Couldn't find the colas in the Tesco I normally go to. Will need to go to the big one and see if they're there.

Just saw a post from February on Digital Spy, which said that Fanta Grape is launching in UK supermarkets in March.

Ooh, grape pop! I hope it'll be made with real sugar!

I think that's probably unlikely... it will probably be the 'zero' version.

Nope, thanks to sugar tax everything is being made with aspartame and sucralose now :( even fruit juices.

I was trying to get lemonade at Aldi yesterday, and only the "diet" version was easily accessible.  The "regular" side was empty to way back in the back, under the nearly-empty pallet that still had a few diet ones left.  I actually moved those diet bottles out of the way and lifted the plastic pallet thing out of the way to reach for a bottle of the regular stuff, even though I know it has artificial sweeteners in it, too.  I don't even know why they sell two varieties if they both have artificial stuff in them.  But I don't drink much of it, so meh.  My husband uses it as a mixer in drinks.

Belvoir farms lemonade is the real deal with sugar still :) its what we get. Their ginger beer is also nommy. Not cheap, but since its a rare treat its worth it.

My local shopping options are Aldi, B&M, and Iceland.  Not a lot of choice, unless I drive down to Llanelli or up to Carmarthen.  In the US, I wouldn't have thought twice about driving "so far" for groceries.  But I've succumbed to the British distance mentality.  :P

Hey guys, i was in Home Bargains today, and they are stocking cans of Fanta Grape.  It's the 'zero' version with sweeteners and no sugar, but might work for some of you.

While you're there, they also have albacore tuna, blocks of monterey jack cheese (not just the slices, which is all you can find in other stores) and they also have this Chip Shop Curry cheddar cheese, which i can confirm is *lush*!

I've tried the Fanta grape regular and Zero and neither are very nice. And that's surprising because I love the other Fanta Zero flavours.

And ASDA sells blocks of Monterey Jack cheese. It's not in the regular cheese aisle but in the speciality cheese section by the deli.
