Big Gulp

Do you get "Coca Cola Light" in the UK?
Not "diet coke"...cola light.

I love the stuff so much better than diet coke, none of the after taste!

I know they have it in most of europe and over here in asia ...so why don't they sell it in the States????
It would be such a hit.

My fav. diet cola in the States was Pepsi One. But over here Pepsi 1 tastes nasty. :P

Yes, you can find it, but it's a bit hit-and-miss.  Different shops carry different ones.  But you can find it at lots of the corner shops.  Funny you think it tastes different.  I thought it was the same thing!

Pepsi1 = Pepsi Max over here and I just love the stuff.  :)

I've never heard of pepsi max. hmm
I've been swilling down diet cokes everyday for most of my adult life (need to stop that!) and I could def. tell the difference the first time i drank a cola light in Germany. I'd say it was much sweeter than diet coke, no after taste. Addictive.
I also love mountain dew...can't get that here.

Ya ever notice w/ Mountain dew how you want more and more...like it really is addictive...or maybe it just has to much sodium in it, which makes u drink more of it! ;D

Ditto-- pepsi max is Good Stuff!!!

when we first moved here I looked around for Diet D Pepper- couldn'y find it anywhere!!  One day at work the other nurses alll got really excited for me-- there was Diet Dr Pepper in the hospital Snacks Shop!!!   hooray!!

it is funny how "hit and miss" it can be with these products.

these days- i try to avoid unhealthy "fizzy drinks" though- I'll take the calories in a glass of wine instead!
Poo? .... Poo!!
Yes, Piglet?
Nothing.  I just wanted to be sure of you.

Pepsi Max rules! :)
I'm drinking a coke light at the moment - I prefer pepsi to coke but I got a take-away for dinner and this is what it came with, I've found that the places I generally find coke Light rather than diet coke are small, privately owned places, I wonder if they go to europe to get it, or have it shipped, maybe it's cheaper? Don't know...
I'm done moving. Unrepatriated back to the UK, here for good!

It seems that Pepsi and Coke dont have the rivalry here like the do in the U.S.
