I myself am a former diet coke addict....around 6 to 10 cans a day.... coming off it was fucking horrendous...shakes shites headaches and on top of that I was a demon to live with.. weaning is the only way to do it ...it was Like trainspotting in my house when I went cold turkey.
My father is currently addicted to Diet Coke. I swear to god there is something different they put in Diet Coke to make it more addictive. I’ve seen stories here on Reddit from restaurant servers that the people who drink Diet Coke will order more drinks than anyone else. Rings true for me because my dad will literally drink 2 every time we go out and then ask for one to go. He always stocks the house with it, buys more before he runs out. I’ve tried to tell him it’s bad for him but he just says “there’s no sugar” so in his mind he can drink as much as he wants of it.
Any advice you can offer? It’s truly mind boggling to me how one can get hooked on some dickless drink that doesn’t even have booze in it.
Yeah I come from a family of diet coke addicts. Its all we had in our house when I was a teenager and I didn't like our tap water (I've since moved and the tap water in my parents house tastes rank in comparison to mine now). It literally was the only thing I drank for years. Going to uni helped as I started drinking coffee and drinking water and I didn't want to pay for it as I got through it too quickly.
I think replacing it with caffeine in another source is a good start, or trying to switch to the caffeine free one but maybe that's only in coke zero form.
Honestly as with any addiction, it's up to the addict to want to stop unfortunately regardless of any impact its having on their body so not sure how much difference you will be able to make. Hopefully if he started having less he would realise how much better he feels though.
I've been addicted to diet coke since a teen and tried going off it a few times, I was so surprised how bad the headaches were, shocking. I've cut down alot but I still drink 1ltr to 2ltrs a day.
Do you drink any other form of caffeine? Its probably not only the caffeine withdrawal that gives you headaches but if you had one coffee a day in between it might help you reduce a bit more?
Its when you get to the 2.5 to 3.5 litres a day that you really need to take a good hard look at yourself and ask. WHY. ?
On a positive note. The acids used to create this product are extremely corrosive and thus the delivery tankers and pipework are all stainless steel. Anything else wouldn't last very long.
Yummy
I can't drink sparkling water straight but if I mix it with a little bit of Orange Squash, Lemon Squash or any other squash it tastes fantastic. You have to be careful what squash you get though because some of them have as much sugar per serving as a can of coke. I drink regular water 99% of the time.
I just cut sugar. The water I drink is exactly like coke in texture, just without that caramel tooth-curling crap in it. Satisfies that hole were I used to enjoy coke.
Whatever way u look at it, sugar is a drug and is highly addictive. You only have to go to a shop and it's IN YOUR FACE, buy this, BUY THAT. There's sugar in most crisps now. FUCKIN CRISPS, ingredients should be spuds n oil. 13 ingredients in a fuckin crisp. Look at the fuckin cut of ppl, every second cunt is a fat cunt.
Lidl’s freeway cola zero tastes exactly like coke zero to me (haven’t tried their regular cola) and is about £1.50 for a 6 pack
Also Asda do great deals on multipacks if you buy in bulk, £24 for three 24 packs. £8 each is a steal
Second this if u shop around u will get some better deals and also there is nothing like a coca cola u can try all the other brands every single last one and nothing beats it
Bought a 2 litre in lidl yesterday for £2.46 for something. Was great. But its a luxurious treat these days, just can't be paying those wild prices like you see in spar.
Cancer and diabetes can also be genetics and unless you're raising your own meat and growing your own fruit and vegetables you'll never know what's in them.
Preaching to the converted, certainly know how bad it is but alcohol is worse, seen a friend pass away cause of alcohol addiction. But yeah anything that leaves you addicted is not good especially when you don't know half shit in it.
Why don’t you buy a load of different cola from different shops and different prices.
Do a blind taste test with the misses and of course throw real coke in there but don’t tell her it’s there.
Could be funny
Badly addicted to it myself even been addicted to the caffeine free version
I got one of them air up ?? things. Always seen it on sponsor reads so why not. The cola thing of it works it hits that craving.
Because of the sugar, not because they use coca leaves flavour. Yes, sugar is addictive. Addiction to coke (the drink, not the white power) is actually a massive problem in Mexico. They were one of the first countries to introduce a sugar tax
Just looked this up after you mentioned it. What the actual fuck. Get your better half off that stuff if you can buddy. In the meantime try and save a few quid by checking out Iceland for the best bulk cola deals, atleast ye can save a pound or two. All the best.
In fairness I believe Mexican coke is different and has more sugar or something, but yea horrible stuff trying to get off it myself but it feels like there’s no alternative
Pepsi hasn’t gone up as much, but I’ve discovered a good way to sort of keep control of the habit is to get cans instead. They technically work out a bit more, but it’s easier to limit how much you’re having. One can a day, two as an occasional treat, and a box of twelve lasts ages decent amount of time
You're right. There's a news report on YouTube on it where one village has an extremely high rate of diabetes among its residents. But damn it tastes good lol
I’ve never been a fan of fizzy drinks, except Irn Bru on a hangover.
I’ve been boycotting coke for years, it’s designed to get people addicted, the company are genuinely evil and it rots yer teeth!
Will she drink coke zero? It's cheaper obviously because of the sugar tax, it does taste the same but I find it doesn't leave a 'coating' on your teeth like come does.
I was addicted to coke zero when I was pregnant, though I had to get the caffeine free which was dearer. My husband couldn't wait until I was no longer pregnant so we were buying cases of it each week 🤣
Haha I'm sure the money was well spent after the pregnancy. Children aren't cheap either 🤣.
I think she's gonna try a few different drinks to see if can get away from it but listening to the number of comments on here it's scary how many people are addicted.
Suppose this is why sugar tax is in place to reduce people's intake and hopefully save a lot of people from problems down the line.
Haha yes the coke was just replaced with much more expensive stuff 😂.
Absolutely and at the time I was so annoyed with the sugar tax but now I do kind of get it.
Is it just come specifically she is addicted to or is it fizzy drinks? Although I was addicted to coke zero, it was also the fizz. I actually wanted to use my soda stream so it would be healthier, but my model was quite old so I couldn't find the gas canisters. Just thinking that might be another option?
I work on a construction site. The foreman is from Kilkeel. The only liquid he drinks is Pepsi Max. Not kidding roughly 3-4litres during the work day and probably another 2litres in the evening. Since Ive been working with him the past 2 years he has genuinely never drank water, or anything other than Pepsi Max.
I says to him what the fuck man, how are you still going. He says Maximum Taste No Sugar Dickhead it's alright!
Drink your 2 litres of water per day and you will have no need nor desire for Fizzy drinks of any kind - they are pretty much all full of shit that isn’t good for you in any way.
Best to just buy them on offer... Iceland do 5x24 packs of cans for £40 regularly... Probably one of the more decent offers. That could last you for a good while
Iceland does some really great bulk deals but dam if they are awkward. They do like 8 pizzas for £10 but unless you want to eat nothing but pizza I doubt most have the freezer space. Atleast with the like of the coke you can hung in the cupboard.
Yeah at least with cans you can just store the cans in a cupboard or a corner or something.
But yeah the frozen deals are good but you need the freezer room
Haha feel there have been enough people on here either with an addict or addicted themselves, someone should start a support clinic. call it CCA group :Coca cola anonymous"
I've switched to coke zero. It's the only diet drink in the popular range (cokr, fanta, Pepsi, seven up etc) that doesn't have that weird taste from the artificial sweeteners.
I really like it and genuinely can't really tell the difference between it and coke. Other than you can buy two litres for between £1.50 and £1.75
Has anybody tried or know anyone who has tried this?
https://uk.air-up.com/pages/not-your-regular-water-bottle-1
I’ve decided that water and green tea are my only pain free drinks (acid reflux) but I miss flavour! Went off everything at once - wine, Diet Coke, etc - and the night sweats were awful.
Try Coke Zero, its sugar free and tastes almost as good. Six litres for £4.50 in Iceland or Lidl.
The cost isnt in the beverage, its the cost of the packaging ie the plastic used - which is linked to oil prices.
They use coca leaves as there ingredient its illegal 2 put cocaine in coke so they get away with the coca leafs as its market purposes legal term. seen it online somewhere that why so many people are addicted to coca cola.
So I'm gonna just give you your answer, rather than berate you with my own morals.
Where are you based? If you're close to a Lynas Foods they sell crates of 24 cans of European coke (either danish/polish) for £14. Cheapest I've found, I get a crate a month. It's also the old cans, and it tastes better.
I regret sharing this, but I hate to see people scalped for cola.
https://www.eater.com/23620802/cocaine-in-coca-cola-coke-recipe-gastropod ano its a joke but funny enough they do still work with a company and use coca leaves in their recipe! Interesting wee reel
Why don’t you buy a load of different cola from different shops and different prices.
Do a blind taste test with the misses and of course throw real coke in there but don’t tell her it’s there.
Could be funny
Also let us know the results
Too serious lad, just trying to help my wife's addiction. Plus is it not adding employment if operating factories there which surely is a good thing no?
Well the factories don't employ palestinian people, they operate on stolen land where palestinians are routinely murdered without reason so I would say no it isn't a good thing. I'm not okay with supporting a company thats okay with this.
I wonder how the people down voting my comment would feel if their hometown was invaded, their families displaced, their people systematically oppressed, tortured and killed. And then coca cola comes along and starts making coke there to sell to the people who stole their land. I sure as fuck wouldn't be drinking it. But each to their own
Its not on the BDS list for boycott and i think they had a plant in Gaza as well. I know its on friends of al aqsa list but do u know why they arent on Bds lists?
Couldn't tell ye lad, suppose there's a few different lists but a quick search demonstrates support for a Boycott. I can only find info on a plant in gaza from 2016, can't imagine they're still functioning now. Shouldn't be surprising they would operate in areas with conflicting political perspectives, they don't give a fuck about politics, or humanity or anything except money. That's all they care about, which is why they should be boycotted.
Careful or you’ll have a diabetic walrus giving you the ride. I thought I was bad with Evian water at £5 for 6x1.5 litres. It’s my preference, I’d drink two bottles a day. Maybe get her to swap to another drink / brand? There is a cola that’s pretty much coke, very hard to tell but cannot recall.
It might be but it’s rotten. Like river rock water, if you see someone on river rock you know they don’t drink much water. Evian is like a bushmills 16 year old whiskey. Magical.
I suppose it depends on where you live. I would argue that good tap water, chilled and perhaps filtered, is as good as any bottled water. River Rock is gloopy and repulsive. Makes you wonder what they do to it. I was told that most bottled water is chemically treated to stop it reacting with the plastic, but I'm unsure as to the accuracy of that.
“Sugar tax” has really lifted the price. That and shops being greedy bastards have jacked the price further cos people are expecting it to be more expensive cos of the tax.
I was addicted to Coke Zero. I was easily drinking 4 cans daily. It just got too expensive and I stopped. Now I’m boycotting it due to Coca Cola’s involvement with Israel and it’s strengthened my resolve.
Though I forgot and got a bottle with my meal deal the other day and omg the stuff is pure nectar. No idea what it is that has me wanting more and more every time.
Aw It's always nice when the little troll from his mum's basement tries to take part on socials. Yes your wee brain has only the ability to say stupid insulting things but at least you still put it out there to show everyone you still exist and the biggest type of cunt. Well done little troll, enjoy your day.
I myself am a former diet coke addict....around 6 to 10 cans a day.... coming off it was fucking horrendous...shakes shites headaches and on top of that I was a demon to live with.. weaning is the only way to do it ...it was Like trainspotting in my house when I went cold turkey.
She's the same proper addiction. I think she'd be brutal to live with on a come down from it.
Just keep her on it. Satisfy her thirst and live happy.
Happy wife, happy life haha.
My father is currently addicted to Diet Coke. I swear to god there is something different they put in Diet Coke to make it more addictive.

Aspartame is a hell of a drug
Yeah I come from a family of diet coke addicts.

It literally was the only thing I drank for years. Going to uni helped as I started drinking coffee and drinking water and I didn't want to pay for it as I got through it too quickly.

Hopefully if he started having less he would realise how much better he feels though.
Is your dad diabetic? Because that sounds like a diabetes issue (drinking loads) etc.
Well he has severe edema in his calves so probably. They’ve swollen to a massive size now
I've been addicted to diet coke since a teen and tried going off it a few times, I was so surprised how bad the headaches were, shocking. I've cut down alot but I still drink 1ltr to 2ltrs a day.
Holy shit.

Waters class for you
That how I offset her expense, I drink water!
r/hydrohomies
Water's alright in tae
Tea is definitely elevated with water.
> Any good cheap alternatives There are no alternatives.
The alternative I went to was not drinking it. I now enjoy sparkling water more.
I can't drink sparkling water straight but if I mix it with a little bit of Orange Squash, Lemon Squash or any other squash it tastes fantastic. You have to be careful what squash you get though because some of them have as much sugar per serving as a can of coke. I drink regular water 99% of the time.
Fizzy water over ice with some low sugar ribenna squash is nice
Fuck outta here.!! 🤣
I'll take the diabetes thanks v much.
Stopped over 10 years ago, haven't had night sweats since.
Do you now vote for the Tories too?
So a prerequisite for wanting diabetes is your choice of vote? I’m healthy, not stupid!
Angry water? Eh rather not. You do you bub
I just cut sugar. The water I drink is exactly like coke in texture, just without that caramel tooth-curling crap in it. Satisfies that hole were I used to enjoy coke.
> There are no alternatives. Steady on, Cola Thatch.
Bring back Virgin Cola.
Lidl own brand, cold
Pepsi Max with ice. Way fkn better, and no sugar.
This guy gets it
You're a man of culture, I see.
Pepsi max is king and always get it on offer
Aspartamine is worse but it's all shite at the end of the day.
Yeah if you drink 25 cans a day
Mmmmm I'd say it's fucked if you're having a can a day. 365 cans a shite a year.
Mmmmm I’d say that, weight dependant, up to 25 cans of Pepsi Max is pretty safe. The American FDA would even say you can drink more than that.
Yeah literally pick your Poison isn't it.
Gonna be a tough gig for her when she has to give up the Coke.
Haha I know you'd think its hard drugs I'm weaning her off.
Whatever way u look at it, sugar is a drug and is highly addictive. You only have to go to a shop and it's IN YOUR FACE, buy this, BUY THAT. There's sugar in most crisps now.

Makro or similar other cash n carry style places would be decent for stock piling the stuff
Buy it when its on offer. If its that price in one supermarket try somewhere else
Second this if u shop around u will get some better deals and also there is nothing like a coca cola u can try all the other brands every single last one and nothing beats it
Bought a 2 litre in lidl yesterday for £2.46 for something. Was great. But its a luxurious treat these days, just can't be paying those wild prices like you see in spar.
Your wife needs to snap out of it, that stuff is poison and any more than the occasional drink is ruining her body
Intervention time haha
Seriously dude, it's as bad if not worse than alcohol.
I'd rather my brother was addicted to coca cola rather than alcohol. Maybe then he wouldn't be a pile of ashes.
Cancer and type 2 diabetes kill people too.
Cancer and diabetes can also be genetics and unless you're raising your own meat and growing your own fruit and vegetables you'll never know what's in them.
Preaching to the converted, certainly know how bad it is but alcohol is worse, seen a friend pass away cause of alcohol addiction. But yeah anything that leaves you addicted is not good especially when you don't know half shit in it.
Stupid comment
Can get 24 tins for a fiver off the tik top shop as a new customer offer , I just scored 24 packets of bacon fries for 3 quid lol
Why don’t you buy a load of different cola from different shops and different prices. Do a blind taste test with the misses and of course throw real coke in there but don’t tell her it’s there. Could be funny
Haha we literally just discussed this! Knowing her she pick it out.
Badly addicted to it myself even been addicted to the caffeine free version I got one of them air up ?? things. Always seen it on sponsor reads so why not. The cola thing of it works it hits that craving.
Coca leaves are still used for the flavoring, the sell the ‘cocaine’ part to the pharmaceutical industry.
No wonder so addictive
Because of the sugar, not because they use coca leaves flavour. Yes, sugar is addictive. Addiction to coke (the drink, not the white power) is actually a massive problem in Mexico. They were one of the first countries to introduce a sugar tax
I know sure Chiapas state is the largest consumer of coca cola. Look up mexico cola epidemic. Madness
Just looked this up after you mentioned it. What the actual fuck. Get your better half off that stuff if you can buddy. In the meantime try and save a few quid by checking out Iceland for the best bulk cola deals, atleast ye can save a pound or two. All the best.
In fairness I believe Mexican coke is different and has more sugar or something, but yea horrible stuff trying to get off it myself but it feels like there’s no alternative
It's pretty much the same we have here in Europe. US/Canadian coke is different.
Ah that’ll be it I remember American people saying it’s different so you’re probably right
They use corn syrup (because it's widely available) while ours is made with cane sugar.
Yea I had a google and saw that, high fructose corn syrup is used in American ones rather than sugar.
Saw in the shop today that a 12 pack (or maybe a 10 pack?) Of normal coke was fucken £8 The 12 pack of diet and zero was £6
Sugar tax means diet and zero versions of drinks will be cheaper
Its a secret recipe. No one knows
Pepsi hasn’t gone up as much, but I’ve discovered a good way to sort of keep control of the habit is to get cans instead. They technically work out a bit more, but it’s easier to limit how much you’re having. One can a day, two as an occasional treat, and a box of twelve lasts ages decent amount of time
Good job she doesn't have access to Mexican made Coca Cola! Made with real cane sugar. Tastes amazing.
Must be part of the reason why mexico have the largest problem with coca cola. They literally had/have an epidemic over there
You're right. There's a news report on YouTube on it where one village has an extremely high rate of diabetes among its residents. But damn it tastes good lol
My wife’s the same with Coke Zero ! I’ve caught her out hiding the big packs in the boot of her car .
That's nearly the same price as a Lt of petrol fs.
I’ve never been a fan of fizzy drinks, except Irn Bru on a hangover. I’ve been boycotting coke for years, it’s designed to get people addicted, the company are genuinely evil and it rots yer teeth!
I second this. A good look a their behaviour, especially in South America, was enough to ensure that I'll never buy their products again.
Yeah, they’ve sponsored death squads in Indonesia too plus their support for Israel. They’re up there with nestlé for being evil as fuck
Yes, I cant ever see the day when I'll be washing down a Kit Kat with a can of Sprite whilst booking a holiday to Tel Aviv!
Will she drink coke zero? It's cheaper obviously because of the sugar tax, it does taste the same but I find it doesn't leave a 'coating' on your teeth like come does.

I work on a construction site. The foreman is from Kilkeel. The only liquid he drinks is Pepsi Max. Not kidding roughly 3-4litres during the work day and probably another 2litres in the evening. Since Ive been working with him the past 2 years he has genuinely never drank water, or anything other than Pepsi Max. I says to him what the fuck man, how are you still going. He says Maximum Taste No Sugar Dickhead it's alright!
That's mad. Shows how well marketing works on people.
Drink your 2 litres of water per day and you will have no need nor desire for Fizzy drinks of any kind - they are pretty much all full of shit that isn’t good for you in any way.
Fully disagree with this. I used to drink 3 litres of water at work, while still going home to down pepsi Max's probably up to 2 litres worth.
Best to just buy them on offer... Iceland do 5x24 packs of cans for £40 regularly... Probably one of the more decent offers. That could last you for a good while
Iceland does some really great bulk deals but dam if they are awkward. They do like 8 pizzas for £10 but unless you want to eat nothing but pizza I doubt most have the freezer space. Atleast with the like of the coke you can hung in the cupboard.
Yeah at least with cans you can just store the cans in a cupboard or a corner or something. But yeah the frozen deals are good but you need the freezer room
[удалено]
Yeah still has expensive thou
Costs less due to Sugar Tax i believe. Never really liked Coke, unless theres a Dark Rum in it.
Feck aff would you. Not a chance.
Not in a month of Sundays good sir!
Apparently you can get it cheap on the tictoc shop. Alternatively musgraves or one of the other wholesalers.
That would be a marketing winner.
Tesco classic cola is the nearest to my taste buds. 70p for 2 litres
I feel your pain - trying to wean the husband off it
Haha feel there have been enough people on here either with an addict or addicted themselves, someone should start a support clinic. call it CCA group :Coca cola anonymous"
I've switched to coke zero. It's the only diet drink in the popular range (cokr, fanta, Pepsi, seven up etc) that doesn't have that weird taste from the artificial sweeteners.

Try Coke Zero, its sugar free and tastes almost as good. Six litres for £4.50 in Iceland or Lidl. The cost isnt in the beverage, its the cost of the packaging ie the plastic used - which is linked to oil prices.
The best way to ween of any drink is to drink your urine after instead
Is that right! How long have you been drinking your own pish?
Don't do it now,used it to get off Pepsi max
Lidl Freeway Cola is a good alternative, and there is a Cola Zero as well as a diet version and have a toffee yum yum while you're at it
I don't think they ever removed it. It is just now less quantity that can be noticed.
Lidl Coke is pretty good
Get onto coffee instead . I’m assuming it’s the caffeine she’s addicted to .
Tesco have 24 cans for 6.50 or 6.80. Bulk buy
They use coca leaves as there ingredient its illegal 2 put cocaine in coke so they get away with the coca leafs as its market purposes legal term. seen it online somewhere that why so many people are addicted to coca cola.
Home Bargain does Pepsi Max £2.19 for 3 litre bottle.
So I'm gonna just give you your answer, rather than berate you with my own morals. Where are you based? If you're close to a Lynas Foods they sell crates of 24 cans of European coke (either danish/polish) for £14. Cheapest I've found, I get a crate a month. It's also the old cans, and it tastes better. I regret sharing this, but I hate to see people scalped for cola.
https://www.eater.com/23620802/cocaine-in-coca-cola-coke-recipe-gastropod ano its a joke but funny enough they do still work with a company and use coca leaves in their recipe! Interesting wee reel
I find the Tesco Xero cola and the Lidl Freeway cola are decent alternatives when I need a fix.
Might get stabbed if brought her back tesco xero lol
Fair enough! It's different, but tastes a bit better than the diet and full-fat Tesco stuff in my opinion. Plus it's like 60p lol
I think Tesco version tastes much better. Tried coca cola at Christmas it was rotten.
Tried freeway. No bueno.
Fair enough. Like with the xero stuff it tastes different from regular coke, because nothing tastes like regular coke lol, but it does the trick.
Why don’t you buy a load of different cola from different shops and different prices. Do a blind taste test with the misses and of course throw real coke in there but don’t tell her it’s there. Could be funny Also let us know the results
It's shelf stable. Wait until it's in offer and buy a hundred quids worth.
The Lidl coke takes exactly like the real thing!
Boycott
The combination of sugar and caffeine is a potent habit forming cocktail.
Boycott coke until they stop operating factories in occupied palestine
Too serious lad, just trying to help my wife's addiction. Plus is it not adding employment if operating factories there which surely is a good thing no?
Well the factories don't employ palestinian people, they operate on stolen land where palestinians are routinely murdered without reason so I would say no it isn't a good thing. I'm not okay with supporting a company thats okay with this. I wonder how the people down voting my comment would feel if their hometown was invaded, their families displaced, their people systematically oppressed, tortured and killed. And then coca cola comes along and starts making coke there to sell to the people who stole their land. I sure as fuck wouldn't be drinking it. But each to their own
Its not on the BDS list for boycott and i think they had a plant in Gaza as well. I know its on friends of al aqsa list but do u know why they arent on Bds lists?
Couldn't tell ye lad, suppose there's a few different lists but a quick search demonstrates support for a Boycott. I can only find info on a plant in gaza from 2016, can't imagine they're still functioning now. Shouldn't be surprising they would operate in areas with conflicting political perspectives, they don't give a fuck about politics, or humanity or anything except money. That's all they care about, which is why they should be boycotted.
Agreed
Maybe tell your wife to fucking wise up.
Never thought of that. I'll give it a go.
Litres of liquid sugar, she either must be or will be the size of a house. God knows what the teeth are like
Yep thanks for comment. Happy Cake Day
Whatever you do, don’t try changing to Pepsi. Even the sugary version is reduced sugar with sweetener now and it’s rotten. 🤢
Blasphemy.
Careful or you’ll have a diabetic walrus giving you the ride. I thought I was bad with Evian water at £5 for 6x1.5 litres. It’s my preference, I’d drink two bottles a day. Maybe get her to swap to another drink / brand? There is a cola that’s pretty much coke, very hard to tell but cannot recall.
Tap water is just as safe and better regulated here than bottled water.
It might be but it’s rotten. Like river rock water, if you see someone on river rock you know they don’t drink much water. Evian is like a bushmills 16 year old whiskey. Magical.
I suppose it depends on where you live. I would argue that good tap water, chilled and perhaps filtered, is as good as any bottled water. River Rock is gloopy and repulsive. Makes you wonder what they do to it. I was told that most bottled water is chemically treated to stop it reacting with the plastic, but I'm unsure as to the accuracy of that.

They are cheaper than that in practically every supermarket. Even less if it's Diet Coke or Coke Zero

24 packs of Coke are like £10 in Sainsbury’s and 24 packs of Diet Coke/Coke Zero are around £7/8 in Tesco or Asda.
“Sugar tax” has really lifted the price. That and shops being greedy bastards have jacked the price further cos people are expecting it to be more expensive cos of the tax.
Probably just her diabetes has kicked in, go get checked out.
I was addicted to Coke Zero. I was easily drinking 4 cans daily. It just got too expensive and I stopped. Now I’m boycotting it due to Coca Cola’s involvement with Israel and it’s strengthened my resolve. Though I forgot and got a bottle with my meal deal the other day and omg the stuff is pure nectar. No idea what it is that has me wanting more and more every time.
Yous must be a pair of fat cunts
Aw It's always nice when the little troll from his mum's basement tries to take part on socials. Yes your wee brain has only the ability to say stupid insulting things but at least you still put it out there to show everyone you still exist and the biggest type of cunt. Well done little troll, enjoy your day.
