I can't believe I'm doing another post about a soft drink so soon after the last one.
Well, maybe I can. After all, I did drink a lot of them in the past.
I have a feeling most people haven't heard of Citra, but it existed. Here's a picture of a can of Citra.
I never actually had a can of Citra. I only had it from a 2-liter bottle. Citra was a grapefruit-flavored carbonated drink that was around in the 1990s. The fact that I liked it is strange, because I don't like grapefruit, and I never liked any of the other grapefruit soft drinks I tried before this product came along.
Of course, it's gone now. I've heard that Fanta Citrus is identical to it, but I really don't know. Without having tried it or even seen it anywhere, I suspect that something is different--probably the sweetener.

Funny premise for a blog. My husband's favorite pre-packaged foods always get discontinued.
Nope, not familiar with this one either. Sounds good, though.
Haven't heard of it but it sounds pretty good. I don't think I've had a grapefruit soda before.
I like your delve into tragic historic trivia. And I know what you mean, happens to me all the time. I think, "I must be the only person who bought that." I remember Citra, it was an aquired taste...
Happy C & D Day!
Oh, I remember Citra. That stuff was outstanding, and I was bummed when it went away...
It was like, sprite/mountain dew/grapefruit juice. That, straight out of a bucket of ice on a hot day was like the nectar of gods. I used to have a cooler full of it when I used to install HVAC ductwork as a summer job...
Thanks for the memories!
