Fanta® Brings Back #WhatTheFanta in South Africa

31 October 2023 by Guest
Coca-Cola

Fanta® is excited to announce the release of its newest creation in the ‘What The Fanta’ (WTF) line – a unique dessert-themed flavour that for the first time ever combines scrumptious dessert-inspired notes with an enticing purple hue.

Brace yourself, Fanta community! The same Fanta® that you adore has been reinvented with a taste of dessert and a dash of fruity flavour bringing you an unforgettable fizzy adventure. Our newest release under the WTF umbrella, which forms part of The Coca-Cola Company’s ambition to continuously innovate and provide choices across our beverage portfolio, swirls the joy of a premium dessert experience with an aesthetically pleasing, Instagrammable purple colour.

“With great delight, 'What The Fanta' is back after a triumphant run in 2022 that clinched six prestigious awards, including gold at the New Generation Social & Digital Media Awards and SMARTIES Creator Economy, along with a NielsenIQ BASES Top Breakthrough Innovations in South Africa accolade,” says Ramokone Ledwaba, Marketing Director for The Coca-Cola Company in South Africa.

With no added sugar and the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, the new purple ‘What The Fanta’ is a delicious mystery waiting to be solved. Each sip will reveal a riddle for the taste buds, encasing an undisclosed dessert-themed flavour.

“Fanta® is renowned for exciting and engaging consumers with fun new flavours and inspiring campaigns. #WhatTheFanta brings together everything Fanta does best – disrupting the category by entertaining its growing fanbase while bringing innovative new flavours to market in exciting new ways to recruit new fans,” concludes Ledwaba.

We’ll take you on a fun and exciting journey as you run through the streets of Mzansi to find Novel Fanta Token (NFT) clues, which have been carefully dispersed among our participating retailers.

This campaign will also be amplified through influencer partnerships, digital executions, a television commercial, and exciting instant wins.

    Melktert – milk tart. One of South Africa’s most popular desserts consisting of a sweet pastry crust and a creamy milk filling, topped with cinnamon powder. Absolutely delicious!

    An retired elderly couple visit London..

    They get picked up from the airport in a london black cab and head off into the city for some adventure.

    The cab driver say \”where you from guvnor?

    Husband. \”we\’re from South Africa\”..

    The wife is a little hard of hearing asks her husband.

    \”What did he say?\”

    The husband turns to his wife and says louder \”the cab driver asked us where we were from, I told him South Africa!\”

    The cabbie continues \”I was in the merchant navy years back… I got to drop anchor down your way, a few times in Johannesburg\”

    The husband replies \”oh wow that\’s where we\’re from originally, now we\’re in Cape Town.\”

    The wife asks the husband again \”what did he say?\”.

    The husband again relays the unheard conversation \”the cab driver says he spent some time in the navy and went down to joberg\”.

    The wife smiles and nods.
