I mostly ask for it as Coke No Sugar, even though I’m sure if I asked for Zero they’d know what I’m asking for - but it just avoids any doubt or having to be asked if No Sugar is okay instead. I wouldn’t want to accidentally get Diet Coke instead.
Something I noticed on the bottle for that Raspberry Coke - that says it is a ‘25% less sugar’ version, with it having both sugar and ‘sweeteners’ - wonder why they’d be trying that, rather than just be Raspberry in the No Sugar coke, like the Coffee one was.
Hmm - I wonder why they’d do it with stevia, rather than just the generic numbered artificial sweeteners. I thought one of the problems with stevia, and the reason that Coke Life didn’t have 100% of the sugar replaced with stevia was that it noticeably tastes different to sugar?
I know that a lot of the UK drink makers are doing sugar reductions because of the sugar tax coming in over there - but I wonder what the main reason to do it here would be - especially as they don’t exactly promote the reduction.
Given how awful Spite Zero is, I’m surprised they could make a significant reduction in the sugar content of regular Sprite without many people noticing.
I’m kinda baffled by the ads right now promoting it as a lemon-lime drink - especially when the Solo Lemon-Lime exists and is the thing that I’d actually expect from a Lemon-Lime drink.
News.com.au understands Bega’s plan is to continue its rebrand of former Kraft products to Bega products, including from Kraft Mac & Cheese to Bega Mac & Cheese. According to court papers, some Woolworths supermarkets have already been briefed on what to expect.
Which is an amazing scoop given that Bega branded Mac & Cheese is in my local Woolworths right now - and some of the old Kraft stock has stickers on it warning of the rebrand.
These things take time. I’m guessing that KraftHeinz needs to source a manufacturing plant to produce their version of Kraft favourites. Who knows…maybe import?
In America, ‘lemonade’ = what we call ‘lemon squash’ or ‘traditional lemonade’, basically the equivalent to Solo or Lift.
Here, ‘lemonade’ = clear liquid with non-distinct citrusy flavouring.
In America, our style of clear lemonade is always known as a lemon-lime beverage. 7up and Sprite are the same in that respect. So I guess they’re just using the American description of it.
The fact is, if everyone knows lemonade in Australia as Schweppes Lemonade and that Sprite and 7Up are the same thing. You can’t just try to make people think they are something else now.
Especially when Scweppes Lemon Lime actually does taste like Lemon and Lime, as someone else mentioned.
So the regular Diet Coke design is changing again too? Although, the last design was hopeless because you can’t easily distinguish between the different varieties of cans or bottles in a shop fridge.
Seems like they keep changing designs every year now. And so many flavours? Sales must really be in trouble if this keeps happening.
