Cola shortage?

[dantheman]

Aldi had no lemonade for weeks (apart from the really cheap 17p per Ltr stuff).
Was forced to go to Lidl
I protect my teeth by diluting it with whisky.

Good idea.

Personally I can't stand cola, unless it's diluted with rum - then it can be tolerable.

A pallet-sized space in Aldi today where the pallet of diet cola used to be.

Plenty of fizzy water, so I got some of that and a couple of cartons of orange juice.

Just got back from the local CoOp. They have plenty in there. But a lousy selection of ice creams.

My son has been helping the scouts today, they collected buckets full of coins from a wishing well, then cleaned them using diet pepsi. He said there was lots left over to drink. So apparently no shortage here. Or maybe there is now.

No problems here getting Pepsi max, the least foul of the diet colas to my pallatte.

Might I suggest trying a decent supermarket?

What, like Farm Foods? I've got the hots for Aunt Bessie.

You would have the hots for a hard boiled egg.

Two things. Firstly diet Lilt is impossible to find in cans now, secondly, if the sugar tax is behind the price rise, why has Coke Zero went up by the same rate as regular coke?

Are the bottles the same size though. 2 litre bottles still on the shelves. 1.5 litre for ordinary coke.

Because retailers are thieving bar stewards!

Plenty of coke in my cold JD at the moment.

I’ve noticed that too. It’s a total con. The companies have all taken the opportunity to raise the price of the diet products, maybe not by as much as the full sugar variety but the prices have gone up around 25p-50p on diet colas.
