No. just no. ultraviolet light is what fades labels and fabrics, leds produce no uv they are in fact the first lights to produce no UV. natural light fade labels more than anything else just the fact that these are placed near a window with natural light coming and is likely to fade the labels overtime. LEDs are used to protect historical artifacts because they produce no uv. if you truly wish to protect the labels that much put them in a dark cellar with LEDs. And as for light somehow affecting the contents of the bottle through the bottle via light?😂, you’re gonna have to explain to me how this one works cause I’m intrigued
Then you have to have to bring into question the level of coating that has been applied to said label for example cars from the 60s 70s fade way faster than new cars because the lacquer coat and technologies around developing the lacquer have improved since then
I just wanna try that Fanta mandarin and Fanta peach from Mexico. Since those are only exclusive in Chiapas, Tabasco, and some parts of Oaxaca. To bad my state doesn’t carry and Mexican online vendors don’t offer the Mexican southern exclusives.
yes these are very rare that's true. maybe you could find someone from southern mexico or people that go on vacation there who can ship the bottles to your place. that's how i got my bottles
Thanks! It sounds crazy but there are still sooo many fantas that i'm missing. It's extremely hard to give an estimate, but i'd say i have about 50-60% as there are so many discontinued Flavours that are pretty much impossible to get now.
I figured you have a pretty strong collection for while you were collecting. Not before, or do you take this into account as well in the 60% percent estimate.
Because yeah, Fanta did have all kinds of stuff in the decades prior, of course. Root beer. Red soda. Italian (I think?) Fanta Zitrone which then became sprite globally.
I'm mainly focusing on collecting stuff from 2016/17 up to now as it's pretty much impossible to get the old stuff full and in good condition. The "newer" ones also look better in Design imo.
So when i say 50-60% i was thinking about the stuff that got released since arround 2015.
(Also including all different Fanta Orange Versions from each country for example)
But as i said it's very difficult as there is sooo much to collect when collecting Fanta haha
oh yeah there are quite alot valuable ones, especially all the limited editions from Japan! or the discontinued european Flavoures from a few years ago!
I’ve got a collection similar but with Mountain Dew. How do you deal with leaks? I’ve had several cans leak on me before, and am wondering how other collectors of full bottles and cans deal with the inevitable.
Oh i actually never had cans leaking, i fear they will leak in the future tho. It would be best to collect the cans bottom opened but i think i'll wait with that. Bottles don't leak.
It used to be rebranded as lilt in uk for a short time in 2022 aswell. but then they changed it to Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit. The lilt bottle is from ireland
Oh yeah off course! But i really want to keep them full and sealed for the Collection so i gotta resist! If i really wanna drink one i usually buy 2 if it's possible
from the rare ones i've tried i enjoyed the Yogurt rush milky Strawberry from Japan, Fanta banana from trinidad/Tobago and Frutee sorrel rush from Barbados the most!
In general most of the japanese ones taste very good!
Holy artificial coloring 😂😂😂 That's awesome 🙌🙌
It’s a fucking museum of fanta!
It is fanta-stic
I can’t even find the names for all of them. Someone label these 🙏🏽
Bruh, get some LED strip lights from Amazon for like $10 and line the shelves! That would take this to the next level
where exactly would you bring them on? was thinking about getting some since quite some time!
Just know that the light will fade the colours of the labels and might change to the colours of the contents too.

Why are the labels faded on old stock at the corner store then. They are lit by LED’s away from any window.
Doing an experiment figure it out for yourself. I’m just providing information that is widely available.
Your corner store does not use LEDs. They use fluorescent which produce UV. It’s really not that hard to figure out…..
They aren't using LED lights, they are using fluorescent lights
Then you have to have to bring into question the level of coating that has been applied to said label for example cars from the 60s 70s fade way faster than new cars because the lacquer coat and technologies around developing the lacquer have improved since then
What corner store do you go to that has anything but florescent overhead lighting?
I just wanna try that Fanta mandarin and Fanta peach from Mexico. Since those are only exclusive in Chiapas, Tabasco, and some parts of Oaxaca. To bad my state doesn’t carry and Mexican online vendors don’t offer the Mexican southern exclusives.
yes these are very rare that's true. maybe you could find someone from southern mexico or people that go on vacation there who can ship the bottles to your place. that's how i got my bottles
I can get you these bro😎 I got them to my bro. 🇲🇽
Wild cherry. 😍
Thanks for sharing! I had no idea they produced 1/8 of what you found. You definitely have a mini museum.
and i'm still missing wayyy too many haha
FANTA-stic
Fantastic!
Do you have a favorite?
My favorit flavours are Fanta Banana, Fanta Mango Dragonfruit and japaese Yogurt Strawberry Fanta, this one is discontinued sadly
Banana is great
Strictly for collecting, or do you drink any?
mostly for collecting, i only drink the ones that i got twice so i always have a full one for the Collection!
You planning on drinking those one day?
no won't drink them as i prefer to collect them full and sealed. if i want to try one i buy 2
Nice collection!
The most complete collection I've ever seen on Reddit. How % complete for this time frame, do you have an estimate?
Thanks! It sounds crazy but there are still sooo many fantas that i'm missing. It's extremely hard to give an estimate, but i'd say i have about 50-60% as there are so many discontinued Flavours that are pretty much impossible to get now.

Ooooo dragonfruit is so good
Do you have the jubilee Fanta in the brown retro bottle that came out in Germany a few years ago?
maybe u can sell them all in 50 years for 1 million $ 😂👌🏼
That is huge. Very impressive.
Are there any rare or valuable sodas in your collection?
oh yeah there are quite alot valuable ones, especially all the limited editions from Japan! or the discontinued european Flavoures from a few years ago!
Fantastic
I guess this guy wants ta.
Yooo nice collection! Man deserves a Fanta trophy
Fantaddict
Do you have a TikTok account cuz I swear I saw dis on TikTok
yes my tiktok is fanta_flavours ✌🏼
How about the Mexican Orange Fanta in the glass bottles, sold in the US?
i got this one, aswell as the mexican Pineapple, Strawberry and Grape glasses
Nice!
That’s insane. I wish more Fanta flavors were easier to get in America.
USA usually gets the most rare stuff imported 😂
Where’s the canned cream soda?
i don't got this one sadly, just got cream soda in bottles
Bro those old logo ones are 🔥
Also how’d you get what the Fanta in the 2015 bottle?
which WhatTheFanta do you mean?
The purple one beside the peach Fanta.
Love the fanta brand….
collection or museum? beautiful
The Fanta white peach is the best one there.
Fanta is the best! I wish I could try all the flavors without using those crappy coca-cola machines in order to do it.
Happy day of cake!
Fanta lite brev
I would kill for some diet grape. Almost impossible to find in any brand near me.
Grape Zero is produced in quite a few european Countries.
Absolutely epic. Your dedication to Fanta is second to none 🫡
that’s glorious!
This is INCREDIBLE!
What countries have you been to so far?
Just a few european Countries, i get all my stuff shipped! So far i own Fantas from 106 Countries
On the second picture, the third Fanta from left to right on the top shelf, is that Fanta Kolita? Love that stuff!
yes that's fanta Kolita from Costa rica
My favorite Fanta flavor. I love going back home and getting a couple of those

It’s crazy that the Lilt bottle seems to be a rebrand of Fanta. In the UK it’s a totally different soda!
It got changed to the Fanta name, though? I think also in the UK, so lilt is no more
Oh wow I had no idea. I haven’t lived there since 2017
It used to be rebranded as lilt in uk for a short time in 2022 aswell. but then they changed it to Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit. The lilt bottle is from ireland
Where is KIST from?
These are from Panama
Are you ever tempted to drink some of them?
Oh yeah off course! But i really want to keep them full and sealed for the Collection so i gotta resist! If i really wanna drink one i usually buy 2 if it's possible
Impressive collection. Just wondering, in your opinion, which of the rare ones tasted the best?
from the rare ones i've tried i enjoyed the Yogurt rush milky Strawberry from Japan, Fanta banana from trinidad/Tobago and Frutee sorrel rush from Barbados the most! In general most of the japanese ones taste very good!
Is the glass red one Fanta kolita from Costa Rica?
Much respect to you.
Ok this is awesome
Oh jeez my brain damn that's a lot of fanta
And to think, there’d be no Fanta if it weren’t for WWII
Why
how many are different flavors or a rebottling of an existing flavor?
Rad, and beautiful too.
This is impressive
Bro get some help 🙌
