@Kabitzin, its both! It’s weird that they call a Sprite knock-off “cider” but I don’t know of any other Asian soda which calls itself cider. There is an apple Mitsuya Cider flavor which tastes like apple soda.

I was hoping for actual apple cider flavored candy, however. I love cider!! I feel miffed there wasn’t an exact cider match, but the flavors are all tasty in and of themselves. I recommend this candy if you like effervescent cola candy; just don’t expect an apple cider payoff.
