I drink these in preference to Diet Coke.
I've tried to copy the info - but the writing is a bit small in places and websites don't always give the whole information. the only one with a diabetic warning is Lidl's. But the ingredients look to be almost the same as the rest.
My favourite? Red Bull Sugar Free and Aldi's Red Thunder.
Anyone got any advice on these ingredients?
