          I think the point is, go even further and stop. Of course they want it, those who buy it. Once I stopped drinking sugar drinks, they started tasting really bad when I tried them once in a while. Started preferring natural juices instead. Love my juices. Still sugary, but less processed.

      Trouble with that in the UK is Coca-cola is the only soft drink really that hasn’t bowed to the sugar tax and changed their recipe to be full of artificial sweeteners.

      I absolutely can’t stand the taste of these sweeteners and some even make me feel kinda of bad after drinking them.

          Sorry to tell you but irn bru went from god tier to pour down the toilet tier.

          They did try to pull it back with 1911 version but it’s nowhere as good as it was before the sugar tax and completely uncarbonated and priced like it’s liquid gold.

        It hasn’t? When I was in Manchester in January, anything except the cans had a bunch of artificial sweeteners in it, in order to lower the sugar content. I don’t know if the cans are a small enough size to skirt the tax, or just not be worth raising the price over, but bottles of regular Coke definitely had artificial sweeteners in them.

          To be fair the sugar tax is so ridiculously harsh there is nobody but Coca Cola who hasn’t made their drinks taste horrible instead.

      As a mexican I can say that this will be really hard, mexicans love so much Coke btw we have popular alternatives like red cola, but I’ve only seen masons consume that product

        it won’t be hard when you understand that USA is selling you on their diseased junk just to profit off of you. We need to wake up to the fact that they are not selling us good products. They are selling us JUNK with no government oversight that is now full of GOD KNOWS WHAT just to keep it cheap, and turn a profit at the expense of your health and hard earned money.
