What soda has grapefruit in it?

The prominent grapefruit‑flavored sodas include Squirt (U.S. classic, uses grapefruit-like flavor and some juice), Fresca (Coca‑Cola’s sugar‑free grapefruit citrus soda), Jarritos Toronja (Mexican grapefruit soda sweetened with cane sugar), and Ting (caribbean grapefruit soda made with real juice).

Has Squirt always been grapefruit soda?

Yes—Squirt, introduced in 1938 in Phoenix, has long been grapefruit‑flavored. It has always been marketed as such though variations like Diet Squirt (first using aspartame in the 1980s) have appeared

Why is grapefruit soda so good?

Because it blends tart grapefruit bitterness with sweetness and crisp carbonation, making it refreshingly balanced. Brands like Squirt and Jarritos deliver on flavor and fizz, while Fresca offers zero‑sugar lightness. That bitter‑sweet interplay, plus nostalgia and mixability (think Paloma), make grapefruit soda irresistible.

What is the most unhealthy soda in the world?

Generally the worst are high‑sugar colas or energy drinks loaded with sugar, artificial colors, caffeine, and little nutrition. Among grapefruit sodas, full‑sugar versions like Jarritos or U.S.‑market Squirt are less healthy than sugar‑free versions like Fresca.
