How retro.
Maybe they should try Tzatziki, Taramasalata, Hommus or Baba Ganoush next time

The tropical V is absolutely vile. Theyāve gotten an already shit product (V Sugarfree - not to be confused with V Zero which actually tastes fine) and added some flavouring that makes it taste like nuclear waste.
I always go for the sugarfree versions of soft drinks, so the new abundance of this stuff is great. Iāve cut down on Pepsi Max altogether now during the work week (too much caffeine in it), so Iāve been sustaining my soft drink urges on Schweppes Raspberry Zero and Kirks Sugar Free Creaming Soda. They both taste pretty average but it does the trick.

Thatās odd, I have the exact opposite view of the two, I like the V Sugarfree but donāt like V Zero.
The Sugarfree version of Mother is probably the best of the no sugar energy drinks, though none of them are really all that close to the sugary versions, of which V Blue is the best.
I certainly like that thereās a move towards things other than Cola being available with no sugar. They arenāt quite right so you need to get used to them, but things like Solo and Sunkist used to be the worst in terms of sugar levels, but are now readily available in the zero sugar bottles.
Hopefully Mountain Dew follows soon, itās about the only soft drink I still buy the sugary version of.
Hopefully the flavoured milk people catch up, stuff like Oak needing to pretend a 600mL carton is two serves and still be over 1000kJ is rediculous.
Iāve never touched the stuff, energy drinks, yeah nup, only hear bad nothing good anyway. Gatorade Iāve never really got until. Though I did used to like Powerade years ago (the blue one).

My Favourite is Farmers Union, probably cause I grew up in SA where it outsells Coke apparently.

Iāve had energy before but never liked them, sugar or sugar-free.
Used to have Gatorade/Powerade on occasion but stopped when I cut drinking soft drinks about four years ago. Donāt miss either of them really.

As do most flavoured milks, I think Oak Iced Coffee nudges 60g for the 600mL carton!
- Coca Cola has 64g of sugar in a 600ml bottle.*
Below is a table published recently.
Oak has about 13.5 teaspoons in a 600ml bottle.
Farmers Union has 14.5 teaspoons in a 600ml bottle.

Sorry but thereās no way that can be right!
Are you sure you didnāt accidently look at per 100mL? Per the 600mL carton, I was positive it was like 50g-something.
OK. I read that incorrectly.
Itās 13.5 teaspoons per 600ml. 9g per 100g.
Hereās the website:

There is a footnote on the Lion website. Those impulse buys wouldnāt include McDonaldās, pubs, clubs, restaurants, sports stadiums etc, Iām guessing.

I was gonna say!
According to the Coles website (although theyāve done bizarre āper 300mLā calculations) itās 26.1g.
So double it and Iād be pretty close?
Yes, you can get it at McDonalds, Hungry Jacks and Subway in SA (never been to Broken Hill).
There are a couple of Subway stores in Ballarat that sell it too, would be the managers choice though.

I thought supermarkets and manufacturers were looking at ways to reduce plastic packaging? Is a card box with individually wrapped contents better than a plastic pack and plastic tray?
You currently have a pack of 8 Wagon Wheel minis at Woolies for $2.50.
But now you can also buy a pack of 8 Wagon Wheel minis individually wrapped at Woolies for $3.
