That tune has been running through my head on a continuous loop for the past 24 hours, and I would appreciate your cooperation as I regain full control of my brain. <\/p>\n<p>Now back to our regularly-scheduled review.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fanta-Pina-Colada-Outdoors.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fanta Pina Colada Outdoors\" title=\"Fanta Pina Colada Outdoors.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Among its rainbow of products, Fanta Pi\u00f1a Colada is an opaque white color and smells of faintly of coconut. The first taste is a mellow pineapple flavor that is all sweetness with very few notes of acid. The artificial flavor reminds me of the pineapple Lifesaver from the original Five Flavors pack, but is much more subdued. <\/p>\n<p>The coconut taste subtly smooths out the pineapple, but does not stand out immediately, revealing itself more in the aftertaste. Although the coconut &#8220;dilutes&#8221; the pineapple taste and prevents this very sugary drink from being too cloying, pineapple is still the star of each sip.  <\/p>\n<p>This Fanta flavor mimics that of a real pi\u00f1a colada (minus the rum), but the drink was not as refreshing as it could have been. Compared to other sodas, it felt more lightly carbonated, falling flat only a few minutes after being poured into a glass. To achieve the taste of a pi\u00f1a colada, Fanta had to go easy on the acid, but the flavor combined with weak carbonation prevented the soda from fully quenching my thirst. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Fanta Pi\u00f1a Colada contains no juice, no caffeine, and (clearly) no alcohol. Feel free to add your own!<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Coconut is pineapple&#8217;s supporting player in Fanta Pi\u00f1a Colada, a smooth, sweet drink that lacks a sharp element needed to be truly refreshing. If you like pi\u00f1a coladas (sigh&#8230;) better than bubbles, give this one a try. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $1.16 <br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Country Fair<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 20 oz. bottle<br \/>\t<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 bottle) 230 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 65 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 61 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Fanta Pi\u00f1a Colada?
