passion fruit tic tacs
friday, 20 april, 2007 16:20 MAT (melanie australia time)
in australia, tic tacs come in passion fruit flavour. i've never seen or tasted passion fruit flavour in america.
they have passion fruit flavoured all sorts of things here in australia, including passion fruit flavoured sodas in multiple brands that include fanta.
i hadn't ever eaten a fresh passion fruit until i got to australia either. those are odd and i don't particularly like them. most people i've seen eat them like kiwi: slice in half and hollow out with a spoon the meatie insides. there's actually not much in them and have too many seeds. bleh.
they aren't something i'd recommend to tim for juicing in his juicer, although there are so many juice blends that have passion fruit.
speaking of sodas, it's really cool to try soda flavors in various places. Coca Cola Co must have solid marketing research to know what flavors ppl will buy where. Did you know that you can find chinotto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinotto )flavored Fanta in Italy? I doubt it would sell well here...hehehe.

That's cool. It's like passionfruit Fanta in Rwanda. Really tasty stuff. How come there's no passionfruit soda in the US?
