What is happening with Sprite?

Sprite is just sugar free now. Its not sprite free or anything like that, just sprite. No sugar. That's it.

You could wallpaper up with sprite

Theyve changed 7up too... even the regular has less sugar and stevia instead. Still tastes much better thsn the zero stuff.

Sprite and Fanta are undrinkable now, destroyed by sweeteners. The saddest one of all though is the ruination of the San Pellegrino range of drinks. I used to love these but ever since they cut down on the sugar and replaced it with sweeteners they now taste horrible. Full power Coke is the only soft drink I'll go near now, or maybe a non alcoholic beer instead.

Club (the non zero ones) is one of the few that hasn’t changed since the sugar tax came in. I’d never drink Sprite or Fanta now.

No it was the first drink I’m aware of to move away from sugar , i also hear lucozade is useless for diabetic emergencies now as they reduced their sugar so much

Where you’d be longing for Mexican Coke that’s made with sugar, and not the high fructose corn syrup junk like in America.

I find Sprite and 7up Free are decent. The only one I'm not a fan of versus the original taste wise is Club Orange Zero. Just doesn't taste right. Meanwhile Pepsi Max someone tastes ten times better than full-sugar Pepsi.

I don't know how there's still Diet Pepsi \ Diet Coke etc

Who is still drinking them?

I find them undrinkable but the Max \ Zero versions are ok.

Everyone knows what he meant and he knew that and was just using a common phrase ironically.

It does if you are on the autism spectrum, but it's fairly common to be more inventive with language than strict logicality would dictate. 'Plus size' would usually refer to clothing, but one might want to talk about having a 'plus size' meal, for two levels of use - one being the irony of a plus size meal contrubuting to one being plus size and the other being the deliberate use of the term out of it's usual context, for linguistic affect.

My son has asperger's, and I am sure would agree with you 100%.

1-2 soft drinks a day is excess !!

Fizzy drinks are for children. Alcohol is for adults.

A normal can of coke is still 2 "servings" and more than 130% of an adults entire suggested daily allowance for Sugar

Soft drinks should be a treat not a daily indulgence , being diet while better than full sugar is still not good for you and 1-2 a day should be addressed .

Mammy says that flat Sprite isn't a cure for anything.
