[We are selling it for £3.99 and
I've not had anyone complain about the price yet.
They are happy to buy it at that price.
"Some people buy it for friends too.
I have about 60 cases left and there
are 24 cans in each case.]

It's not "bad" but it's certainly not the same... the sugar content was basically halved. Yuck.

I'm a Coke Zero drinker these days anyway :idc:.

All because of some slavering, short tongued. middle-class, elitist, snob, chef. People have to go without. But don't worry, because Oliver doesn't have to go without anything he likes.

They're false. She used to have 61 crates but she drank one and all of her teeth fell out over night.

(tbh it doesn't actually taste all that different but it goes flat quicker and has a slightly artificial taste because they replaced half the sugar with aspartame or whatever)

The same thing happened with Lucozade a couple of years back, btw. Which is why Lucozade tastes absolutely FOUL these days. Irn Bru did a better job of making it taste more or less the same as before, at least. Lucozade is practically undrinkable.

They definitely have the old ones, just look for the red tag on the sugar content.

I mean, I don't, but what have I got to do with this?

I do hate the new sugar rules though, NONE of the fizzy drinks are very... fizzy anymore?

Absolutely ridiculous.
