This shit is delicious, refreshing, and sugar free (aspartame blah blah)

Honestly my favourite hangover drink, plus it mixes amazingly well with gin.

Probably my favourite pop, and I'm not much of a soft drink guy.

Having said that, it was brought up in class the other day and apparently I'm the only one who likes it. I even had a cop laugh when, during a ride program, he asked "What are those cans?" thinking they were beer. When I said "no, it's Fresca", he chuckled and said "ok then" and sent us on our way.

So what does GAF think? Y'all like this or what?

Only thing I know about fresca is one time at a party a buddy dropped some fruity drink on the floor and made a huge red stain. A few minutes later someone accidentally spilled some fresca on the same spot and it cleared the stain up immediately.

Based on these results, I would say fresca is a fantastic stain remover.

One of its many uses.

Oh man, I freaking LOVE Fresca. I'm always so bummed because it's a Coke product, but never included on the 4/$10 sales that coke has sometimes.

It's a good drink on its own, but I love to use it in smoothies instead of Sprite or milk.

I know some people who can't drink it. If you have kidney problems, definitely do not drink Fresca, because it's made from grapefruit juice, which is not good for you if you have poor kidneys. My mother-in-law had a kidney transplant and they said she should absolutely never ever have Fresca.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Fresca's not bad. I like it. I haven't had it in probably over a year though.

Just imagine how clean your internals get after drinking it.

Fresca is a fantastic and deeply underappreciated beverage.

It's also never on sale, and only stocked in a handful of places in my area. My wallet am cry.

 

[BkMogul]

I love it, but damn is aspartame is made out to be worse than real sugar.

Rich people have great taste, obviously.

Here in the People's Socialist Utopia of Canada, that shit is everywhere. At least in grocery stores, not so much as gas stations and the like.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Had it a couple of times it's not that bad.

Dude Fresca is delicious your friend is lame.

Right? That's what I said. He's Italian and probably loves this shit:

 

[foxdvd]

fresca has real sugar in Mexico... I love fresca...

 

[Alucrid]

vodka goes in there

Lol no. Tequila and lime

 

[Switch Back 9]

Lol no. Tequila and lime

Hmmmm.....

SEE! IT WORKS WITH EVERYTHING!

 

[ReAxion]

how bout a fresca

 

[adamsappel]

Fresca is great. It's also the only soft drink I've ever encountered that actually goes bad. Do not drink it past the sell-by date, it tastes awful.

 

[BigDug13]

Popped in to say how good it is with Gin and I see OP has it covered.

 

[Goro Majima]

Fresca is great. It's also the only soft drink I've ever encountered that actually goes bad. Do not drink it past the sell-by date, it tastes awful.

Caffeine Free Diet Coke, for whatever reason, is terrible anywhere near the expiration date.

Fortunately it never lasts long enough in our house to get to that point.

They all go bad, matter of time. Try drinking a canned regular coke that's 2 years past it's date... ugh.

 

[backflip10019]

Fresca is delicious. Anyone who thinks otherwise has an objectively bad opinion.

 

[MutFox]

fresca has real sugar in Mexico... I love fresca...

Yeah the real sugar version is good, the other is for plebs.
Pretty much any grapefruit soda with real sugar is good.
San Pellegrino has a good one too.

 

[Jackson50]

Fresca is tremendous. I tried it for the first time after I read Tom Colicchio praise it, and I was not disappointed.

 

[Manmademan]

fresca has real sugar in Mexico... I love fresca...

wouldn't that defeat the purpose, since fresca is zero calorie?

Funny you say this. I just bought a Coke Zero from the neglected vending machine at work yesterday (late night, desperate), and it tasted like shit. I immediately checked the bottom of the can: Novemeber 2014!

 

[squidyj]

Right? That's what I said. He's Italian and probably loves this shit:

woah woah woah, there's nothing wrong with chinotto.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Every time I see this thread title, I initially misread Fresca as Frieza.

 

[God Dayumm]

I love fresca with white tequila. It's my favorite alcohol drink

 

[aku:jiki]

I hear Faygo Moonmist tastes exactly like Fresca.

 

[Machine]

I hear Faygo Moonmist tastes exactly like Fresca.

Not really, Moonmist is their version of Mountain Dew. Faygo 60/40 tastes more like Fresca.

 

[theechrisfox]

The official soda of grandmothers everywhere!

 

[wandering goat]

Fresca's pretty nice. My mom's a big fan and claims the cans taste different (worse) than bottles - I've never looked into it myself.

 

[BossLackey]

Used to drink the shit outta some Fresca.

Your friends are lame.

 

[Warm Machine]

They have been manufacturing it by the millions of bottles for decades so some people must like it.

 

[Alphahawk]

I'll drink it if it's the only thing available but it is definitely a second tier soda.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

vodka goes in there

You mean Tequila, right?


I love Fresca. Probably the soda I drank the most as a kid, along with Sunkist.

 

[Lanbeast]

Friends and I use to mix these two all the time. Delicious. Haven't been able to find peach Fresca in a good while though.

[SummitAve]

Would be untouchable if it had caffeine. The other flavors are alright too.

I reccomend the sparkling peach rockstar for fresca lovers.

 

[joelseph]

All clear citrus sodas are similar enough. Not really on my list of things to get worked up over.

 

[Rocketz]

One of my favorite drinks. Drink it all the time. Goes great with white rum and a lemon.

 

[Davey Cakes]

The Peach-Citrus Fresca is good. The blackberry one I forget.

Original Fresca? I've never been much of a fan.

 

[Rest]

I think I may have had that once. If I remember correctly, it tasted like soda.

 

[RangersFan]

Fresca and Pepsi Max are the 2 best tasting zero calorie soda's imo.

 

[way more]

Do you thing it's a slur to be weird?

I think you are the one with issues of being strange.

 

[Damaniel]

All that really needs to be said, right here.

Fresca's ok, I prefer:
