San Pellegrino
Discussion
ked by the race to cut sugar, apart from Rio (available from Costco)I'm so glad its not just me that's noticed this.
The sweeteners leave a horrible taste in my mouth.
How long before its discovered that sweeteners are so bad for you that you're better off with sugar?
Similar to the recent information that butter is much less harmful for you than margarine.

Anyone else noticed that these formerly nice soft drinks have changed to rather nasty? I think it's the sweeteners. It's almost impossible to find a soft drink that isn't polluted with artificial sweeteners.
Here are so many natural soft drinksKarma kola
Steep soda

The funny thing is they dont mention it on the can. Youd think if they had removed sugar for marketing reasons they would shout 'NEW SUGAR FREE RECIPE!' on the can... but you are left to discover the filth yourself. Or do marketing people think we wont notice and they are just doing it to save money?
There was nothing wrong with saccharin IMHO.

This really annoys me. I used to enjoy a fizzy drink once in a while but they're all horrible now. I was brought up in a time when these things were seen as an occasional treat not a drink to be had several times a day. I've always enjoyed them on that basis maybe drinking a couple a month on average. Why should I have to suffer just because the idiots can't moderate their intake.
Seems like Coca Cola (Coke) is one of the few mainstream brands to remain untouched. It will be a bad day when this gets it's sugar replaced with artificial cr*p.

San Pellegrino orange, really cold, used to be the best hangover buster that I know of. It's awful now.
On the other hand, San Pellegrino have introduced peach and lemon variants of iced tea, which are both lovely. Peach in particular, as it actually tastes like peaches, as opposed to ghastly peach 'flavour'.

It's owned by Nestlè who are actively moving away from unhealthy categories. They are following the health agenda at the expense of sales revenue..
Or because the sugar tax makes the original more expensive than the new one. Its why you are starting to see Diet Coke and Coke Zero priced cheaper than original Coke. At least buyers of Coke have an option to pay more and chose what they like, for something like San Pel the market isn't big enough to offer both versions.

How many pence on a tin would the sugar tax have been? I'd rather pay it and have something drinkable.
8p.Which doesn't sound much, but if you think a shop selling a can at 80p is probably buying it for 40p, less distribution costs of maybe 2p, means that the 8p tax is otherwise a huge amount of the 38p the manufacturer needs to sell them for ex-factory. The choice is either to increase the sales price of cut the sugar.
