Fanta's "Haunted Apple" flavor was created last year as a way to promote the (then) upcoming movie, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice"
I bought a case near the end of the flavor's lifespan, but still have a few left, so I figured I'd pop one open and talk about it.
It's not good. I'm not necessarily sure what I expected from a flavor marked as "spiced apple", but it tastes closer to a candle than an actual beverage.
The notes of different spices mixed with the artificial green apple flavor make for a soda that tastes the way Bath and Bodyworks smells in the fall time.
As I've slowly (and I do mean slowly) drank the case I originally bought, the flavor has grown on me, but I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't feeling adventurous.
I'm not entirely sure what test audiences they used to validate this flavor's existence, but I would like to meet them and ask what THEY thought this tasted like, and why they said they liked it.
