I wish there was an alternative available in the UK that doesn't contain artificial sweeteners, but there isn't. Coke is the only commonly available carbonated soft drink that doesn't also contain sweeteners. I hate the taste of artificial sweeteners, and they're carcinogen. I know sugary drinks aren't good for you anyway, but I will avoid sweeteners at least.

Glad I am not the only crazy one who hates the taste of those chemicals. I remember how horrible it was when Ribena started using them. I also recommend Rocks.
