In the UK, most carbonated beverages now contain a blend of sugar and artificial sweeteners, in order to stay under the 5g per 100ml threshold for the "sugar tax".
Coca-cola "classic"/"original taste" is still available with only sugar, but typically at a higher price than other options.
- MagnumOpus 8y agoI don't think this is true. Last time I checked, the supermarket default options are still Coke/Pepsi/etc with 11g sugar per 100ml and zero artificial sweeteners. I haven't seen any sugar/sweetener mixes even after the sugar tax - they are either full-on sugar or zero-sugar.
- Reason077 8y agoIt's pretty much only "original taste" Coke and Pepsi, and a few premium/boutique brands like Fever Tree that are still full sugar. Pick up anything else (Sprite, Dr Pepper, Orangina, Irn Bru, San Pellegrino, generic brands, etc) and they are all reformulated with sweeteners or a sugar/sweetener blend. Even Coke has relabelled "Coke Zero" with a traditional red can/bottle and "zero sugar" in small letters, rather than the distinct black label that it used to have.
