That stuff could really cut through a dry dusty thirst. As a kid, I used to get one Fresca, a 32 oz Gatorade and a Coke after riding a dirt bike over hill and dale for a few hours. Drank the Fresca and Gatorade fast and then enjoyed the Coke. Good times.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11
...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

I've generally increased the vodka content of my drink until the Fresca taste is tolerable with breakfast.
I've become a Coke snob, I only drink the Mexican version because it has no High Fructose Corn Syrup. Better taste, not syrupy sweet, little more "bite" to it. At least in my opinion.

Then reading, I found out why, the type sweetner has been changed 3 times since the original.
I didn,t think it had the "tang" of the original.
It's pretty good with tequila and lime though..

3 parts Fresca, 1 part silver tequila, wedge of lime, and a dash of salt over the rocks in a Collins glass is called a Paloma. IMO, it's better with Fresca than Squirt.

Maybe it’s a sin, but I’ve fount Absolut Citron and Fresca is a nice refreshing drink. They tend to go down nice and easy.

I haven't liked it since they stopped putting lithium in it.

When I was a kid my grandpa had a building covered in metal sheeting with Fresca advertisements. I always wondered what it tasted like. When they finally started selling it again ... yuck! Grapefruit
