Fanta Ginger Ale was a flavor of Fanta, first released in 1960 in the United States. It remained stable during its first 20 years but eventually discontinued in the early 1980s, presumably due to low sales. In 2016, it was re-released as a soda fountain exclusive only at sporadic regions of the United States. It’s unknown wether the actual drink is still being produced.

History[]

Fanta Ginger Ale got first released in the United States in 1960 in the original lineup. This lineup consisted of Orange Soda, Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Lemon-Lime Soda, and Imitation Grape Soda.

After its few years in the United States, its popularity was stable enough to be a permanent flavor for about 20+ years, releasing in other countries such as Canada and Indonesia, becoming Fanta's lesser-known flavors in the original lineup in the United States. Other lesser-known flavors: Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Lemon-Lime didn't have the chance to be admired compared to Fanta Grape and Fanta Orange, where all those previously mentioned flavors eventually one by one discontinued during their lifespans.

In 2011, after many years of being discontinued, it got re-released as a soda fountain exclusive only at sporadic regions of the United States.
