Wanna Fanta?

I didn’t grow up drinking much soda. It was one of those things restricted to certain occasions, birthday parties, first communions, occasional school pizza party. Perhaps because they were such a ‘special occasion’ treat certain sodas have held on to their nostalgic quality. When I was be allowed to ingest liquid sugar I always gravitated toward the colored ones. Orange, red, purple, yellow, those were the sodas I wanted. The orange soda of my childhood was Fanta Naranja, a neon delight.
