I don't think there's a Fresca with actual sugar, is there? I thought it was always a nutrasweet beverage

i shouldn't have promoted white out as being similar to a sugared fresca. the flavour profile is far closer to mountain dew or cheap powdered lemonade or malic acid coated sour keys than the subtle grapefruit saccharine of fresca.
i feel like you want a sugary grapefruit soda. have you ever had mirinda grapefruit? how about ting grapefruit? i was going to ask about wink but then i looked it up and it was discontinued in 2004 or went through a rebranding and now exists under a name i've never come across.

you should try (lol) "neuro bliss" which has a taste I cannot quite describe but definitely has a citrus tinge: http://drinkneuro.com/products/bliss

I don't think there is non-diet Fresca just like there's no non-diet TAB.

God, I love Fresca but I always forget about it. I love TAB too but I never forget about that.
I can never remember what Fresca actually tastes like because nutrasweet gives me a nasty headache so I never have it.

It is light, citris-y and refreshing. Also, grapefruit but not at all bitter.

i want to go there so badly but its 30-35 hrs travel time each way and a roundtrip ticket is approx $5000pp ie $20K for us just to get there. Cant imagine what a sweet hut on the water would add to that.

Two of my friends who live in England went to the Maldives for their honeymoon. I think it's shorter than that travel time wise from there but not by much. I'm pretty sure it took them a full day to finally get to their island. They did have one of those sweet huts on the water and the pictures are AMAZING. They were there for two weeks and said that by the end it started to get a little boring because there's literally nothing to do except lie around, take walks and go in the water but I guess you don't really want to fly that long to get somewhere and then leave a week later. Anyway, yeah, I want to go too.

Yeah, I knew it was cheaper to fly from England cause those two are not loaded by any means. I think travel in general is cheaper from the UK. We don't really have anything like you guys do in terms of budget airlines and stuff. There are cheaper ones but not cheap cheap like you get over there.
