    Papa Benny is a Fanta Junky! (update: or is he?)

    I remember hearing about the pop's prediliction for the orange bubbly before now but wasn't aware of the raw numbers until today:

    "Vatican spokesman Father Tim Finigan admitted that Benedict XVI prefers Fanta, and that he goes through at least three to four cans a day.

    “[Pope Benedict] always has it with his evening meal.”

    A spokesman for Coca Cola, who produce the Fanta range, admitted that the company was flattered to have the pontiff as a fan of their beverage. However theyve ruled out using the leader of the Catholic church in any ad campaigns.

    “We are very flattered to have the Pope as a fan of our beverages,” he said.

    “We will send him a few cases to ensure he doesn’t run out. But I don’t think we’ll use him in any ad campaigns.” - ANI

    Hmm, if he likes it that much, I wonder if he is giving it up for lent?

    It'd be a sacrifice: fanta is *really* tasty, and goes great with fresh Italian bread, as memory serves.

    update: for a healthy "sed contra," see the H of C. I should have caught "Vatican spokesmen Father Tim Finigan" (who?!), but I think it's at least safe to say that the pope likes fanta. I mean, right?!
