermarket is selling 24 crates of the limited edition fizz for just £3. One eagle-eyed shopper flagged the saving on a bargain lovers Facebook page. "I thought I was reading it wrong but a 24 crate of Fanta for £3 in Asda this afternoon - a great bargain!" they wrote, sharing a photo of the drinks. The striped 'Beetlejuice' cans first hit shelves ahead of Halloween 2024, with Michael Keaton's face printed on the front.

The Fanta is 'Haunted Apple' flavour and is bright green. Despite the hype, not everyone was sold on the drink - with some calling it 'shocking'. "It’s supposedly apple flavour. Though the person who taste tested it and brought it to market clearly either hadn’t tasted an apple in their life, or lost all sense of taste during the multiple rounds of testing," wrote one. "It's not nice at all," added a second.
But it was a hit with other shoppers, with one writing: "I like it!". "Well worth a try at that price," agreed a second. A third said it was her daughter's favourite drink. This comes as Coca-Cola revealed it has made a huge change to Fanta's recipe. The fizzy drinks giant used to sweeten its sugar-free Fanta Orange alternative with just two ingredients - acesulfame K and aspartame. However, the brand's "new and improved" Fanta Zero Sugar soft drink now contains several different sweeteners which are likely to explain the changing flavour.
The new recipe drink is sweetened with cyclamates, acesulfame-K, sucralose, steviol glycosides and neohesperidine DC and no longer contains aspartame. However, fans of the drink have been left fuming over the change. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) one Fanta Fan said: "No idea what Coca Cola are up to but the new Fanta Zero is horrible. "Phenomenal downgrade on the old one.". Another said: "Coca Cola what have you done to the zero sugar Fanta in the UK?.
