Frequently Asked Questions

What would my life be like as a Fantana?

Being a Fantana is about living life to the fullest. You should have a natural love of Fanta and always represent it in a fun, positive and refreshing way.

It's tons of fun and an amazing opportunity, but it's not a daily commitment. You'll be called upon a few times during the year to travel and appear with the Fantanas on commercial or promotional adventures.

Most importantly, you won't have to sacrifice your own interests. Being a Fantana would be just one part of your very active and exciting life.
