[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1602943, member: 52527"] Thank you for the clarification. The intended purchase of diet lemonade is a red herring. In the UK, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that goods should 'as described'. If [USER=1208]@Rosie[/USER] LKH asked for diet Pepsi and was supplied with 'normal', non-diet Pepsi, the principle of caveat emptor does not apply as the goods have been misrepresented by the seller. In practical terms a refund for mis-sold goods is of little consolation once The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that goods should be 'as described' so you have a right to complain if you were sold full sugar Pepsi which had been supplied as 'diet Pepsi'. However, that's probably little consolation once your blood glucose has shot up. From a practical point of view, some people take glucose test strips out with them and check diet drinks at the time they are served. This a) allows you to avoid drinking a sugar-laden drink inadvertently and b) alerts the bar staff to the error which may help prevent other people being mis-sold drinks as 'diet' drinks. [/QUOTE]
