I can't abide any of these articially flaoured, coloured and preserved drinks. They are a way to sell cheap ingredients for a high price and are promoted using expensive marketing campaigns. Heavily marketed tulip. They also provide subsidised/free fridges in garages and shops with an agreement not to allow competing products to be stored. Hence the reason why the drinks in petrol stations tend to tulipe. They also rot your teeth, and make you hyperactive, and/or fat.
If people were not brought up on this stuff, and hence were not habituated to it, they would realise how vile and artificial it tastes.Comment
