But I Wanted To Be A Fantana

I've been seeing these commercials for auditions to become the next Fantana.

I've never drank (or is it drunk?) a Fanta before, but seeing as I'm an expert singer and semi-professional dancer (not the pole kind) - I thought this would be an excellent occasion for me to be the new Fantana. I even thought of a new flavor - Splenda! (If you click on the Fantana link above, you'll even see the color of the missing Fantana is YELLOW, like Splenda)

Well, sadly I missed the June 30th deadline, but after reading all the rules - I realize that I wouldn't have qualified.

Contestant cannot have:
  • a musical recording contract - I wonder why this one is listed separately from the three below, I can only guess they value music more. Sadly, I have a kazoo contract.
  • a dancing, acting or modeling contract - does it count if I only have one of the three (dancing)?
  • a merchandising agreement - I don't like to brag, but I am the dog-mother of the Carpet Warehouse mascot, so I think this disqualifies me by association.
Apparently, I also would have needed to submit a video entry (I have no video camera) and an essay no more than 250 words in length. I don't think I could adequately convey all my love for the new Splenda flavored Fanta in less than 250 words. Sadly, my Fantana dreams are over.

  1. Jesse thinks Starbust is the winning flavor. In unrelated feedback, she indicated that the greatest clamity from and asteroid impact would be, "sand in our eyes."

    Feel free to ask her why she was thinking about asteroids.
