@drizzellla I love it. I have also used it as a mixer with tequila and lime juice...a Fresquila....so yummy!

Did not realize it was ever gone. Not something I bought by the case, but I'd occasionally have a Fresca. I like Squirt as a refreshing beverage too.

I love Fresca, but unfortunately I am on a medication that I cannot have grapefruit. I sure miss it, I use to mix it with my water in my young days, made me feel like I was healthy....lol....but it sure was good ice cold on a hot summer day.

I love grapefruit and I remember liking Fresca, so it's nice it's back.  I barely ever drink soda now, but I bet it's great as a mixer in cocktails!

I had read that grapefruit interacts with the absorption of some statins, atorvastatin (Lipitor), simvastatin (Zocor), and lovastatin (Altoprev) .

However, grapefruit has no known interactions with rosuvastatin (Crestor), pravastatin (Pravachol), fluvastatin (Lescol), or pitavastatin (Livalo)

Has the "recipe" improved or are they still using bad sweeteners?

I used to love it way back when.  I remember that it had a bite to it, kind of pucker!  I don't think I could drink it now as it would probably give me a sour stomach!

I wasn't a fan of Fresca but used to drink Tab soda.  Now I drink diet-coke on occasion.
