It appears I may have a problem. In the States, I usually drink diet Pepsi or Dr. Pepper, but diet or "light" sodas are often unavailable in third world countries. When I travel Fanta is my drink of choice. Now, I have discovered the Holy Land. Orange Fanta was my gateway flavor. But then, that wasn't enough. I needed a new fix. When I discovered grapefruit Fanta, I thought, "Wow, it can't get any better than this!" It turns out - it can. Cambodia has the widest variety of Fanta flavors in the world. (This statement may not actually be a fact, but I've travelled through about different 20 countries, so I figure my research on this topic is fairly accurate.) So far, I have have added more flavors to this addiction: orange, grape, fruit punch, strawberry, sarsaparilla, and blueberry. I only found blueberry once, and never saw it again. Bummer, it was good. Currently, my favorite is sarsaparilla which tastes like Root Beer, only more sugary. You have no idea how refreshing a cold soda is on a blistering hot day after teaching in classrooms with no a.c. Strangely, as abundant as this drink is, I have yet to actually see a Cambodian drink it.
