@Sunshine Lemmy... I first thought it was a reddit post but it is not! A fedi reddit alternative? Yes please!

That's the only way they can get their corn syrup, as Europeans have better standards. Trump is about to fuck that up for them. /s

There isnt corn syrup in ours, seems Zero is the popular one anyway

I wish there was an alternative available in the UK that doesn't contain artificial sweeteners, but there isn't. Coke is the only commonly available carbonated soft drink that doesn't also contain sweeteners. I hate the taste of artificial sweeteners, and they're carcinogen. I know sugary drinks aren't good for you anyway, but I will avoid sweeteners at least.

Glad I am not the only crazy one who hates the taste of those chemicals. I remember how horrible it was when Ribena started using them. I also recommend Rocks.

RIP Ribena RIP Irn Bru RIP Rio

Some of my old faves ๐Ÿ˜ข

Sorry mate, I'm a total coke addict

You can blame me. Sprite Zero is about the only sugar free drink that doesn't taste like shit, and everything else took the sugar out and so Coke is the only one left for when I want a sugar hit. Yeah, it fucks your teeth up and makes you fat. My body my choice.

Honestly struggling to find decent alternatives in the UK that don't fall into the artisanal pricing category. Go past a quid a can and I might as well drink cider instead.

Cider is pretty good.
