Review: Fanta's new Ghost Face Punch Halloween flavor is A total scream. The Coca-Cola Company is back in the spooky spirit with a new Ghost Face Punch flavor for fall 2026. In 2023, Fanta got into the Halloween spirit by launching a mystery flavor. A year later, it introduced a new kind of horror in its products by partnering with movie studios and plastering its cans with the likeness of scary movie icons. This now annual affair is known as Fanta's Haunted Universe. In some cases, a character fronted a new flavor, as Beetlejuice got an apple flavor in 2024, and in 2025, that creepy doll Chucky earned his own fruit punch. For 2026's season of fun, Mr. Ghost Face, the infamous killer from the "Scream" movie franchise, is joining in on the fun, hoping to scare up some business in the form of his own punch. And what flavor does a punch that represents a knife-wielding icon who looks straight out of an Edvard Munch painting supposed to taste like? Apparently a dark berry. So, Mr. Ghost Face, is your dark berry punch scary berry good, or does it deserve a low Rotten Tomatoes score? The Takeout wanted to know the score for itself, and for you dear soda drinkers, and took a swig and then some to find out where the truth lies. Now all can be revealed in this sip and say. Boo-ray! Methodology. In advance of its national rollout in stores, the fine folks at Fanta sent over retail samples of the new Ghost Face Punch for taste testing purposes. The drinks arrived at room temperature and were refrigerated before tasting. This punch was tasted by me, alone, in the dark. Kidding. It was actually sipped on in the dawn of the morning light, for breakfast. This sip and say is a summation of my own personal tastes and thoughts. I also factored in my previous experiences with Fanta, its various flavors, themed drinks, and my overall impressions of this new one. The criteria considered for this review were flavor, presentation, familiarity, originality, uniqueness, punchiness, berry goodness, and, ultimately, whether this is something worth your time and dime. Recommendations are based on firsthand impressions of promotional materials and products provided by the manufacturer. Taste test: Fanta's Ghost Face Punch. From a design standpoint, the Ghost Face Punch can was Academy Award-worthy, with its stark blackness broken up only in the form of light from a blue, blood drippy Fanta logo, and still horrifying image of the "Scream" killer's mask. It almost seemed wrong to crack this one open, and instead, just let it be as a sort of ghoulish ornament for the home. Alas, this was a taste test, and I had to open my mouth almost as wide as Ghost Face's to see if this punch had any well, punch. I leaned in for a whiff and it smelled like some discontinued Kool-Aid flavor I encountered in my youth. The splash of purple of the flavor's name on the can was a dead giveaway as to the color of this new concoction. It's not a common color for drinks, but was totally suitable for Halloween, as purple is sort of the fourth primary color after pumpkin orange, pitch black, and witchy green. I took my first sip, and the first thing that entered my mind was the crisp carbonation contained within. That quickly gave way to the berry flavoring in its mix. It was polished off with a small, but welcome bite at the end, as it made its way down my throat. The more sips I took, the more berry flavoring it left behind as a lovely, fruity aftertaste. I kept trying to figure out what fruits were being mimicked here, and to me it tasted like a cross among red grapes, raspberries, and blueberries. Fanta's Ghost Face Punch - coolish or ghoulish? Ghost Face's can and the liquid's color are the gimmicks that lure fans and collectors in, but it's the soda that has to do the actual hard work. It does a fine job providing refreshment, fruity fun, and a punch that's quite an easy sipper. I'm not sure that's a perfect flavor profile match for a film franchise killer, but what should it be? Something that tastes like a knife blade? Fanta has been on quite a roll with its fun flavors over the past few years. I have survived the recent past horror-themed ones, including the interesting Beetlejuice apple flavor, and the good Chucky fruit punch. While not of a scary movie nature, but of a video game one, Fanta's recent Crimson Sour Cherry edition is one of the best new soda releases of 2026. I wouldn't put the new Ghost Face Punch on a pedestal that high, but it totally gets my seal of approval. Fanta Ghost Face Punch is a perfect beverage for Halloween and beyond. Who says the ghastly and yummy fun has to stop in November? How to buy and try Fanta's Ghost Face Punch.

More than 100 small communities strengthen their fire response preparedness. 26.08.2026 The National Association of Volunteers in the Republic of Bulgaria (NAVRB) is establishing fire response depots, providing equipment and training local communities with the support of The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation At the peak of summer and during the peak fire-risk season, the National Association of Volunteers in the Republic of Bulgaria (NAVRB) is implementing a large-scale initiative to strengthen fire response preparedness in more than 100 smaller communities across the country. The project covers towns and villages in the regions of Blagoevgrad, Sofia City and Sofia Province, Haskovo, Lovech and Pazardzhik, with a focus on prevention, preparedness and the ability of local communities to take appropriate initial action in the event of a fire. The initiative is supported by The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation and forms part of the partnership between the Foundation and NAVRB to strengthen the resilience and disaster preparedness of local communities. As part of the project, fire response depots are being established in smaller communities and equipped with the essential resources needed by local firefighting teams. At the same time, informational materials are being distributed to local residents, providing practical guidance on fire risk prevention and on coordinating the actions of spontaneous volunteers when an emergency arises. Particular emphasis is also being placed on training those who play a key role in the first minutes after a fire breaks out. NAVRB is providing training for local mayors and representatives of local administrations on initial response measures and coordination during wildfires. "When a fire breaks out, volunteers are often among the first on the scene and play a vital role in protecting people, homes and nature. But our work does not begin and end with responding to the incident itself. Investing in prevention, preparedness and knowledge is the most effective way to protect people and communities. This is why it is particularly important for us to reach smaller towns and villages, where good organization and available equipment can be decisive in the first minutes of a fire," said Dr. Yasen Tsvetkov, Head of the Management Board of the National Association of Volunteers in the Republic of Bulgaria. The initiative is funded through a donation of more than 100,000 euros provided by The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation to NAVRB in 2025 to support the fight against wildfires in Bulgaria. The funding is being used to provide off-road firefighting vehicles, specialized equipment and tools for field operations, establish fire response depots, and carry out public awareness initiatives to improve disaster preparedness among local communities. "For us, the true value of a partnership is measured by the long-term impact it has on communities. That is why, together with NAVRB, we are focusing our efforts not only on providing the necessary firefighting equipment, but also on prevention and community preparedness. We believe that when local communities have knowledge, organization and appropriate resources, they are much better prepared to respond during those critical first minutes. This is the sustainable impact we aim to achieve through our support," said Lilia Velinova, Customer and Community Partnerships Manager at Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria. The partnership between NAVRB and Coca-Cola HBC also continues through initiatives designed to build practical emergency response skills. Earlier this year, NAVRB experts and rescue professionals conducted specialized training sessions for Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria employees, covering disaster and emergency response, how to prepare an emergency evacuation backpack, and how to provide first aid.
