It's definitely sold and advertised here in Houston, TX (Wanna Fanta? Doncha wanna, wanna fanta?)

Only catch is it's limited to a few flavors.

In the Philippines we had:

- Apple
- Grape
- Lime
- Orange
- Root Beer
- Strawberry

And a couple more i can't remember right now.

I love it.

The strawberry and pineapple are my favorite, but the grape and orange are ok too.

The Fanta here in North America is not the same as it is in Europe (specifically Spain). It has a lot of pulp in it (not as much as Orangina, though).

Pulp? In a soda? Ewww... the stuff you're drinking might not be Fanta. I buy the orange flavor pretty regularly; never tasted any "pulp" in it...

Incidentally, I've also had Spanish Fanta (my family stayed in Benidorm for 2 wks. in 2002) and I can't see any difference btwn it and North American Fanta.

Maybe they've changed it since I was a kid... in the old days you could see little bits of pulp in the bottom when you first bought a bottle of Fanta. Orangina, btw, proudly states it has pulp. It's yummy. :)
