Snake-Pit Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) How's that working out?But -Good on 'em!Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke contain aspartame, Pepsi contain your unborn and Coca-Cola; Cleans your toilet; Now - I'm from a market that does not contain root beer or Mr. Pibb, root beer here is imported from North America or 'fake/imitation/home grown' root beer that I went through a phase of buying one time... Had the stars and stripes on the can as the label... There are other root beers I see - Mainly home grown for the caribbean market root beer which is - alll good; It's all good in the 'hood... But I don't know what's in my root beer unless I read the can. Edited July 16, 2015 by Snake-Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Since when man? I never heard this kind of a ban, especially in such a big city, my cousin lives there and as far as I know he does drinks Coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 They banned drinks over a certain size. Seriously. You can't buy anything over like 16 or 20 oz I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 16 oz. and I never heard whether it passed. And Dr Pepper doesn't have aspartame unless it's Diet Dr Pepper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Diet soda has aspartame. Regular soda uses either real sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Diet soda has aspartame. Regular soda uses either real sugar or high fructose corn syrup.Not in England, not recently; Not in my aspartame containing regular Dr. Pepper... Was happily drinking a 550ml bottle of it this year/last year; sometime like that - and I just happened to read it; I didn't read the ingredients for any other reason than 'just because', I thought I was safe with it, it being regular and not Dr. Pepper Zero, but to my horror I sawand... Didn't finish it, and that was the last Dr. Pepper I had, at the Subway in the food court @ London Victoria.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't finish it, and that was the last Dr. Pepper I had, at the Subway in the food court @ London Victoria..UK Variation United Kingdom's version of Dr Pepper, along with various other countries, is manufactured with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup (much like Heritage Dr Pepper in the US, as mentioned above). Since August 2014, a "New Improved" flavour has been marketed in the UK that reduces the amount of sugar from 10.3g per 100ml to 7.2g while adding artificial sweetners (aspartame and acesulfame k).

grouse Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I know I'm somewhat derailing this thread but I'd really like to know what you're local water tastes like? I mean for us it's pretty normal to get your water straight out of the fosset and it's standard practice to fill a bottle or two during the day, however I've been to countries where drinking water straight from the source is understandably a really big no no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
