    In Italy already exists a flavour of Fanta that is based on bloody oranges, it's called "Fanta aranciata rossa" which literally translates to Fanta red orange juice, if you can find it it would be a more direct comparison

      I thought about that too. And he said the same about Coke zero so maybe it comes from the artificial sweeteners. I have issues with how those taste too but I never thought about classifying it as soap although it definitely ruins the flavour and leaves a lingering bitter aftertaste. It's weird when I first taste it though. And then I'll also have a migraine the next day so I'll pass on these drinks.
      And yes, I do think koriander (cilantro) does smell like soap and in larger amounts I taste it too. my brother does too. We clearly have the gene in our family somewhere.

    As someone in food service and has a coke freestyle machine, I had the exact same thought. Another thing you can do is take out certain flavors and if the fanta flavor "greys out" after removing the flavor cartridge, you can identify which flavors are in the soda

      You can sort of make your own if you mix Jagermeister and club soda. Fentiman's also sells a Burdock and Dandelion soda that gives a licorice vibe, although it reminds me a bit more of cough syrup than licorice outright.

Cause we dont have a tradition of eating pies at Halloween since we dont even celebrate it(sadly).

    Not sure if this would be a good idea for a video- I always wonder how seemingly random snacks make as the main airline snacks. For example how it went from simple pretzels and peanuts to specifically lotus biscoff cookies or quinoa chocolates (that was new to me on my last flight). I can’t help but wonder why and how those agreements are reached between airlines and the companies that produce those snacks. Would love to see a video on your take
