Was Cool Ridge always no sugar?

There was one flavoured water brand I tried a few times (Cool Ridge or Pump) and stopped buying all of them when I discovered they contained sugar.

But then I found Mount Franklin and that only contains natural flavours.

There’s two new varieties named for Lewis Hamilton (red can) and Valentino Rossi (yellow can). The latter is apparently citrus flavour, no idea about the former.

No, they changed the flavoured water to no sugar maybe 12-18 months ago using natural flavours and not artificially sweetened.

They should promote that because I had no idea and people are looking for sugar free alternatives.

You’re thinking of Monster! This new Mother isn’t the yellow Passion which has been out for a while. Didn’t have a pic either so I have no idea what it is yet!

Right you are. Carry on.

Try bringing some decent chips out from the US. Tostitos are excellent, as are some Jalapeno flavours. Australia really sucks when it comes to chips.

More corn chips?

I’m sure they tried launching those at one stage. Or have I only seen in them in the international food aisle.

Does Australia has a big enough corn chip fan base for another brand?

They are round and softer than Doritos. Plus they have some decent flavours that aren’t just cheese or salt.

I miss Ruffles in Australia, I eat them whenever I’m here in North America.

Wow, memories just came flooding back. Ruffles Salt & Vinegar were the best chips I ever had!!

I’m sure I’ve had them. I think they might have them here in the aisle where you get tacos and burritos because they’re better for nachos.

Tostitos were definitely sold in Australia in the past.

Ruffles were good too. They sell the plain ones at Costco.

Indeed they do, but I like the Jalapeno ones.

Salsa Verde rocks.

Ruffles have more ridges which means they soak up more oil which means they are higher in fat. Which is why they taste better?

Ruffles haven’t been around for years! They were made by Arnotts. Also remember the twin packs? Sometimes the twin packs would consist of 2 flavours. I wish Samboy made chicken flavour again.
