Choices!

[Alasdair]

I was catching a flight from Stansted yesterday and went into Burger King for food. Went over to the drinks machine which was a nice fancy digital touch screen one with an option for 'low calorie/no sugar' drinks. Exciting I thought but only expected to find Diet Coke and Coke Zero but no........ Fanta zero, Fanta still zero, Dr Pepper zero, Sprite Zero .... So I opted for Fanta zero and was then given the option of loads of different Fanta zero flavours for the first time ever! Peach, raspberry, grape etc. I know there's probably an issue about them using the same pump/nozzle as full sugar drinks but just having all those options felt like heaven!!

Why were you in Burger King to start with and then try and disguise a poor nutritional choice with a "healthy" drink?

Talk about spoilt for choice

Although I'm a little wary of using this drink dispensers it's great that so many options are available now, gone are the days of boring (and tasteless) soft drinks like Tab & 1 cal.

Aye very good - at no point did I attempt to disguise it as healthy and at no point did I ask for comment on the nutritional value of a Burger King meal. I'm well aware of those. Go find another thread and just allow us to enjoy the fact that there are choices out there that we are rarely afforded, unhealthy or not.

What a choice. I've been drinking sprite zero for a while now (as it's the only option here), particularly in the summer months. Hopefully my local supermarket will start stocking some of the drinks you've showed.
