The original, "Beetlejuice," is a classic of creepy and dark horror. Many people seem excited about the return of a bunch of the original cast (and some new folks) as we approach the release of the long-gestating sequel, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice." Tim Burton is a hit-or-miss Director, but if this can recapture even a fraction of the wild weirdness in the first movie it should be a good time--I mean, Michael Keaton clearly is game. As makes sense for a big movie, there are various tie-in products. I saw one that caught my eye, a Fanta beverage. Titled, "Haunted Apple," and sporting a mysterious green color within the bottle, I bought it to try. Sadly, it was bad.
I don't drink sugary sodas 99% of the time now, having switched more to zero-sugar options, seltzer, etc. That said, every once in a while you want a Coke from Mexico (made with real sugar) or to try a new drink that isn't going to be around forever. I've had apple-flavored sodas before and thought a green apple soda from Fanta could be delightful! I took a swig and liked the apple sensation on my tastebuds...and then the weird spiced element hit me. Yes, this is like a cold spiced apple cider. I like a green apple flavor or a hot spiced cider, but a cold green apple cider? Pick a lane, Fanta, because you're swerving all over the metaphorical road right now, and it's nasty. I was extremely let down by this Haunted Apple soda, but at least we still have Jones for when you want a good fizzy apple drink.
1 out of 5 stars.
The package for the 12 pack drew me in. Plus the fact that we just watched this with Andrew and he was so scared he couldn’tv finish the movie 😂😂
