In the name of “fighting obesity” the UK just unleashed a “sugar tax” on the British soda industry. Most (possibly all) own-label colas switched to using artificial sweeteners to avoid it (the nasty kind that make HFCS look good). I think Coke & Pepsi might be the only brands that opted to stick with sugar. I used to pay 42p for a 2 litre bottle of own-label cola. If I want to avoid colas with chemical sweeteners the cheapest option I have locally is £1.86, a 442% price hike! In Mexico I rarely drink soda apart from the occasional Fresca or Yoli so my Mexican diet is definitely better!
