fanta-sy

Remember a few years back, those awful commericals for Fanta sodas; the ones with the five women and that tune that seemed to stick in your head all the live long day.

Well, I hope you didn’t get sucked into drinking the soda, which is made my Coca-Cola. Here is a great fun fact for you about that drink:

Fizzy drinks sold by Coca-Cola have been found to contain pesticides at up to 300 times the level allowed in tap or bottled water.

A worldwide study found pesticide levels in orange and lemon drinks sold under the Fanta brand, which is popular with children, were the highest.

The chemicals detected included carbendazim, thiabendazole, imazalil, prochloraz, malathion and iprodione. They are mainly applied to fruit after harvest to stop it developing fungal infections and rotting.

A total of 19 products were tested, all made by Coca-Cola. Of course, their spokesperson says the product is safe.
