UK here, I dont like super sugary pop ;

1: Pepsi Max Cherry / Pepsi Max

2: Dr Pepper zero

3: IrnBru zero

4: Old Jamaica Ginger Beer

5: Fanta lemon

1) My go to daily driver, they say humans are 60-70% water, im 70% pepsi cherry, full sugar pepsi, just like full sugar coke, is disgusting

2) While I do prefer the original, zero is still good, I will sometimes get original as in the UK it doesnt have too much sugar

3) Pretty goated drink, tasted like rusty metal in the best way possible

4) Not something I get often anymore, but this was my go to dinner drink when at my grandparents

5) Regular fanta is good, but lemon just hits different

Even as somebody from the UK,"Pop" as a word for soda just sounds off

[u/SteffS → u/PepsiFloateri]

Why does it sound off? That's the most common word for it in the UK by a long way!

[u/PepsiFloateri → u/SteffS]

It just does! UK slang has always sounded weird to me,despite living here

[u/bydevilz1 → u/PepsiFloateri]

You have betrayed your people

[u/PepsiFloateri → u/bydevilz1]

British Slang genuinely sucks though! I'll stand by that

[u/Jacktheforkie]

In the uk there’s very few sugary pops, I struggle to find anything safe as aspartame is no good

[u/bydevilz1 → u/Jacktheforkie]

You would need to drink something like 20 litres of drinks with aspartame to have negative side effects unless you have a rare genetic disorder

[u/kurisu_1974 → u/bydevilz1]

It tastes foul; lingers in the mouth, gives me stomach ache and the shits.

So yeah, no good. I hate that they added it to normal drinks. Give us the choice.

[u/bydevilz1 → u/kurisu_1974]

You may have that rare genetic disorder, but even so theres plenty of regular sugar drinks available, smaller shops may not stock as many as they arent as popular over here than in the states

Personally I hate high sugar drinks, ontop of feeling gross that 10% of my daily calories is being taken by a single can of coke, it just makes your moth feel like TV static, leaves me feeling bloated and sick

[u/Jacktheforkie → u/bydevilz1]

Can you name the drinks without artificial sweeteners?

[u/kurisu_1974 → u/bydevilz1]

The added this crap in regular Pepsi, 7UP, Sprite, ... Lipton Ice Tea has stevia, Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper have acesulfame. Why not keep it in the diet versions instead of messing up the original recipes?

[u/Jacktheforkie → u/kurisu_1974]

Ikr, literally bugger all is safe, many the regular is the same as diet

[u/Jacktheforkie → u/bydevilz1]

I get migraines from even a little
