Want to try new Fanta Orange? £300 to be won for feedback! NOW CLOSED

We have been asked by the team at Fanta to find 200 MNers to try the new Fanta Orange drink and to then share feedback on Mumsnet!

Coca-Cola Great Britain says: "We know that lots of you are looking to reduce your calorie and sugar intake and here at Coca-Cola Great Britain we’ve been working hard to reduce the sugar in lots of drinks without compromising on taste. Since 2005 we’ve launched 28 drinks with lower or no sugar and reduced the sugar in lots of our recipes. We’ve recently launched a new recipe for Fanta Orange with a third less sugar than before - down to 4.6g per 100ml from 6.9g sugar per 100ml – and when we tested the new recipe people told us it’s the best Fanta taste yet. We’d love to hear what you think too!

"As well as a new recipe, the Fanta also has a new look and logo designed to reflect Fanta's fruity, fun and vibrant nature. The new look is complemented by a revolutionary new spiral bottle (available on 2lt and 500ml versions) which twists the plastic to form a unique, eye-catching shape.

"To celebrate the launch, we also teamed up with winner of Great British Bake Off, Candice Brown, to create two delicious baking recipes which show you can reduce sugar and not compromise on taste. Why not try out Candice’s Fanta Citrus and Blueberry Drizzle Cake or her Fanta Oat Cranberry Cookies yourself!"

Selected testers will be sent cans of the new Fanta Orange and a range of Fanta goodies to try. We will then send you a link to a feedback thread for your views.

Everyone who takes part and who shares feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one person will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

If you’d like to take part, add your details here

Thanks and good luck!

I drank mine months ago (July). It tasted like Fanta I think or was it like gin? Blush

pongopig · 26/09/2017 18:58

I used my Fanta bag today and it reminded me that I should check for the feedback thread. Guess we need to wait a bit longer!

MrsKnightley · 26/09/2017 19:02

Nothing arrived. E-mailed and told it was being sorted. Still nothing.

Groovee · 29/09/2017 22:49

Still waiting here too. It’s been a long while since we drank it too.

Acopyofacopy · 01/10/2017 19:29

Still no feedback thread, then...

Groovee · 01/10/2017 20:51

Will we be banned from future tests for not finishing this one?

BubblegumFactory · 01/10/2017 21:02

I had forgotten all about this Fanta malarkey.

AnneOfCleavage · 02/10/2017 11:26

groovee that is what I thinking too. I really hope this won't affect any future testing opportunities as we have been ready to leave feedback for weeks. It's now October and so DD and I drank it last night and it was delicious. She thought it was lighter in colour than usual but taste seemed the same - yummy!! Just love the taste of Fanta. It's so refreshing Smile

AnneOfCleavage · 02/10/2017 11:27

Oh well that can be my feedback Grin as doubt we will get asked now.

Groovee · 02/10/2017 14:25

Lol Anne! I can’t remember now what we thought.

NotShortImFunSized · 08/10/2017 19:18

Any update on the feedback thread?!

The can of Fanta has been perched on my bedside table since it arrived so the kids don't drink it by mistake.

I have been through two hangovers in that time and it's been sat there teasing me, staring at me and driving me mad that I couldn't drink it yet!

Please can I drink it now Grin

InMySpareTime · 12/10/2017 12:22

Is this a record gap between product delivery and review thread?

Bufferingkisses · 16/10/2017 23:11

HQ, can you confirm if this will still be going ahead and also are posters going to be penalised if they don't respond?

I love supporting the product trials on here and don't want to be "struck off" but equally am getting a bit fed up of having to remember to keep checking in just in case!

Bufferingkisses · 18/10/2017 19:29

Good to hear, thanks Ann Smile

Tortoise · 08/11/2017 12:44

Had a sudden panic thinking I'd missed it because id forgotten to check back. Looks like still nothing.

clairethewitch70 · 16/11/2017 12:48

Can we drink the can now please? Smile

AnnMumsnet · 16/11/2017 15:15

Does that mean there will be no feedback thread @AnnMumsnet

@clairethewitch70

Does that mean there will be no feedback thread *@AnnMumsnet*

Well, we are trying...and I will continue to try to find out what the plan is...it's not over YET!

LoudBatPerson · 16/11/2017 15:21

I think I will keep it as a christmas treat to myself Grin

InMySpareTime · 04/12/2017 15:19

@JustineBMumsnet any sign of a feedback thread yet?

AnnMumsnet · 21/12/2017 14:55

hi - sorry for radio silence and lack of feedback thread on this one...we were trying to see if logistics would allow for some more Fanta to be sent out to try as one can didn't seem to be quite enough, but unfortunately we haven't' been able to sort this.
So if you haven't yet drunk your Fanta, please do! And if you're waiting for the feedback thread, then wait no more!
Do look out for other product tests and chances to win in 2018 on Mumsnet Flowers Smile and thanks for being so patient!
