Always wanted to try strawberry pop since I heard it was a thing in something

What is a strawberry pop’s strawberry pop in the alternative?

    Find you some Jarritos. Mexican groceries will have them in all kinds of flavors, but you can also find a few at chain stores.

    There was once (it may still exist somewhere) a strawberry Crush soda that I remember having frequently as a kid. There was Orange, Grape, and Strawberry. There was a generic version called Shasta that tasted the same.

    I imagine Fanta is similar. Orange Fanta and Orange Crush are.

    Try it and see?

    If it’s the soda I’m thinking of, it’s sickeningly sweet, with something like 130% of your recommended sugar intake in a 20 ounce bottle — roughly 600mL to those outside the US.

    These days I can’t drink soda (or anything carbonated, like champagne and beer) but I believe I have had Fanta Strawberry before. I know it was one strawberry brand.

    But honestly, what olden days? The only strawberry soda I remember from back in “my” day (the 80s and early 90s) was Safeway Select. We didn’t have Fanta back then where I was. I remember Sunkist and maybe one other brand had orange and grape soda, but only Safeway had strawberry soda IIRC. And it wasn’t nearly as sweet!

    In Prince Edward Island and surrounding areas they sell a strawberry cordial which is basically strawberry pop as far as I can tell, inspired by the Anne of Green Gables books
