fresca was NOT invented in the 1980's!! I remember drinking it in the 1960's and wikipedia says it was introduced in the US in 1963.

It is a product of Coca-Cola. What is it with soda companies that they think you need 65 flavors of a soda? Fresca is supposed to be grapefruit flavored, that is what made it unique! Now I can't even find the "normal" Fresca, only the peach or black cherry. Ticks me off!!

You can still buy this drink in it's originality. The original is only sold in Michigan, because it's made here.

Enjoying Fresca's comeback...but the original formula had changed from the eighties.

Fresca was officially introduced in the U.S. in 1966. 2nd Diet Soda ever. First was Tab in 1963.

You can still buy this crap. My husband loves it and buys it because he knows there's no risk I'll ever tough it even on the hottest of days. YUCK!

The original Fresca was really good, nowadays, doesn't even come close to resembling the original formula which really makes me ticked.

I love Fresca, one of the only sodas that I do like.I wish I would have been able to taste the original formula and saddened to learn that the current one is so far from it.

also - the original sweetener was saccharin which was at one point thought to cause cancer but was later proven not to - too bad because it was what made this drink so good. Aspartame is the current sweetener and it is the worst and has ruined this drink.

the original sweetener was cyclamates which was banned because it was said to cause cancer. it was replaced with saccharin which made it taste like liquid lead and saccharin was never banned. then it was replaced with aspartame which was better than saccharin but not as good as cyclamates.
