Fresca was always a punchline, but I think the joke's really on all of its critics. It's one of the best summer sodas. But I too can't abide that can redesign. It just ain't right.

It feels like the seltzer craze has overshadowed Fresca which is a shame because grapefruit seltzer is no substitute for a chilled grapefruit-tinged soda. I understand why it's not a high-demand item though, it's not something that works as a go-to order. It's an occasional drink and maybe there's no room for those in the market these days.

Yikes, I hadn't seen that redesign. Or maybe I have, and I didn't even realize it was Fresca!

Our local supermarkets stopped carrying fresca during the pandemic so I got into the habit of ordering it in big cases from random dodgy sellers on Amazon. It ends up costing like $3/can but my wife and I consider it a caviar-style culinary indulgences, a soda to drink at night with popcorn watching TV, when you want the fizz but no caffeine!
