Holidaymakers have found over the years that familiar drinks like Fanta and Coke taste different when you are abroad, and anyone returning to foreign holidays after a few years of staycations may find that the taste has changed yet again. According to experts the difference is down to unique recipes used in countries around the world - with amounts of sugar and juice changed from country to country according to local tastes and regulations.
In the UK, Coca Cola changed the recipe of most of its soft drinks ahead of the sugar tax - which means they can be sold at a lower price as well as being less unhealthy, reports ChronicleLive. Recipes in some other countries have also been changed in recent years.
Since 2017, Fanta sold in the UK has had a sugar content of 4.6g per 100ml, and after recent changes Fanta Orange sold in Portugal and Spain now has a similar sugar content. But in other countries the sugar content is much higher.
